You can\u2019t get an industrial piercing if you have a flat, undefined inner ear cartilage. This is because there\u2019s no tissue to hold one of the two piercings required for an industrial piercing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, if your inner cartilage protrudes to the point where it may touch the barbell, you can’t get the traditional industrial piercing. An industrial piercing on unsupportive anatomy typically leads to migration or scarring, so visit a professional and experienced piercer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A floating industrial piercing is the best alternative to an industrial piercing. It involves two flat piercings and a customized barbell. The significant difference is that the piercing goes through the ear from the front to back and, as a result, gives the look of a floating bar. The piercing looks different based on the individual\u2019s ear structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
