What are the most popular piercing names?

Most people unfamiliar with the world of body jewelry don't know that every piercing has a name. While general terms such as "nose piercing" or "ear piercing" describe the overall procedure, it can be much more specific than when referring to individual piercings.

Getting to know the names of the piercings will help you choose the style you want. You don't need to know all the names of every type of piercing. However, knowing what you would like to do will ensure that you do not make mistakes when looking for a piercing location or shopping online.

What are the different names for ear piercings?

Piercing isn't just for the earlobes. As with the nose and lips, multiple ear piercings should make a statement. The most common ear piercings include:

Industrial piercing:

This part goes through the ear and has only two holes - one at each end. Industrial piercings require double care, so always make sure to properly clean and sterilize your ears.

Rook Piercing:

New to the piercing style, the rook piercing goes through the antihelix of your ear. You can show them off with hoops or rings.

Conch Piercing:

Even though it takes time to heal, this piercing is becoming more and more popular. The decoration adorns the inner or outer part of the auricle.

Helix piercing:

This piercing marks the outer cartilaginous ridge of the upper ear. You can get one rivet or hoop, or choose more than one for dramatic effect.

Ear piercing is considered a popular procedure for both men and women. They have cultural, religious and aesthetic significance for people all over the world.

According to people who have experienced it, the most painful piercings are those that are done on the genitals of both men and women.

The second most painful place for a puncture is the nipple, and the third is the piercing of the nasal septum. Keep in mind that you will experience the most pain in the first few days after any piercing.
