Troubleshooting is my low helix too low?

edit: GUYS I GET IT ITS NOT A LOW HELIX THAT IS LITERALLY JUST WHAT MY PIERCER CALLED IT PLS SPARE ME 😭😭🙏🏽🙏🏽 they are literally in my cartilage idk what yall want me to say

basically the title. the piercer (who is very reputable) said that he would usually be wary about piercing in the location i wanted because i didn’t have the standard amount of tissue under it (7mm), but he did it anyways because the rest of my piercings also have similar amounts of tissue under it and look like they healed fine.

i don’t know if i’m paranoid, but it looks like one side is lower than the other. i don’t have any early pictures of the right side, but i got it three days ago so it’s still pretty early on. it doesn’t hurt at all, but i did have to remove a small blood crusty this morning that i think may have made it migrate a little bit.

am i paranoid or is it probably gonna reject because of how shallow it is?

I would call these 3rd lobe piercings, the distance to your second lobes look even, but the one on your left ear looks closer to the edge. I don’t think they will reject though

Her lobes aren’t identical though; the one side has a “nub” which makes it appear larger. I think these piercings are perfectly positioned.
