ROOK PIERCING EXPERIENCE

[@ronspitchers9824]

I had both rooks pierced nearly 20 years ago, I had them done a month apart because sleeping on it while its healing is a painful experience, they however heal in about 20 days and then totally painless. Since then I have removed all piercings except the rooks and they honestly are very cool as a lone piercing and generate a lot of interest. I have short straight barbells in both. The piercing itself was not that bad, I did bleed a lot on the right side but the pain of having a needle shoved through cartilage was tolerable. I'm now 55 years old and my kids friends think I'm the coolest dad they know.

[@katkaplan3]

Rons Pitchers hey there, I’m 55 too and the “cool mom” for my kids friends etc, started piercings 25? Years ago and tats 6? Years ago.

[@bartsimpson8010]

They do NOT heal in 20 days who on earth told you that

[@louisemorrison4085]

Bart Simpson well people’s experiences are different, his piercings healed in 20 days probably because he took care of them. everyone is different

[@royalmilotic]

@@louisemorrison4085 no seriously, it's not about personal experiences. a rook never takes such little time to heal, that's impossible even if you had the best aftercare and experience ever

[@jackystar5099]

Got my rook pierced four days ago and I'd say it was probably a 3 when the needle was going in. It was my first piercing (not counting my lobe I got when I was way younger). I also got my helix and I was surprised to have a different pain. My rook hasn't swollen much and it doesn't hurt. So if your worried about the pain I'd say just get it done. Those 2 seconds of pain are worth it as long as you care for it correctly.

[@Blondeamy]

+Jacky Star I’d have to agree! :)

[@PilotCristina]

Mine was like a 2/10. It took like 2 seconds for my piercer. I think as long as you have a fast piercer... piercings aren’t so bad. I also have very thick cartilage on my rook area if that helps anyone.

[@dreadesp1764]

Your eyes are gorgeous hun. Nice video btw ☮️

[@Samantha-sm9bq]

Getting mine done in two days, thank you for the great information! I’m kinda nervous, but I’m excited!

[@oumaymashili4898]

Samantha Glick how it went?

[@yourinnergrowth]

everyone has a different pain limit. I have a helix, daith, tragus and rook. And the daith and rook were the most painful for me.

[@heathersproule4116]

I got mine done 2 days ago and I love it so much, pain wasn’t that bad, I think my belly button was worse!!

[@jessellemontano7932]

For me its the opposite! My rook hurt more

[@claralobsiger4284]

I agree!

[@lindabello4460]

Got my rook pierced two day’s ago now and actually getting it done was a piece of cake, but the healing is killing me, I’m even contemplating taking it out, my ear is so swollen and red and the pain in that whole area is ridiculous

[@Blondeamy]

Oh no it will go away I promise! 🙁

[@starr5043]

I got mine done about 3 weeks ago. It takes about 3 days to a week for the swelling to go down. But now it’s a piece of cake. Isn’t swollen. Doesn’t hurt to touch it, sleep on it, or clean it. Mine throbbed for like 6 days but it’s good now. Definitely try to wait it out!

[@mylittlefurry8076]

Don’t touch it, get hair away from it. Don’t put shampoo clean it 2x a day with saline. Don’t sleep on it or even touch it

[@dimplebear6939]

So it is exactly like the conch. Not felt much pain during the piercing process, but the real painfull moment are during healing! It painfully throbbing and couldn't sleep at nights. 😅

[@Jess140594]

I think the most painful piercing of all of mine, has been my anti-tragus. I’ve had both pierced and one side, twice (avoiding scar tissue). Once it was done though, theres no pain

[@basiakrzyzanska1620]

I agree people say it hurts more than it does, I have experienced pain afterwards but it's fine

[@2148-j8i]

i love your teeth they are so sharp and perfect

[@SpookyUshii]

My rook piercing was the most painful by far. The healing process is terrible so far. It hurts so badly for me. I can’t even touch my ear right now. I got it done 5 days ago. I have 15 piercings currently and have had 29 in the past. I have a super high pain tolerance. I love seeing how each person is different from the next with piercings though.

[@Blondeamy]

No way that’s crazy, I always thought it would be the most painful but maybe I was just lucky! I hope yours heals soon enough!!

[@alexahuggard5267]

i loved this video! it was very helpful, i got my rook done about a week ago and love it! would u plz do a video on ur tongue piercing its really cute and im considering getting one! :)

[@naimadelabretoniere9429]

I got my rook pierced 3 days ago. I love it so much. And I also have my conch pierced. A lot of people say the conch is more painfull than the rook but thats not true. For me al least. I really liked your video. Your way of talking is so nice to listen too. I hope you keep making videos about piercings😊

[@kittens1567]

Naima De La Bretoniere I just got my rook yesterday and it was my most painful piercing yet and I’ve had six including my conch! My conch didn’t hurt at all I was expecting that pain level.....definitely not lol

[@andreabalieva]

i wasnt so nervous but my rook was my most painful piercing.. i had some problems with it wtc, but it finally healed. i got my conch pierced 4 days ago and i was much more nervous but it wasn't as bad.

[@terrifendi]

Getting it and a conch today ..... 👂🏻❤️👂🏻

[@zannakarusewicz5269]

hey! its been over a year now. how is it?

[@terrifendi]

zuzia karusewicz Finally healed but it took almost a year. Getting ready to change from a stud to a diamond eternity hoop (Maria Tash) very soon. Thanks for checking!!

[@anomalou]

Nice video and i like your looks a lot! i got my rook pierced yesterday together with a centered labret and i have several other piercings (lobes, helix, ... the list goes on). I gota admit: even the labret was worse then the rook! i didnt really flinch when the needle went through and i don't really feel anything except from the warmth on the ear. can even sleep on it. easiest piercing ever so far.

[@Blondeamy]

+anomalou it's great to hear you've also had a really positive experience! :)

[@LaBawwws]

whats is the name if the top helix....(with the ring)?

[@Blondeamy]

+TreeTeamdance That’s just the top piercing of a scaffolding piercing that I have taken out. I have since removed that ring piercing though as I didn’t like it.

[@Abneyselena7]

Im getting my rook, industrial, and double helix pierced tmr and im watching a bunch if videos on them. I dont really know y. I did the same thing when i got my nose pierced and my parents really agree with the part that if i dont like it i can take it out. My parents let me get piercings bc if i end up not liking it i can just take it out cuz its not like a tattoo. But im still allowed to get tattoos i just have to be 15, i have to pay for it myself, and it has to have a meaning behind it.

[@paola15101967]

Had my rook pierced about 2 months ago. The pain was not that much. The healing takes a long time for me. After a few weeks I could sleep on it but my ear is still a bit swolen. It did not get infected but I think I had it sunburned a few days after piercing. Maybe that is the reason why it is still a bit swolen. When I touch it I still feel a little pain, but that is all. I really like the piercing and I think it is worth the trouble.

[@Blondeamy]

+paola15101967 thanks for commenting, I'm pleased you've also had a positive experience! :)

[@S416Angel]

Thank you so much for this video!! I’ve been contemplating about it for a bit also and I’ve had the same feelings you did watching other KZbin videos about the rook piercing. Plus I have my tragus pierced as well on the same ear I’m thinking about getting my rook, just as you do and I love the way it looks on you so I’ll definitely be getting it soon :)

[@Blondeamy]

Let me know how you find it, honestly anticipation is worse than having it done I swear :)

[@Paula-sw2tt]

I love my rook piercing. I have 27 ear piercings and swear by my beloved travel pillow, since I am a side sleeper.

[@Blondeamy]

Such a great piercing isn’t it! Great hack with the travel pillow ☺️

[@leahhammonds1200]

My rook was only £15 and really good quality! :o

[@theboutique1]

I got this done today and also in north Devon :)

[@Blondeamy]

Haha no way 🎉

[@katkaplan3]

Good vid 👍 just got my second rook done 2-3 days ago, had gotten my first one done about 3 yrs ago, same time I got both tragus piercings done, so had kind of forgotten the pain, but it was like a 2, just sore a bit now but I’m sure it will heal as nicely as my others- have 40 ish total/ conch (1), helix (10?), lobes (22?) nostril (2).... idk if I added right but about that amount. No lip, tongue, septum, navel etc. just ears and nose.

[@timidelle1127]

What an amazing video!! I am considering both rook and conch right now and your tips were very useful, especially the last part when you encouraged us 😍💕

[@Blondeamy]

I’m so happy it helped! Let me know how it goes if you get them done :) X

[@LifeLp24]

The rook looks nice, I was thinking of other piercings to get since I have my conch done, I'm leaning more towards the daith piercing tho, I believe the jewelry are a lot more nicer for diath

[@Blondeamy]

I really want my daith pierced next - agrees looks so pretty!

[@LifeLp24]

@@Blondeamy I ended up getting my daith pierced and 2 months ago I also got my rook pierced, it was the most painful one I had. The piercer went super slow when doing it but he also said I had a big rook area.

[@sophiemurray1995]

I'm 12 and tomorrow I'm getting my double helix rock and Tagus on my left ear. I'm really excite but a bit anxious. I have quite a unusually high pain tolerance but I'm still nervous 😩

[@Blondeamy]

+Sophie Murray I hope it went okay Sophie! I didn’t find my tragus painful at all :)

[@WLewis1987]

Your hair is so platinum it literally is white

[@Ali-jx3gb]

Getting it done in 2 weeks I’ll update💞💞💞

[@Ali-jx3gb]

update - didn’t actually hurt i got my helix/cartilage done on the same day and that hurt a lot more don’t worry it just feels like pressure x

[@zannakarusewicz5269]

hey! is it healed now

[@Little_Muscle_mummy]

Getting mine done tomorrow, I have both nipples done, nose, septum, conch and tragus and I’m still nervous

[@ruthlopez6717]

I got mine three days ago n at first didn’t hurt and I was good at the second day until I decided to clean it again and put some salt water and started to swallow and it’s sooo painful even my jaw hurts and I’m if move my neck hurts ! I’m scared. I been cleaning it. But I don’t know what going on. 😢

[@Blondeamy]

I'd definitely get in touch with your piercer so they can take a look 😊

[@dontmindmeimjustaflower647]

i had my rook pierced about 4days ago, the pain of the needle was about a 2.5:10. not painful at all!.. well, almost. since then it is swollen and hurts soooo so damn much. the back of my ear and head and part of my jaw hurts to fkn much. piercing pain differs for anyone (since everyone's cartilage is different)

[@Blondeamy]

Oh no I’m sorry to hear that! Your ears, nose and throat are all connected so there is always a risk more will ache when getting a piercing but keep cleaning it and hopefully the pain is only short lived! X

[@dontmindmeimjustaflower647]

Blonde Amy ok so quick update; its been 10days and literally the day after i commented about my horrid pain, it went away!! it is still a little bit tender but sooooo so much better!

[@Blondeamy]

That’s amazing ☺️ X

[@333tee]

Oi same my ear is on fire, thank god I don’t get it before gcse exam

[@tacos_are_life_and_im_tras7091]

I’m getting my rook done soon so I’m trying to figure out what I’m in for 😂 I got my 4 lobes and my septum already

[@Blondeamy]

You won’t regret it! Just make sure you clean it all the time to prevent infection ☺️

[@DarleneWhite]

Isn’t the “rook” piercing suppose to help with anxiety? I had my paith done for migraines! I have had one in 3 years instead of 3-4 a week!

[@salimparks4506]

Darlene White no, it isn't

[@yourinnergrowth]

The rook piercing helps with headache.

[@salss8937]

Thankyou for this video, it was very useful xox

[@holsjh02xxx38]

North Devon for the win

[@graceemmerson8688]

Mine was £25 :)

[@mylittlefurry8076]

I’d never change mine if I got a rook piercing.

[@thisiswhitespace]

I got rook yesterday but it bled today and I am so scared should I take it off...?

[@Blondeamy]

No! Just clean it out, you may have knocked it a little without realising but that’s totally normal for the first few days :)

[@thisiswhitespace]

@@Blondeamy thank you for your answer. I was panicked and needed an advice from someone who has rook

[@erdnuss244]

My helix bled 2 days after I got it and I tried to clean it with a cotton swab and it hurt soo much and started bleeding again and again. I waited about one week without touching it and then everything went off pretty easy. Just wait until it doesnt hurt anymore, even if it looks ugly 😊

[@darlenejordan5777]

25 pounds is how much in US Currency?

[@paulibobrowski2743]

Darlene Jordan around $35

[@Cupidstupid10]

Mate, it fucking hurt, but the guy who pirced me had troubes getting the needle through, it took a while

[@Blondeamy]

Ouch!

[@devenwaring]

£25?? I got mine for £15

[@Sarah-ko3mx]

Oh wow that's so cheap, in jealous!! I'm getting one tomorrow (unless I get too scared or decide on a different piercing haha) and mine will be £25 too :'(

[@mayuseyama]

Do you use iodized salt or seasalt?

[@Blondeamy]

+Mayu Seyama I use sea salt!

[@radchiken4812]

never use iodized. ever. himalayan or sea salt are the only JUAANs
