Forward Pinna

The beginning of the fold at the top of the ear adjacent to the head is referred to as the Forward Pinna or the Forward Helix. The Forward Pinna is generally narrow as it is near the head. So, micro jewelry, that is jewelry having a gauge of 14 ga - 16 ga (1 mm to 1.2 mm), is generally considered ideal. Ball Closure Rings having a length of 6 mm, curved barbells, labrets or straight barbells having a length of 6 mm are considered suitable.

A Forward Pinna piercing takes about 8 - 16 weeks to heal completely.
