For those who are keen for a new piercing in the inner cartilage, the rook piercing is one of the most interesting ones that you can get. To achieve the look, a piercer passes a needle through the rook ridge. A single piece of jewelry, normally a curved barbell, will be passed through the piercing once it’s pierced. If your rook ridge isn’t suitable for the rook piercing, don’t give up just yet. There is a way to achieve a similar look with something called the faux rook piercing.

The faux rook piercing is meant to emulate the look of a rook piercing with a curved barbell, but it consists of two piercings instead of one. Rather than piercing the rook ridge, the piercer will pierce the cartilage above and below the rook ridge, filling the holes with cartilage studs. People opt for the faux rook piercing for a couple of reasons. The first is that they simply don’t have a suitable rook ridge for piercing. This fold of cartilage has to be just right in order to conduct the piercing safely, and many people aren’t able to get the rook piercing, so they settle for the faux rook look. Another reason to get the faux rook piercing is if you want the versatility of a double piercing. If you get a faux rook, you can opt to decorate one or both piercings at any time, and it can be fun to have that option.

In a faux rook piercing, you can only wear cartilage studs, so you won’t ever be able to emulate the appearance of a rook piercing decorated with a hoop. But if you want a double piercing like a flat plus a faux rook, it will be perfect, and you can get creative studs that match each other very well.

The healing time of both rook and faux rook piercings is the same. Just make sure that you clean the piercings two to three times daily with a piercing aftercare solution, take care of yourself and your body during the healing period, and avoid activities that might harm the piercings, and you’ll be just fine.
