A Rook piercing sits in the upper cartilage ridge between the helix and the daith. Like most piercings this is anatomy dependent and not everyone can have it.
Once healed the jewellery options for this piercing are great. Honestly I really like this piercing, it’s also not as common as some of the others. If you are getting a piercing in Birmingham, at Outliers Ink, I will guide you on the day for the best placement but ultimately as long as it is safe to do so we will place it where you are most happy.
At Outliers Ink we will pierce you with sterile titanium jewellery only, or if budget permits 14k gold as they are hypoallergenic and do not contain any nickel. This gives your piercings the best chance of healing well.
Rook piercings have a typical healing time of 5-7 months. After your piercing you will be provided with an aftercare kit along with aftercare advice for you to follow.

Here at Outliers Ink in Birmingham, I absolutely will not pierce with a gun and my advice would be to avoid any establishment that does. They are terribly unhygienic, prone to malfunction, terrible for accuracy and a lot more traumatic for your tissue than a needle may ever appear to be. I only want the best for my clients and if you’re reading this before your appointment with us. I think it’s safe to assume you want the best for yourself too.
I will not pierce the area with a hoop to minimise infection risk. I adopt a safety first approach and once healed you are free to wear whatever jewellery you desire. I often source exclusive pieces for my piercing clients in Birmingham, but let’s get the area healed and healthy first.
As with all tattoos and piercings, pain is subjective and different for each individual. My clients often give this piercing a 6.5 out of 10 pain scale rating. The good news that everyone can agree on is that the piercing process itself is very quick.
