So You Want to Get Piercings in 2019?

Ready to get on board the ear piercing express?

 

 

Piercings have the transformative ability to overhaul oneā€™s style.

 

In late 2017, I got a helix piercing and followed it up with an inner conch and upper lobe a few months laterā€”all on my left ear. Since then, although Iā€™ve been dressing the same and am still lazy as ever with necklaces and rings, Iā€™ve felt like my personal style has been revamped. Itā€™s partially due to my ego, but I feel like I become ten times cooler when my hair is pulled back and my left ear is exposed and proudly bearing its four strategically placed piercings to the world.

 

If you're ready to commit to the life of the pierced but aren't quite sure where to start, let us do the honors of helping you get started. Up ahead, we've identified some of the coolest, most attractive-looking ear piercing trends. Go on, scroll away.Ā

If youā€™ve got wide lobe spaceā€¦

Consider piling up piercings along the side of your ear. But donā€™t stop at your run-of-the-mill lobe piercingsā€”stack them in pairs or cluster them in threes!

If youā€™ve got a defined helixā€¦

Embellish the flat plane of the forward helix or opt for hoops and geometric earrings to frame the top of the ear.

If youā€™re working with a lot of flat groundā€¦

Then a flat piercing (or three) might be your match. Beyond decorating the area between the helix and antihelix, piercings like these are ideal for the types who forget to put their earrings on before leaving home or take them off before bed.
