Hello! So far I have only four regular piercings and all of them are on my lobes (2 on each side). I got them after much persuading, since my mother was very reluctant to let me get my ears pierced at all.

I'm quite seriously considering getting a helix piercing. I'm currently studying in Australia right now, and I checked out the price for a helix piercing, which is AUD 55 (roughly RM 160). Is that price alright? Because if it's significantly cheaper in Malaysia, I might only do the piercing when I go back for the holidays.

Also, I was hoping someone could advice me on whether I should get the piercing during the school semester. I worry that if I get the piercing now, the pain and the bother of taking care of the piercing will cause me to be distracted or anything. What are the chances of a helix piercing migrating or getting infected? How long will it take for the worst part of the healing process to be over?
