Ear placements

​

​Lobe Piercing:

The most common type of ear piercing, involving the lower fleshy part of the earlobe. It's the simplest and least painful, often serving as an introductory piercing.

​

Upper Lobe Piercing:

Located above the standard lobe piercing, this allows for the stacking of multiple earrings and offers additional aesthetic options.

​

Helix Piercing:

Situated along the upper cartilage of the outer ear, the helix piercing provides a modern look and can accommodate various types of jewellery.

​

Forward Helix Piercing:

Positioned at the front of the upper cartilage, near the face, this piercing is relatively more complex and may require more healing time.

​

Industrial Piercing:

Consists of two piercings along the upper cartilage, connected by a single straight piece of jewelry. It offers a bold and unique aesthetic.

​

Conch Piercing: Located in the large, central cartilaginous area of the ear, the conch piercing can be styled with both stud and hoop jewellery.

​

​Tragus Piercing:

Situated on the small piece of cartilage directly in front of the ear canal, this piercing is popular for its edgy look.

 

Anti-Tragus Piercing:

Positioned opposite the tragus, this piercing is less common due to the size and suitability of the anti-tragus area.
