How much is it?

Ear piercing types

  1. Anti-tragus:  Similar to the tragus, it will be done on the outer side of the ear, the opposite of the ear’s tragus.
  2. Auricle:  This piercing is pierced through the middle part of the outer rim of the ear.
  3. Conch:  A conch piercing will puncture through the cartilage, and there are two types available:  the inner and outer.
  4. Daith:  Done on the innermost cartilage fold, this piercing will pass through the ear’s cartilage, similar to the tragus piercing, but the position will be different.
  5. Double lobe piercing:  As the name states, this is a double piercing in the earlobe.  One piercing will be placed in the standard area, while the other will be placed a pinch higher.  With this piercing, some opt to include a stud or ring.
  6. Forward Helix:  Similar to the helix, this will be positioned near the upper part of the ear, but it will be in the inner part of the ear.
  7. Graduate Lobe:  This is a combination of three piercings which gradually go up the lower lobe of the ear.
  8. Helix:  This piercing will be done at the upper and outer part of the ear.
  9. Industrial:  A variation of the two helix piercings, this is done by placing two holes in the upper and in the inner and outer part of the ear.
  10. Rook:  This unique piercing is done by perforating a hole on the upper inner part of the ear.
  11. Snug:  A snug piercing is in the inner ear, adjacent to a helix piercing.  It may also be referred to as an anti-helix.
  12. Standard lobe piercing:  This is the most original piercing.  The earlobe will be the softest part of the ear and will cause the least amount of pain.
  13. Tragus:  The term “tragus” comes from the tragus of the ear, which is the smaller flap of cartilage over the earlobe.
  14. Transverse:  This is done by piercing horizontally at an angle rather than directly into the ear.
