What is a Constellation Ear Piercing?

What is a constellation piercing?

Constellation piercing, or "curated earrings" as it's also called, is a relatively new trend that has graced our Instagram feeds a lot lately. As you might have guessed, constellation piercings are inspired by the constellations of stars we see in the sky at night. They include a scattering of small piercings on the earlobes that mimic a collection of small twinkling stars.

This trend is the latest in cool ear piercings and looks like it's here to stay, so if you're looking for stylish ear piercings with a real, unique look, then constellation's curated ear piercings are for you.

Where to get a constellation piercing?

Constellation piercings are usually deliberately unmatched, with individual earrings in each ear. Of course, how you wear your constellation piercing is up to you, and there are many different ways you can experiment with the shape, size, and placement of the piercing. If you're in Newmarket, Ontario or nearby areas and looking for a piercing professional you can trust, stop by or call the Pierced.co team today and we'll be happy to advise you on placements and suggest inspiration for your constellation piercing.

Piercings are usually made according to the shape of your ear. Everyone's ears are different, and if you're getting multiple ear piercings, there are plenty of ways to get creative with placement. For example, some people have longer earlobes than others. If this is you, you can get three or four lower lobe piercings. However, there can also be cartilage here that can affect placement, so it's a good idea to talk to your ear piercer first about your preferred location.

How many piercings should I get done at one time?

Most ear piercings recommend only a few piercings at a time, as the more piercings you get, the higher the chance of infection. Of course, it's your choice and our team will be happy to advise.

How long does a constellation piercing heal?

The healing process of a constellation piercing is no different from a regular ear piercing. We generally recommend that you leave the original jewelry in your ears for 6-8 weeks, as removing it earlier may cause the holes to close up.

We know it can be tempting to put your own ear jewelry in early, but trust us, it's worth the wait until you can finally change your stylish ear piercings with confidence. When changing jewelry, it's also important to make sure it's hypoallergenic. This means they are safe for you. If you are unsure about the safety of your jewelry and you are in or around Newmarket, Ontario, stop by and speak with a member of the Pierced.co team who will be happy to advise you.

How to care for a constellation piercing

If you want your constellation piercing to look chic and stylish, we recommend that you take some time to care for your piercing and the environment, especially while it heals. Taking care of your piercing is easy if you follow these simple steps:

• Don't touch or play with your constellation piercing too often (we know it can be tempting!), especially if you haven't washed your hands first.
• Use natural, skin-sensitive products to gently clean the piercing, especially while it is healing. Warm saline works great when applied with a cotton swab or Q-tip.
• When wiping your piercing, use a clean paper towel. This will keep them clean
• Leave your original jewelry on your body while the piercing heals.
