| | The '''helix piercing''' is any piercing through the rim of the [[Cartilage|cartilage]] (thus making it susceptible to complications such as [[Ear Collapse]] if care is not taken to use proper tools and procedures; for example, [[Piercing gun|Piercing guns]] have been shown to be capable of causing cartilage to shatter). The innermost part of the helix (closest to the head) is sometimes called an [[Ear Head Piercing]]. |
| | [[Paul King]] adds, |
| | <blockquote> |
| | "In the West the helix piercing is considered only as adornment. However, helix piercings are found on every continent and in many traditional cultures have great importance. |
|
| |
|
|
| | The [[Dayak]] of [[Borneo]] (tribal names such as [[Iban]] and [[Punan]]) would wear bear canines in their upper ear cartilage, often connected with intricate bead work. This was considered a sign of a brave headhunter. In the Lmasala clan of the [[Samburu]] (Kenya), the mothers of warriors wear their sons' circumcision earrings in their cartilage during their warriorhood." |

| Outside of the obvious judgment impairing qualities, alcohol will thin your blood. It will make you bleed a lot more. Drinking before, the night before, or after a body modification procedure is a very poor idea. Unless you want to bleed more. Alcohol also increases your chances of getting a modification that you will regret.
| | * [[Piercing Gun]] |
| Since alcohol weakens and dehydrates the body and thins the blood—it is recommended that alcohol not be combined with suspension. Use of alcohol should be avoided for at least 24-72 hours priors to suspending. In fact, many people abstain from alcohol for as long as a week. In general, alcohol dulls and takes away from the experience of suspension.
