The provided video suggests that inserting a hoop earring in your cartilage, specifically a helix piercing, involves a gentle manipulation of the ear and careful alignment with the piercing hole.
Here's a breakdown based on the provided video excerpt:
-
Manipulation of the Ear: Gently move or push your ear to better expose the piercing hole. This might involve pushing your ear forward or backward, depending on the location and angle of the piercing.
-
Alignment and Insertion: Carefully align the hoop earring with the piercing hole. If inserting from the back of the ear, push the ear in a way that you can clearly see the hole.
-
Gentle Pushing: Gently push the earring through the hole. Avoid forcing it, as this can cause pain or damage to the piercing.
Important Considerations (not explicitly in the video, but important):
- Cleanliness: Ensure both your hands and the earring are clean to prevent infection.
- Angle: Make sure you're inserting the earring at the correct angle.
- Lubrication (Optional): Applying a small amount of water-based lubricant can help the earring slide in more easily.
- Professional Piercing: If you are having trouble inserting the hoop, it might be due to the piercing angle. A professional piercer can assist you.
