  Industrial piercing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Two piercings are made, one fairly close to the head (anti-helix piercing), the second further down the cartilage, on the opposite side of the ear (helix piercing).
A straight barbell piece of body piercing jewelry is inserted through the first piercing from behind the ear, travels diagonally across the front of the upper cartilage, then goes through the second piercing, and is secured with a screw-on bead behind the second hole.
The piercings themselves are made with a medium gauge hollow piercing needle (usually 14g or 12g), and the barbell jewelry is worn during the healing period.
