Rook piercing
DESCRIPTION
A Rook piercing is placed through the prominent cartilage fold in the upper inner part of the ear.
This cartilage area sits between the outer ear rim and the inner concha, roughly above the ear canal. Put simply, when moving inwards from the outer edge of the ear, the Rook is placed through one of the clearly defined inner cartilage ridges in the upper section.
Because of its placement, a Rook is a distinctive yet subtle ear piercing. It can be beautifully highlighted with a curved barbell or, once fully healed, with a hoop. Combined with other ear piercings, it can form part of harmonious, personalised ear styling.
Because the size and shape of the cartilage fold required for a Rook piercing vary from person to person, not every ear is suitable for this piercing. Before the procedure, our piercers assess your ear anatomy and help determine the ideal placement and select the appropriate premium titanium starter jewellery.

CARE
The healing time for a Rook piercing is approximately 2–4 months.
For a smooth healing process, please follow these guidelines:
- Do not go swimming, use a sauna, or visit a tanning salon for the first two weeks after getting pierced.
- Until fully healed, do not remove, change, or rotate the jewellery, and do not treat the piercing with alcohol-based products.
- Always wash your hands thoroughly before caring for a fresh piercing.
- Use an alcohol-free disinfectant and an anti-inflammatory aftercare product twice daily.
- Every 2–3 days, apply a sterile 0.9% saline compress for approximately 10 minutes. This supports healing and helps remove dried blood and discharge. If necessary, use a sterile cotton swab or sterile gauze.
- Do not sleep on the jewellery until the piercing has fully healed. Make sure that nothing puts pressure on or irritates it, such as a hat or headphones. Keep any objects that regularly come into contact with the piercing clean as well.
- If a healed piercing later becomes inflamed, consult a professional to discuss the appropriate treatment and whether a jewellery change may be necessary. Do not postpone this for several days—prompt care makes the issue easier to treat.
- If you have any questions or notice anything unusual during healing, contact us immediately.
