Helix piercing

Hi all I'm seriously thinking of getting the top of my ear pieced think it's called the Helix but I have very small ears and just worried it may look silly?
Does anyone else with small ears have one and can show me a picture please?.

The best thing to do is talk to a piercer and get them to check if you’ve got the right anatomy for the piercing. Some people’s ears just aren’t the right shape.

There are different helix piercings so it’s depends on which you mean. I’ve got a forward helix which is a pain to heal.

That looks lovely, I've still not had it done but I did get my nose repicerd the other week and I asked the lady doing that if my ears were OK and she said she couldn't see it being a problem so now I have to bite the bullet and do it 😆

Forward Helix here too its about 17 months down the road now and I'm not ready to change it . Can be tender at times but settled ok.

My tragus ( done in Feb this year ) is still a work in progress but early days still.

Daith is well over 2 years and I had the hoop downsized in May .
.
I am thinking about another piercing but I'd need to be able to keep pressure off it
