PIERCING TRENDS
Ear Piercings
There are several different types of ear piercings that you can consider. Here are some popular ones:
Standard Lobe Piercing: This is the most common type of ear piercing, where the earlobe is pierced. It can be done with a standard stud or hoop.
Helix Piercing: This piercing is done on the upper cartilage of the ear. It can be placed anywhere along the outer rim of the ear.
Tragus Piercing: This piercing is done on the small, thick cartilage flap that covers the ear canal. It is located just above the earlobe.
Daith Piercing: This piercing is done on the innermost cartilage fold of the ear, just above the ear canal.
Rook Piercing: It is done on the antihelix, which is the ridge of cartilage above the tragus and just below the helix.
Conch Piercing: This piercing can be done on the inner or outer part of the ear's cartilage. It is located in the middle of the ear, parallel to the helix.
Industrial Piercing: This involves connecting two piercings with a single straight barbell. Typically, it connects the helix and the forward helix.
Snug Piercing: This piercing is done through the inner cartilage ridge, snug against the outer rim of the ear.
Orbital Piercing: It involves two piercings connected with a single piece of jewelry. One piercing is placed on the helix, and the other on the outer edge of the earlobe.
Transverse Lobe Piercing: This piercing is done horizontally through the earlobe, rather than vertically.
Facial Piercings
