Faux Rook Piercing Kraków – an alternative to the classic rook | Nemearis

The Faux Rook is a piercing located at the top of the ear, on the border between the helix and the anatomical rook. Although at first glance it resembles a classic rook piercing , it is placed more superficially, allowing for faster healing and greater flexibility in jewelry selection. At Nemearis Piercing & Jewellery, we perform Faux Rooks precisely and safely, taking into account your anatomy.

What does a Faux Rook look like?

The piercing is performed on the bend of the ear cartilage—a spot that visually imitates a rook, but technically doesn't pass through the inner folds. This makes it more comfortable to wear and less problematic during healing.

Who is Faux Rook for?

It's a great alternative for those who don't have the right anatomy for a classic rook but still dream of a similar effect. Faux rooks create a very aesthetic, subtle effect that pairs perfectly with helix , flat, or full ear styling .

What jewelry goes with Faux Rook?

The most common piercings are arc-shaped or delicate hoops (curved barbells, segments). Our collection of cartilage earrings offers jewelry that beautifully accentuates this piercing—from minimalist designs to crystal-embellished pieces.

Faux Rook Healing and Care

Faux Rook typically takes 3-4 months to heal, making it more comfortable than traditional internal piercings. Regular saline rinsing and avoiding pressure—especially while sleeping—are all that's needed. Our team will ensure the entire process is safe and predictable for you.
