Ear-Piercing
Ouch! A guide to ear-piercing By Louise Addison
SAFFORD’S COACHES 2021 DAY EXCURSIONS
Vertical lobe - If you have space for two earrings on your lobe, you could try a vertical lobe piercing, where two studs are stacked on top of each other. Upper lobe - This position, where the main lobe narrows into the outer curve, is ideal for small, intricate piercings. Helix - A helix piercing typically sits at the top of your ear cartilage. There’s plenty of room in this area, so double and triple helix piercings are quite common. Forward Helix - A forward helix sits on the inner and top half of your ear cartilage, a couple of inches in and down from the temple. It can be a single stud or ring, as well as a series of piercings. Conch - A conch piercing refers to the middle section of the ear. An inner conch is when a stud is punctured right through the middle, and nestles in the inner curve, and an outer conch is where a hoop will start in the middle but hugs the outer edge of your ear. This is a little more painful than the other piercings mentioned so far. Industrial / Scaffold - An industrial piercing requires two holes, both in the outer cartilage. They’re usually punctured diagonally opposite each other (but the angle is up to you) and linked together with a barbell. This is a little more painful again. Daith - A daith piercing sits through the most inner part of the ear’s cartilage. Some people find this piercing offers them relief from severe migraines. Rook - Just above the daith sits a ridge, which is referred to as a rook. Tragus and Anti-tragus - Sitting just above the ear canal, is the tragus and opposite sits the anti-tragus. Both are usually only big enough for one piercing. Snug - Sitting slightly above the anti-tragus is a piercing spot called the ‘snug’. Possibly because of how snugly a small hoop hugs it.
