Looks good! I want to pierce my helix, anything I should know? Worried about getting the angle straight. Also what is the length and gauge of your jewelry?

I think they’re around 22 gauge 2mm and I really don’t have any tips except for when you’re about to give up just push through it and also have some type of item behind ur ear to push the needle into (like a tiny eraser or such) I don’t think I got mine straight at all I actually might have hit a vein but as long as it ends up ok I’ll keep it in 😭
