It is recommended to use sterile saline that you buy from the store, rather than homemade saline, for cleaning your ear piercings. Homemade saline may be too salty for delicate piercing sites, leading to dryness and delayed healing. 

A floating industrial piercing is a variation of a traditional industrial designed for those whose ear anatomy lacks the necessary support. Floating industrials often feature custom-made jewelry, such as an L-shaped barbell or a larger surface bar, depending on the individual's ear anatomy and the placement of the piercing.

This piercing is special because it's an easy gateway into cartilage piercings. It is typically the least painful option. Additionally, Auricle piercings are invaluable for creating piercing clusters and stacks. If you have piercings in multiple locations on your ear, the Auricle's position near the center of your ear makes it the ideal place to wear an anchor piece to pull them all together.

A Vertical Helix piercing is a variant of the classic Helix piercing and is a great way to express your individuality. Once healed, they can be relatively easy to care for and are less painful than other piercing options.
