What are the types of ear piercings?

Ear piercing is one of the oldest body modifications in the world. Starting around 1500 BC, there was plenty of time to create all sorts of new types of ear piercings. From earlobe to tragus, there are many options for ear piercing. 

Ear lobe piercing

Lobe piercing is a classic version of ear piercing. In North America, 4 out of 5 people have their earlobe pierced. The earlobe is a large area and one of the safest to pierce. This is the least painful and easiest piercing to take care of. 

This is one of the few piercings that can be done at an early age, and even babies can get it done. The associated pain is immediate and less painful than a bee sting. Healing is quite fast, most people can replace the original jewelry after 6 weeks.

Lobe piercing is the first piercing for most people.

Transverse lobe piercing

A transverse lobe piercing (lower piercing in the image above) is also a painless piercing. Instead of being pierced from front to back, the piercing is done horizontally along the lobe. It only pierces the skin, not the cartilage. While earlobe piercing is common, the transverse lobe remains unique.

With transverse piercings, only the ends of the jewelry are visible, and the balls on each of them seem to float in place. They take a little longer to heal than standard earlobe piercings due to the longer hole. But in the end, they are easy to care for. 

Piercing Tour

The Data piercing is located in the innermost cartilage fold of the ear. Recently, they have become popular due to unverified claims that they can prevent or reduce the severity and frequency of migraines. Although there is no evidence that dytes cure anything, we can safely say that this is a cool and unique piercing.

The best type of jewelry for a day piercing is determined by the shape of your ear, so it's best to ask your piercer for recommendations.

Although jewelry can be removed after 8-12 weeks, it is better not to remove it for a long time. Complete healing may take 6 to 12 months.

Industrial piercing

Without a doubt, industrial piercing stands out. The piercing goes through two holes connected by a barbell, like a curtain rod that goes through the ear. Most often, it passes through the upper ear horizontally, but vertical industrial piercing is also possible.

Although industrial piercing looks intense, it does not cause pain due to the small number of nerve endings in the cartilage. Individual healing time for this piercing can vary widely, from 3 weeks to 6 months.

Tragus piercing

A tragus piercing is on the opposite end of the spectrum from a lobe piercing. Not many people have them, in fact, not everyone can get them. These are cool and unique cartilage piercings above the ear canal.

While most people can safely get a tragus piercing, check with your piercer first. If the tragus is too thin, it will not be able to support the decoration.

The healing time for this piercing can vary, with some people taking as little as 6 months, while others take up to 8 months to fully heal. It depends on your body and after proper care.

Tragus Piercing

The anti-tragus piercing is located opposite the tragus piercing. The shape of the antitragus varies from person to person, but most ears can handle this piercing. First, consult with a piercer. Some ears may even support double piercings against the tragus.

While a tragus piercing relies on having a thick enough area to pierce, a tragus piercing must have sufficient surface area. If the antitragus is too small, this piercing may not fit. 

The healing time for this piercing can vary even more than for a tragus piercing, taking anywhere from 3 months to 9+ months to fully heal.

helical piercing

The Helix piercing is a cool piercing along the upper and outer ear. They are not painful because of the spiral, which does not contain nerve endings. The helix is ​​a large area that allows for many different piercings. Multiple helix punctures are also common.

The spiral is well suited for double and triple puncture. Even the front coil can support multiple punctures. The straight helix piercing is located on a helix towards the front of the head (left piercing in the image).

The healing time for a spiral piercing is 6 to 9 months.

Rook Piercing

Rook piercings have grown in popularity over the past decade. Part of this popularity stems from claims that rook piercings can treat migraines and headaches. Like the Daith piercing, these claims are unverified. The nav piercing is located along the inner crest of the cartilage of the middle ear.

The anatomy of your ear affects the complexity of this piercing. As a general rule, the thicker the comb, the easier it is to pierce. Thin, narrow combs are a big problem.

 A rook piercing may take 8 to 12 months to fully heal.

Conch Piercing

A conch piercing is a cartilage piercing in the innermost part of the ear shell. The inner shell is higher, the outer shell is lower, retreating to the outer side of the ear. It is named for the area's resemblance to a shell.

The process and care for piercing the inner and outer shells is almost the same. The inner concha serves to direct sound into the ear canal. As a result, this piercing can cause a slight change in hearing, although most people don't notice it.

 Stretching this area is difficult, so large diameter piercings are usually done with a skin punch. This is more common with outer shell piercings and allows for a wider selection of jewelry.

neat piercing

A snug piercing is a simple, eye-catching piercing. They pierce the inner and outer ear along the antihelix. The exact placement depends on the unique shape of your ear.

They are not as common for your first piercing. This is because neat piercings are more painful than most other piercings (though still bearable) and difficult to heal.

A tight piercing can take 8 to 12 months to fully heal. Thus, it is good to have some experience in proper ear care after piercing.

Orbital piercing

An orbital piercing is a single ring that goes through two separate ear piercings. They can be placed along most of the ear, usually in the same locations as conch, helix, rook, and earlobe piercings. The linked ring creates the illusion of an orbit - a simple piercing with a standout appearance.

This ear piercing takes 8 to 12 months to fully heal, but we generally recommend that the piercing be done separately and allowed to heal before connecting it to the orbital ring.

For example, you can make two helix piercings that you are about to make with an orbital piercing. The initial jewelry for each piercing will come in two separate pieces. Once they are both healed, you will replace the jewelry with an orbital ring.

Choice of earrings

Ear piercings have some of the widest variety of jewelry options. There is no one best type of earring, but there are better options for you. These options are usually determined by your particular piercing, appearance, and personality.

 We'll take a look at some of the most popular types of earrings and the piercings they're used for.

Ear piercing rings

Rings are one of the most common ear piercings. These are round pieces that fit most piercings. Body piercing jewelry such as beaded rings and round barbells are often used for ear piercings.

A captive bead ring or ball clasp rings is a round piece of jewelry that closes the ring with a small bead. The bead is held in place by the tension of the ring, giving the appearance of a floating bead. The fixed rings of beads also create a full circle of 360 degrees.° circle.

 Circular bars, on the other hand, don't go full circle. One end has one bead permanently attached to the bead and the other end has a threaded bead. While it doesn't have the full round look of a fixed beaded ring, it is easier to put on and take off. In addition, it is less likely to lose a bead.

For ear piercing, round rods and captive bead rings are often used:

• Rook Piercing
• Helix piercing
• Forward helix piercing
• Tragus piercing
• Tragus Piercing
• Piercing Tour
• neat piercing
• Orbital piercing

Ear piercings

The barbell is a straight metal rod that goes through the ear piercing. There is a permanent bead on one end and a threaded inner bead on the other end that closes the jewelry after it is placed in the piercing.

There are externally threaded rods, but they are strongly discouraged as they can cause irritation. They are harmful and of poor quality. Instead, any high-quality jewelry uses internal threads.

 Ear piercing rods are often used to:

• Transverse lobe piercing
• Industrial piercing
• Tragus piercing
• Tragus Piercing
• Conch Piercing

Ear piercing studs

Stud earrings are decorative studs at the end of a pole that go through the ear piercings and are held in place by a muff or threaded screw at the back. This gives the stud the appearance of floating on the ear.

Stud earring styles come in a wide variety of styles. There are simple ball-ends made of titanium or gold, precious stones and diamonds. Also, stud earrings can come in different shapes for style or fun. A variety of studs is a great way to show off simple elegance or express your individuality.

 Stud earrings are commonly used for:

• lobe piercing
• Tragus piercing
• Rook Piercing
• Conch Piercing
• helical piercing

Plugs and flesh tunnels for ear piercings

Plugs and flesh tunnels are most common with large piercings. They are cylindrical in shape and go inside the piercing. The key difference between the two is that plugs are solid while flesh tunnels have a hollow center.

The fact that they are hollow makes flesh tunnels an excellent option for particularly large diameter piercings if the wearer is concerned about the weight of the plug. But, most people choose between them based on aesthetic preferences.

 The most common ear piercings for plugs and flesh tunnels are:

• lobe piercing
• Conch Piercing
