Does this piercing (the two bars through the top of the ear) have a special name that any of you know of... Or is it just a helix piercing?

I've seen it called an orbital or a helix, but make sure you show the photo to your piercer because the names vary. A forward helix is usually farther to the front, but sometimes an orbital is on the inside of the cartilage rather than on the helix flap. Like I said, it varies.
