EARLOBE Piercing through the earlobe

This may be the most common piercing on the planet. Easily done, easy to care for, easy to stretch, and accepted socially.

HELIX A piercing through your outer ear cartilage rim

Usually done with a ring, however other jewelry can be used. Most commonly found in gauge 18 through 12.
INNER HELIX A piercing through your ear cartilage rim

This piercing is on the inside, or front of the upper rim of cartilage.

UPPER OR OUTTER CONCH Piercing through the outer shell of your ear
The outer conch is up high through the outer shell.

LOWER OR INNER CONCH Piercing through the inner shell of your ear
The inner conch is lower, through the inside shell.

TRAGUS Piercing through the "little nub part"

The “nub” of cartilage right in front of the ear canal is called the tragus. Most commonly you will see a ring as jewelry.

VERTICAL TRAGUS Vertical piercing through the tragus
Using a small barbell. Usually curved, the tragus can be pierced vertically. Not very common, it may migrate.

ROOK Anti-Helix Piercing

This piercing passes through the upper inner fold of cartilage. Usually done with a CBR in 18 and 16 gauges.

DAITH Piercing through inner conch ridge of cartilage
Most popular with a small diameter CBR, this piercing goes through the most innermost cartilage ridge on the ear. Usually directly below the rook, above and inside the tragus.

SNUG or BABCOCK Inner cartilage helix fold
	This piercing passes through the vertical ridge of cartilage that ‘outlines’, but doesn't go to the edge the ear. A pretty difficult piercing to heal. You should use jewelry that fits the channel created naturally. Straight or mildly curved barbells are usually most comfortable.

INDUSTRIALS 2 or more piercings connected by one barbell

A piercing in which a single barbell passes through two piercings. Most common, two helix piercings, however, other industrials are possible and have been successful in other parts of the body.

ANTI-TRAGUS (photos pending) Piercing through cartilage rim above lobe
Rings and short barbells are most commonly used. The piercing passes through the cartilage just above the earlobe (across from the tragus).

TRANSVERSE LOBE (photos pending) Piercing through the length of the earlobe
This piercing is basically just an earlobe piecing turned ninety degrees. Instead of going across, it goes along with the earlobe. Curved or straight barbells depending on your lobe.

VERTICAL LOBE (photos pending) Piercing through the length of the earlobe
This piecing passes through from the bottom of the lobe, to inside the conch or on top of the anti-tragus, vertically.

ORBITAL 2 Piercings connected by one ring
Similar to industrials, but two piercings are connected by a single CBR. Separate jewelry should be used for best healing.

NOSTRIL Piercing trough the nostril

Usually done through rings or screws 18 and 16 gauge. This has to be the most popular piercing globally, aside from the ear lobes.

SEPTUM The "BULLRING" piercing
This piercing passes through the navel septum, or middle of the nose. Circular barbells and CBR’s are most common; however, this piercing can be hidden easily using a retainer as jewelry.

LIP Piercing through either the upper or lower lip

LABRET Piercing under the bottom lip

NAVEL Piercing through the rim of the navel


The piercing can be done anywhere there is a defined lip but usually centered above the navel. CBR’s or barbells should be proper size to fit your specific navel. This piercing is one of the more common, however without proper care it may be surprisingly hard to heal.

NIPPLE Piercing through the base of the nipple


Most common in a 14 gauge or 12 gauge in almost any choice of jewelry. If a ring is used, it must be of a big enough diameter to not force rejection or migration, and should be horizontal. Barbells however may be horizontal, vertical, angled or however you like.

AREOLA Piercing behind areola
For less common than the regular nipple piercing. Using a long enough straight barbell, you can pierce behind the whole areola.
