Pros & Cons of a Rook Piercing |Piercing |NativeBeauty

[@vanessa9558]

In all honesty, you’re the first person that I’ve ever seen make cheek piercings work. They look adorable! 😍

[@jasminelitsa]

i have my rook pierced and one 'hack' i discovered to help with the sleeping issue is to either get a neck pillow or a pillow with a hole in it and place your ear in the gap. I did this with the neck pillow and it allowed me to sleep and my side without it irritating the piercing.

[@Twin_Sister-ip8kj]

I've done this with all of my ear piercings! Works wonders.

[@kit1063]

I got my my rook done at the beginning of a depressive episode, and I felt so much better (obviously not cured + my mood stabilisers definitely help so much). Maybe it was the endorphins, or doing something completely for myself; maybe it does help with stress, physiologically, or maybe it’s just placebo. What ever it is, all that matters is I feel better. Whatever works! Thanks for the video 😊 *Side note* :my rook was the least painful of my piercings! Literally right after it was done, I couldn’t even feel it (no soreness, except a little when I clean it). The same day I got it, the piercer helped change my helix jewellery, which are 100% healed, and those were more sore than my rook 😂

[@madisonn6624]

I've had my rook pierced for over a year now and I just recently changed it for the first time and I'm so glad I waited for it to fully heal! Its my favorite piercing by far💕

[@holley7653]

I got my rook done two days ago, it was by far the most painful piercing out of my industrial, tragus and lobe piercings. Surprisingly, I haven’t had trouble sleeping. I just hope it doesn’t get infected 😁

[@Paula-sw2tt]

Travel neck pillows are a godsend.

[@jordonjames7768]

My mum walked in with a migraine, got her daith done, and walked out without one 😃😃😃😃

[@pidge8964]

that might just be due to the adrenline she went through while being pierced.

[@jordonjames7768]

Hikari Hanaka MMD [3D Animator] she hasn't had a migraine since and she used to get them daily

[@lieveheersbeestje099]

Hikari Hanaka MMD [3D Animator] No this actually works. Some doctors even recommend getting one when you are having migraines

[@pidge8964]

theres no scientific proof that it works. for some people it does and others it doesnt

[@loobyharrison4119]

Same with me too! Had it done for 10 months haven't had a migraine since, it hurt a lot tho!

[@hannahmae7905]

Just got my rook pierced today it's kinda sore but I don't regret it!

[@ayealexisss]

Hannah Mae How is it for far? I plan on getting my rook & my tragus done. Honestly debating though.

[@hannahmae7905]

Alexis T it hurt a bit getting it done and then it was sort of sore for the first few days and I couldn't touch it but now a can lean on it and stuff and it's fine

[@hannahmae7905]

Alexis T just make sure u get a spray for it and clean it like twice a day to prevent infection

[@holliemuh2tay130]

I use a small wine glass to soak my rook and double helix, it fits my ear perfectly and you can hold the stem! Makes it so easy!

[@fall3nange11]

I started watching her cause i wanted a conch, i dont even want a rook but why is she soo perfect

[@novemberrain9958]

I just loooove your videos, and it feels great to know there's more natives on youtube haha , but I think you're my favorite.

[@NativeBeautyyy]

November Rain this is the nicest comment I've ever gotten. thank you so much!:)

[@aydanmariexo]

I know this is old but your the only person that I’ve ever seen that actually looks good with cheek piercings

[@littlemenatalie]

I think the whole "relieves stress" thing may not be true for everyone. I have anxiety and such, but my rook piercing didn't make a difference with it. :\ Not coming at you or anything, just a heads up for the people that want it for that reason alone :)

[@NativeBeautyyy]

Personally, I don't really think it would help much or at all. I am still just as stressed and full of anxiety as I was before I got it done lol but some people claim it helps them. :)

[@priscillaxsafi]

Got my first rook piercing and I’m so happy😁🤩🤩but the pain of the needle 6/10. Scared for infection but it’s sore but sooo worth it

[@breedensmore6361]

I use a small sampling wine glass for sea salt soaks. Plenty of space for ear and water movement.

[@jilliangorelick4734]

I use saline flushes (saline syringes) w/ 10 ml to irrigate my piercing and it makes it super easy!

[@NativeBeautyyy]

+Jillian Waring that's a good idea! Thanks!:)

[@TheDiabeaters]

Thank you for this video! I got a rook piercing 5 days ago, and today I woke up with it hurting like a bitch. I might have to try soaking it in sea salt. I've just been using saline solution on q-tips and trying to get it in the actual wound part.

[@NativeBeautyyy]

It's such a pain to try to soak lol. I hope the video helped you in some way! :)

[@maddiek4356]

Try putting an ice cube on it for about 10 minutes. It relieves so much pain

[@Hcouperthwaite]

I got my rook pierced about 3 months ago and the first month i had it, i was so tempted to take it out, it was so painful! when i needed to soak it, i got a cotton ball and soaked it in salt water, i put it on top of the piercing as i slept, once i woke up it would feel so refreshed

[@LetsStopThisSong]

Allie Chickie cartilage piercings are honestly such a pain in the ass to heal 😂

[@gretajlin]

Allie Chickie The exact same happened to me, it was fine and after a week it was swelling at painful. What did you need up doing / how is your piercing now?

[@dorsamavedatnia3417]

can you still wear apple ear phones still with a rook piercing? i want to get it done! thanks

[@yami_mami]

Dorsa Mavedatnia yeah however it’s the biggest pain of an ass for even a cartilage piercing holy shit

[@hattiejean5397]

wear ear plugs when you soak it

[@jules6335]

I got a sea salt spray from my piercer & I really like it! You just use it 3-6 times a day (I am for three).

[@arelihemmings9006]

I got my rook pierced a lil over a week ago and it’s honestly hurting more and more. Any tips on how to help relieve the pain?

[@janagutbrod1734]

Wow, I really like you videos! And this one really helped with my decision whether to get a rook piercing or not

[@marthamartha650]

I have it for 6 years and it stills get sore sometimes when I sleep on it..

[@NativeBeautyyy]

Really? I hope mine wont do that.

[@marthamartha650]

It happens rarely. After a few hours you are ok.. btw you are so beatiful and the cheek piercings suit you really well!

[@marthamartha650]

I guess it depends on the person too..

[@LetsStopThisSong]

Martha Martha same happens with my helix ahhhhh

[@Twin_Sister-ip8kj]

Martha Martha- with all of my ear piercings I sleep on travel beck pillow with my ear in the middle of it! Can still lay on that side plus I'm not sleeping directly on the piercing. Works with new or healed piercings!

[@shanellseegar5569]

Got my rook pierced today, didn't hurt but the clam thingy oh my goddddd I wanted to cry. 😭

[@patriciacastenon6352]

My favorite youtuber ur so gorgeous ❤️

[@NativeBeautyyy]

+Patricia Castenon awh, thanks so much!❤

[@zoemitchell783]

A thing that I do for my piercings that is way easier than trying to do a Sea salt soak on a bumpy surface is soak a cotton ball in your solution and then hold it up to your piercing. I hope this makes sense & hope I could help out (:

[@spontaneously2random]

I had mine pierced a couple days ago and it throbs. Using a cotton ball sounds awesome. I think I will try it! It doesn't help that a have a menacing toddler hell bent on messing with my piercings 😂 🙈 or that I moved the piercing to try to get the salt water in there. Upon reading several articles I think it is best to not move it at all and try the cotton ball to it. Thank you. (And thank you to the youtuber who made this video 😊)

[@spike16965]

I do that with mine.

[@BarbaraWilson-gs2cs]

My rook hurt like hell. Like 7 out of 10 and its been a week and its still swollen pretty badly.

[@amyrose7450]

i got mine done yesterday and omg it hurt so much. annoys me that people keep saying it doesnt hurt that much 😂

[@el3733]

Amy Rose ahhhh ohmygod (you like 5sos bLESS) I also just pierced my rook and it’s SOOOO painful

[@amyrose7450]

@@el3733 ayyy yess

[@747creature]

I just got my done earlier today and I swear it didn’t hurt at all I had my daith done for migraines and that hurt so bad like 9 out of 10

[@peacelovemusic719]

Is there a particular website you recommend doing research about? I’m interested in getting my rook pierced.

[@alexandraespinosa5605]

She is so beautiful !

[@NativeBeautyyy]

+Alexandra Espinosa thanks!:)

[@elinorshepherd7916]

I hade my lobe pieced twice with a gun and my cartilage (at the top) pierced once with a gun 😬 I know, and the cartilage didn't hurt at all really but the lobe did a bit. I'd say the cartilage where the rook piecing would be is thinner that the cartilage I got pierced before, so do u think it would hurt if I got the rook pieced with a needle?

[@dianeluna1092]

Very helpful video. Thanks ❤

[@zettiehjortshoj9387]

would u recemend getting this?

[@nettrawler1202]

Con-most piercers place them where the piercee can't see them in the mirror thus negating the entire point of having them as well as making it harder to clean/ change jewellery.

[@NativeBeautyyy]

Nettrawler very good con! I just want to say that some piercers don't have any other option due to someone's individual anatomy. :)

[@nettrawler1202]

Makes sense, I just wish they'd done mine where the cartilage begins to flare out to meet the flat part of the ear. Even if I contort myself I can only see a third of the top in its current location.

[@nettrawler1202]

Pro- pretty much impossible to catch with a hair brush, just be careful if your ear has an itch :)

[@allisona7076]

Help! I've had mine for almost a year and It's still swollen, develops keloids, even bleeds time to time :( my Piercer Says don't use Qtips just spray salt water which I do twice, or 3 times a day and It's still not healed. Is This Okay? I'm not even Sure if Its infected or not

[@jennelynjimenez7807]

Hey, what earring did you use?

[@carolinalobato645]

My healing time is around 3 months

[@lilmakori]

Hey I'm just curious, but if you took your cheek piercings out and let the whole close would they leave dimples?

[@evillartx]

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't if you naturally don't have dimples, because dimples are like the skin just naturally sinking in there, but if you only have the dimple piercings, the only one forming those "dimples" is the fact that the jewelry's pushing on it

[@marielaherrera9330]

it might depend on your own body, most people I know who have taken their dimple piercings out have been left with permanent dimples!

[@whatthetech7647]

youll probably have tiny scar tissue

[@stephaniedodson3288]

I took mine out and I have large dimples.

[@NativeBeautyyy]

Since I've taken mine out and have had them out for 6+ months, I can answer this. Yes it left dimples for me.

[@rockroll5002]

How painful was your cheek piercing? It's cute :))

[@lucykirby2644]

Can you show how to hide it with tied up hair and without a retainer

[@lillsirot1567]

I'm getting my rook done today and I'm really nervous

[@NativeBeautyyy]

+Jordy Girl hope it went well for you!

[@Imawatches]

Did it hurt too much?

[@maggiemusicfan]

I got my rook piercing done over 2 weeks ago and still get crustys or scabing around the piercing is that normal ? Other than that my ear doesn't hurt and there is no redness or swelling

[@tamekalougoon655]

MagsAverage Life hey! I know this is super late and your question has probably been answered, but it's not unusual to find things like gunk around the piercing. I've had mine ears done for over 3 years and still find it. Generally, it's just a build up of dirt, dead skin and other grit that sometimes get stuck there. As long as it isn't hurting, and isn't showing any signs of irritation or infection, you should be good!

[@majocaceres5283]

hey! i'm thinking about getting this piercing but i wear headphones (not earphones) a lot ! do you think i couldnt wear headphones anymore if i get this piercing? Thanks!

[@NativeBeautyyy]

+maria caceres I think you would be able to

[@majocaceres5283]

thanks!

[@MiaFliaa]

Ugh my rook piercing is such a bitch. Took so long for it to stop hurting

[@niamhbarber3617]

Should I get one if I'm going on holiday soon afterwards

[@nancyc.5535]

Niamh Barber probably not if it's ocean involved, saltwater from the sea has more bacteria than a solution you can make or buy. Also traveling you might wanna listen to music w headphones n will be in a new place just make sure you can stay on top of it while ur away:)

[@kelseahill]

I got my rook pierced about 2 days ago - and I cleaned it for the first time today with the tea tree oil it come with - I used my clean finger to place it on with and the rook piercing twisted into my inner ear ( where you can get the 3 forward helix , that but but underneath ) I'm really scared because it hurts and I'm scared incase I can never get it out do you know what I should do?

[@DenilsonBaniwa]

wow!

[@bliss7166]

I got my rook and Tragus pierced two days ago on my right ear and the rook did not hurt at all but the Tragus hurt like a bitch! He pierced the rook first and then the Tragus. Now my rook doesn't really hurt that mug but my Tragus is causing me so much pain in everyday life things like putting on moisturiser on my face hurts? And I can't wear earphones or headphones and that sucks hahaha but it looks so pretty so I'm gonna wait it out and hope it heals fast but my piercer said its gonna take even longer because I got two at once on the same ear :(

[@jolieg1621]

I had my rook pierced a little over a month ago on my right side (I sleep on my left). Well I rolled over in my sleep last week and woke up with an ear covered in dry blood. 😂 Oops!

[@NativeBeautyyy]

+Jolie G 😂😂😂 piercing struggles

[@kianeesareyes4675]

What I do to clean my rook is I do a salt soak every night and I put salt around the holes and I leave it throughout the night and I clean it off in the morning

[@NativeBeautyyy]

+Kianeesa Reyes Thanks for the comment! :) That might be too drying for your piercing though. It hasn't caused any problems for your piercing?

[@noabakker1001]

12 to 18 months?!?! For me its like 2 to 4 months...

[@NativeBeautyyy]

Noa Bakker lol uh huh okay 😅

[@oliviareed6144]

My rook piercing rejected😩😩

[@NativeBeautyyy]

+TheJensenation 😯 sorry! I wonder why!
