Its structural look makes it a popular choice for those seeking something more striking and unique. * * * ## Key Characteristics - **Two Piercings, One Jewellery Piece** – A straight barbell connects two distinct piercings. - **Common Placement** – Usually runs across the upper ear, linking the forward helix and helix. - **Jewellery** – A straight barbell is the standard and defining jewellery style. - **Regional Naming** – Known as “scaffold piercing” in the UK and Ireland, and “industrial piercing” in North America. * * * ## Why It's Called a Scaffold Piercing The name comes from its resemblance to a scaffold or framework, as the single barbell visually connects two separate points on the ear. ## Considerations - **Anatomy** – Not all ears are suited to scaffold piercings. A piercer will assess your anatomy to ensure the correct placement and barbell size. - **Healing Time** – Typically **12 weeks**, as two cartilage piercings need to heal simultaneously. - **Aftercare** – Clean diligently with saline solution, avoid sleeping on the pierced ear, and be careful to prevent snagging on hair or clothing. * * * ## Why Choose a Scaffold Piercing? A scaffold piercing is a standout choice for those looking for an edgier style. Its bold, architectural look makes it a statement piece within a curated ear. With proper aftercare and patience, it’s a rewarding piercing that can last for years. * * * Book your scaffold piercing at Face Facts in Buxton for safe, professional placement and expert aftercare support.
