The ear is versatile when it comes to piercings, each with a different position and healing timeline - all types are covered by the unel Piercing Pillow for a restful sleep. Ear Piercing Positions

When it comes to ear piercing, there are various positions you can choose from to achieve your desired look. Each position offers a unique style and can enhance your overall appearance.

1. Lobe Piercing: This is the most common and traditional ear piercing position. It is done on the earlobe, which is the soft, fleshy part of the ear. The standard lobe piercing is versatile and can accommodate various types of earrings.

2. Helix Piercing: The helix is the outer rim of the ear. Helix piercing involves piercing the upper part of the ear cartilage. This position allows for multiple piercings, creating a stylish and edgy look. You can adorn your helix piercings with hoops, studs, or even ear cuffs.

3. Tragus Piercing: The tragus is the small, triangular cartilage located in front of the ear canal. Tragus piercing involves piercing this area, creating a unique and trendy look. It is often adorned with small studs or rings.

4. Conch Piercing: The conch is the inner cartilage of the ear, specifically the area in the middle. Conch piercing can be done on the inner or outer conch. This position allows for larger earrings and can be a statement piece.

5. Daith Piercing: The daith is the innermost cartilage fold of the ear, located above the ear canal. Daith piercing has gained popularity in recent years due to its unique placement. It can be adorned with small hoops or rings.

6. Rook Piercing: The rook is the inner ridge of cartilage located above the tragus. Rook piercing involves piercing this area, creating a stylish and intricate look. It is often adorned with curved barbells or captive bead rings.
