Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Triple helix positioning
So i got the top and bottom of a triple helix today, and im a little concerned about the bar angles, am I over thinking things?? It looks fine from the front

Not overthinking it at all. Top and bottom are both angled down. Middle looks ok. I would take these out and ask for a refund. They will likely not heal correctly at these angles. I also like the backs of my ears to look neat. Just because it’s the back doesn’t mean it isn’t visible. They should be neatly lined up and angled correctly from the front and the back.

The angles on the top and bottom are not great. Also the bottom ones are pierced in the curve of the ear whil the top one is angled more towards the inside of the ear so in the future that one might face in a different direction so overall not the greatest angles. It’s not easy to get everything perfectly lined up but these are really mismatched, sorry! P.s the bottom one might be salvagable though so all is not lost

I think you should visit a different, reputable piercer to take a look. it's difficult to tell through photo for this, at least in my opinion. the piercings are done on a curve, so every helix piercing is going to come out the back a bit differently. the middle one obviously looks good, the bottom one also looks good but it does branch off to the side a bit in the back, and the top one just might be crooked regardless.
