Orbital piercing

[1][2] While usually located in the helix region of the ear, an orbital piercing can be done anywhere on the body including the earlobes.

A professional piercer will use a sterilized hollowed gauge needle, a captive bead ring for jewelry, and a pair of pliers.

Once the jewelry is placed correctly, the piercer will repeat the process, except this time they will not insert a new captive ring.

The first and most important step to proper healing is to begin by getting pierced by a qualified, licensed, experienced piercer.

If your piercing or the surrounding skin becomes swollen to a concerning degree; starts seeping red, black or green colored fluid; becomes red, hot, and/or shiny; bleeds continuously; or causes any problem with your hearing, seek urgent medical care to be evaluated for infection and treatment.
