Shen Men piercing
DESCRIPTION
A Shen Men piercing is placed in the triangular cartilage depression in the upper inner part of the ear, known as the triangular fossa. This area is located in the upper section of the ear, between its inner cartilage ridges. Put simply, the jewellery is placed not through the outer ear rim, but further in, within a small depression in the upper part of the ear.
Thanks to its unique placement, a Shen Men piercing looks beautiful even with small, elegant jewellery. Combined with other ear piercings, it can form part of harmonious, personalised ear styling.
As the size and shape of this cartilage area vary from person to person, our piercers assess your ear anatomy before the procedure. They will help determine the ideal placement and select the appropriate premium titanium starter jewellery.

CARE
The healing time for a Shen Men 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.
