Get Inspired for Your Next Piercing.
Are you considering getting a new ear piercing but feeling overwhelmed by the choices? Worry not! We’ve compiled the ultimate guide to ear piercing styles to help you find the perfect one. Whether you fancy something subtle or a bit more daring, this list has got you covered.
Lobe Piercing
Let’s start with the classic: the lobe piercing, often the first choice for many enthusiasts. It’s simple, elegant, and incredibly versatile with various jewellery options such as studs, hoops, and even dangles. The pain level is relatively low, with a quick pinch and a momentary sting. Healing generally takes about 6-8 weeks. Remember to clean your piercing with a saline solution and use hypoallergenic materials for jewellery, such as surgical steel or titanium, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Helix Piercing
Located on the upper cartilage of the ear, helix piercings offer a chic and edgy look. This piercing style is versatile, with options for hoops, studs, and barbells. However, patience is required as it takes about 6-12 months to heal.
Tragus Piercing
The tragus piercing, located on the small piece of cartilage that covers your ear canal, is an elegant but understated choice. Healing can range from 3 to 9 months, and it’s vital to maintain good aftercare practices to avoid infections.
Daith Piercing
For those seeking unique style and potential health benefits, the daith piercing might be the one for you. Rumoured to alleviate migraines, this piercing is located in the innermost fold of your ear and takes 6-9 months to heal.
Rook Piercing
Above the daith on the antihelix is the rook piercing, perfect for a touch of uniqueness. The healing time is about 9-12 months, and this distinct location can complement other piercings like the helix or tragus.
Industrial Piercing
An industrial piercing makes a bold statement by connecting two separate piercings with a single straight barbell along the upper cartilage. It requires a 6-12 month healing period.
Conch Piercing
The conch piercing, nestled in the middle cartilage, offers versatility in jewellery choices from subtle studs to bold hoops, with healing times varying from 3-9 months.
Orbital Piercing
An orbital piercing comprises two holes connected by a single piece of jewellery, usually a hoop. The healing process lasts from 6 to 12 months, and it makes a bold fashion statement.
Top Aftercare Tips
- Clean with a saline solution twice daily.
- Avoid touching piercings with unwashed hands.
- Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet to aid healing.
Choosing the Right Studio
When getting an ear piercing, prioritising safety and professionalism is crucial. Look for studios with high ratings, good hygiene practices, and certified staff.
