A helix piercing<\/a> looks good, but two will steal the show. It\u2019s suitable for large and small ears and compatible with most ear structures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This cartilage piercing<\/a> is typically more painful than a lobe piercing but your piercer may be able to find the part of your helix with the thinnest cartilage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Take Note: This piercing can take up to six months to heal. You can only interchange it with a stud or hoops after your piercing heals. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An orbital piercing connects two piercings with a ring. Typically, the two piercings should be measured and made simultaneously, but it can be an afterthought in rare cases. An orbital is usually mistaken for a conch piercing with a ring, but they are different. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forward helix piercing<\/h4>\n\n\n

A forward helix piercing is a variation of the helix piercing. It is located at the upper cartilage close to your face, above the tragus. The piercing can take up to six months to heal or longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Keep in Mind: If you have long hair, you may have to keep your hair tied up during the healing process, so it does not snag on your starter stud and irritate your piercing. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Flat and helix piercing<\/h4>\n\n\n

A flat piercing is located at the flat area of skin in the upper part of your ear. It is a cartilage piercing and will hurt like any other cartilage piercing. It will usually have a stud, but you can be creative with your choice of a stud. Combining a flat and helix piercing is a good way to populate the upper part of your ear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zoe Kravitz makes a fashion statement with her ear piercings, and it\u2019s always a good look. She keeps it simple and cute on her left ear with multiple lobe piercings, a conch, a helix, and a tragus piercing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lobe piercings heal quickly, but tragus, conch, and helix piercings are all cartilage piercings and can take six to nine months to heal. It\u2019s always a good idea to start your piercings with a stud and switch to a hoop once it\u2019s completely healed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A daith piercing<\/a> is located on the innermost fold of the ear. Some people believe it can help treat migraines and anxiety because it is an acupuncture point, although there is no supporting scientific evidence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is one of the most painful cartilage piercings because it is done on a thick layer of cartilage. Daith piercings are often confused with rook piercings<\/a> but are different. A daith and flat piercing with similar-looking jewelry is a cute look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Warning: You cannot wear earbuds with a fresh daith piercing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ear piercing combination ideas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The multiple lobe, conch, and flat piercing give you a crowded lower ear look. This combination makes the flat piercing the star of the show. You can wear a piece of unique jewelry like a charm stud or a gemstone stud. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Surface tragus and ear plug piercing <\/h4>\n\n\n
\n
\"surface<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Source<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A surface tragus piercing is a vertical piercing that goes through the soft skin in front of the tragus. It ends up looking like a double piercing. It should be done with a staple bar and not a curved barbell else, it\u2019s likely to reject. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An ear plug comes from stretching a pierced hole in your lobe over time. It is a good piercing choice for creating an edgy look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Warning: Like other surface piercings, the surface tragus piercing is likely to reject after some time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Forward helix and flat piercing <\/h4>\n\n\n
\n
\"Forward<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

A forward helix and flat piercing combination is a good way to fill your upper ear. However, you can only wear studs on the flat, but a hoop can fit into the forward helix piercing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Stacked lobe and inner conch piercing <\/h4>\n\n\n
\n
\"Stacked<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

A stacked lobe and inner conch piercing is a classic combination. Since there are many holes to fill, it might be difficult to choose jewelry, but standard practice is to put the largest hoop in the standard lobe and then play around with studs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Tragus and conch piercing <\/h4>\n\n\n
\n
\"Tragus<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

A tragus and conch piercing complement each other well. However, they are both cartilage piercings and will take a long time to heal. Therefore, we don\u2019t recommend getting both piercings at the same time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Crossed industrial, daith, and conch piercing <\/h4>\n\n\n
\n
\"crossed<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

An industrial piercing<\/a> is made up of two piercings connected by a straight barbell. In the case of a double barbell, it involves four piercings. It is one of the most painful ear piercings and can take up to nine months to heal. Therefore, it is not advisable to get both piercings done at the same time.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not everyone can get an industrial piercing because it requires particular ear anatomy, but you can always check with your piercer. This also applies to the daith piercing, but most people can get a conch piercing. The combination of these three piercings is the ultimate cool look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
