antihelixes
Inner ear curves
Antihelixes is the plural of antihelix, the curved ridge of cartilage in the outer ear that runs parallel to and inside the helix (the ear's outer rim).
The antihelix branches into two ridges near the top of the ear.

The piercer marked both antihelixes before inserting the jewelry.
