In which area of the ear do I get a piercing? Classic: lobe piercing

When you think of an ear piercing, the most basic that comes to mind is this. Don't ask us why, but for us the first is an earring, while we already call the second piercing. You can do as many as you want but if you start to enter the world of piercing, start with one and see how it goes.

Piercing in the tragus

Another of the most common earrings is the one that is placed on the tragus. There are two ways to pierce this area. The most common is to do it horizontally, from outside to inside the ear; or vertically, piercing the cartilage from top to bottom.

Hoops

Maybe you already have earrings at home but just in case, here is a pack of 2 pairs of hoop earrings, they never hurt!

Anti tragus piercing

Its strange name is because it is placed on the opposite side of the tragus. It is in an area of cartilage so it will hurt a little and, as we know, the total healing of this piercing will take about 6 months.

Lower Helix Piercing

As you can see in the image, this piercing is placed in the helix under the ear, almost touching the lobe. We love the detail of the gold leaf, we want to copy the look right now! Depending on the height you choose, we will be talking about a low, medium or high helix.

Feathers

Inspired by the previous look, we propose these earrings with an elegant hanging feather.

High Helix Piercing

A piercing in the high helix seems to us, super beautiful, sophisticated and discreet in equal parts. Also, don't you think this crown is the best?

Combine your piercings

And since when you start, you will not be able to stop, here are some minimalist ideas. Three little balls combined with two golden rings on the helix, straight to our Instagram!

The minimal expression

If you want to recreate the previous look, you need these mini earrings.

Pearl

Look how beautiful a more formal earring is combined with 4 golden rings. This is true love.

Bet on geometry

The style of wearing different earrings on the lobe increases even more if you choose geometric figures such as circles, triangles, rectangles …

Rook Piercing

This piercing, you can also call it Tower, is placed in the inner cartilage area of the ear. Although we do not carry it, according to what we are told it is quite painful and takes up to 9 months to heal.

Anti helix piercing

The antihelix piercing is located –obviously–, on the opposite side to the helix, in the part of the cartilage. Disengage yourself: it will hurt. We think it's a great idea to do several at once, so at least it will hurt only once. If you opt for a few little glitters, each one size, you will look very modern.

Outer Shell Piercing

The shell piercing is placed in the smooth area of the ear. In this photo we also see a small ball in the anti-helix and the anti-tragus. Beautiful!

Piercing "sticky"

If you like how this type of piercing looks but you don't dare or don't feel like it at the moment, try an ear cuff like this one. It gives a lot of trouble and you can take as many as you want.

Internal Helix Piercing

Very similar to the previous one but in this case there is also a piercing in the internal helix. It is below the anti-helix, on the edge of the ear. If you have small ears, it is not recommended to do so.

Mix them all

If you dare, rock it with all the piercings you have for a result as spectacular as this one.

The most modern

Put them in the area of the ear that you want because with them you will mark style wherever you go.

Industrial piercing

Without a doubt, this is the most striking piercing of all. To carry it you have to make two holes in the cartilage and it is attached with a bar. If it is horizontal, join a helix piercing with an anti-helix –it is the case in this photo–, or vertical, which would be to join the helix with the shell.

And if all else fails …

You may have come this far looking for inspiration but for one reason or another you are not going to get any piercing at the moment but you want to wear something cool in your ears, here is the solution. A super ear cuff with rhinestone details. Ok, it's not for every day but when you put it on you will cause a sensation.
