Placement and Angles
A blend of science and sculpture.
Each piercing is carefully positioned to complement your features
and flow seamlessly with your existing jewelry.
The goal: symmetry, balance, and a fit that feels intentional
— from every angle.
Forward-Facing Piercing
Precision you can see — before we begin.
Each placement is marked with you present, mirror in hand,
so you can view and approve every angle before the piercing starts.
A proper angle ensures your jewelry sits flush, faces forward, and heals beautifully.
Check Fit Before Checkout
The right post length and backing style
make all the difference in comfort and balance.
Every detail, perfected — before it leaves our hands.
How We Pierce
Safety first. Always.
At Apollo, we pierce exclusively with sterile, single-use needles — never piercing guns.
Every tool is Statim-sterilized and opened fresh for your appointment.
Our initial jewelry is made from implant-grade titanium, solid 14k gold, or niobium — materials proven to support clean, healthy healing.
Safety Comes First
Cleanliness isn’t optional — it’s ritual.
Every surface, tool, and glove is carefully accounted for.
Sterilization logs are tracked daily,
and our autoclaves are validated with spore testing.
Before you leave, we’ll walk you through
aftercare, saline use, and what to expect as you heal.

Piercing Placements + Healing Times
Healing time varies by anatomy, jewelry, and care. These averages are a guide — not a guarantee. Downsizing is recommended for most cartilage piercings once swelling subsides.
Healing Time by Piercing Location
Lobe
2–4 months for full healing. Downsizing at 6–8 weeks helps maintain comfort.
Healing Time:
Helix
6–12 months. Avoid sleeping on the pierced side and use a travel pillow for support.
Healing Time:
Conch
6–12 months. Inner-ear piercings heal best with implant-grade studs or clickers.
Healing Time:
Tragus
6–12 months. Use minimal pressure when inserting earbuds or headphones.
Healing Time:
Daith
9–12 months. Swelling may linger longer; saline rinses help ease it.
Healing Time:
Rook
6–12 months. Curved bars offer the smoothest healing path.
Healing Time:
Forward Helix
6–12 months. Great for clusters and layered jewelry looks.
Healing Time:
Antitragus
9–12 months. A bold, balanced accent when styled with the helix or conch.
Healing Time:
Rook
A vertical piercing that goes through the ridge of the inner ear closest to the head. Rings and curved barbells are ideal for this placement.
Healing Time:
Your Aftercare and Next Steps
Healing is art in progress. Use sterile 0.9% saline, avoid rotation, and let the body do its work. Schedule a check-in for downsizing or jewelry swaps after your healing window opens.
