The Rook piercing was made famous by the American piercing artist Erik "Rook" Dakota, who is said to have been the first to pierce it.
Piercing details
| Piercing type | Ear piercing |
|---|---|
| Healing time | approx. 3 - 6 months |
| Please note | For a rook piercing, we definitely recommend using a banana as the initial jewelry, as your piercing will heal faster compared to a ring as the initial jewelry. With a fresh rook piercing, we recommend sleeping for a few nights so that no pressure is exerted on the piercing. Cartilage piercings, such as the rook piercing, take a little longer to heal than other piercings. |
| Jewelry change | The first insert jewelry can be changed after approx. 3 - 6 weeks. |
| Price | CHF 69.– (including first insert jewelry made of pure titanium) |
