Amsterdam · Piercings Works
If you have been turning your head in every shop window wondering whether a hoop up there would suit you: yes. That is a helix, and it is very good at this.
A helix piercing sits in the upper ear cartilage. At Piercings Works on Reguliersbreestraat 46 it is one of the placements we do most often. The photographs below were taken in our studio, on real people, with the current price written on the picture and again in the caption. The number you see is the number at the desk.
Reguliersbreestraat 46, near Rembrandtplein, in the heart of Amsterdam.

The studio
A helix has a habit of catching the light when you turn your head, and then you start thinking about walking into the shop. Piercings Works was founded in 1998 by Ira and Mensur Lutvica, and the studio has been in the shop at Reguliersbreestraat 46 in Amsterdam since 2004.
Come in for that upper-ear hoop and you meet the same people at the heart of the place, still happy to take their time with you. Ira and Mensur have trained 100+ piercers here. We are open daily from 10:30-22:00, including Sundays and holidays. Walk in when the window looks inviting, or book at piercingzetten.com if this already feels like your helix day.
