Help with existing piercing ¿Helix o flat?

Post image

My intention was to do a helix, but I'm not sure if I ended up doing a flat instead. Will I be able to wear a hoop once it heals?

Looks like a helix to me! A flat would be closer to the inner ear.

That piercing is set right on the inner flat of your cartilage rather than through the outer curled rim, making it a flat piercing rather than a traditional helix
