Types of piercing to show off earlook very top
All ears are different are different and unique. Although the anatomy is similar, they have characteristics that set them apart. Still, you know you can go the extra mile and give them your own style.
Thanks to the piercings you can create different designs, depending on your personality or the day. The point is that your ears reflect who you are and what your style is.
Also remember that if you don't want to drill you don't have to give up creating fantastic earlooks, but then I recommend you to read this post: Earcuffs, a classic adapted.
And now, shall we go over the types of piercing? Maybe it will give you some new ideas and when you finish reading, you'll get one more hole in your ears!
1. Lobe and upper lobe
These are the piercings most common, especially because the lobe earring is the one they used to put on us when we were babies, so many of us have it by default. so many of us have it by default.
The earlobe is the lower, fleshy the lower, fleshy, rounded part of the ear.. Some people have it attached to the face and others have it separate. It doesn't really matter, it's just a genetic peculiarity (have you noticed how your parents' ears look like?).
In the lobe we usually wear the largest earrings, and it is also where we like symmetry the most. where we like symmetry the most: it is quite common to wear two identical earrings on both lobes.
Although there are really no rules. You can wear different earrings as long as the overall composition is balanced and ... you like it! which after all is the most important thing.
The part known as the upper lobe is located just above the lobe, and is also fleshy. In this area you can make several holes in it, there is enough space.
2. Helix and counterhelix
The helix is the edge of the ear, the outer cartilage that runs along the side and reaches the top, where we speak of the contrahelix. It is an area with few nerves, so piercing it is somewhat annoying, but it does not hurt too much. it does not hurt too much.
The best part? Because it borders the entire ear, it's a wide area that can be that admits many piercings. How many are recommended? There is no number, as many as you can without damaging the structure of the pinna.
However, to give you a hint, three is a reasonable number.
The contrahelix also admits piercingsso consider completing your earlook perhaps with some small earrings in that area.
3. Antihélix, rook y daith piercing
Let's go into detail and distinguish more parts of the ear:
- Antihelix or forward helix: Refers to the part of the cartilage that is already located on the inner side of the ear and attached to the face. It should be pierced professionally, as it is a difficult is a difficult area to access.
- Internal helix or daith piercing: another difficult piercing, in the central part of the ear, but very original and very very original and with many aesthetic possibilities if you can do it with guarantees.
- Rook or tower: In the inner cartilage of the ear, located at the top of the ear. Drilling in this area is more painful, as the cartilage is thicker.
As a curiosity, I will tell you that it is said that the daith works very well against migraine headaches, because it pierces the same place that traditional acupuncture is used to treat used to treat that ailment.
Is it true? It's not proven, and you certainly can't take it as a therapeutic solution. If you have a problem with your headaches, you should always go to the doctor.
4. Tragus and antitragus
We are already going to the part of the cartilage that is attached to the face and gives entrance to the ear. The tragus piercing is one of the most demanded.
Just opposite, also marking the entrance to the ear, is the antitragus. If you can do both, it will look great with small earrings and simple earrings and earrings with simple shapes will look great.
There are more areas in the ear that can be pierced (you didn't think your ears had so many possibilities! your ears had so many possibilities!).
If we go to the inside, in the part of the flat (flat), located under the helix and on the upper part of the ear, you can place piercings. There is also the conchon the upper part of the antitragus...
I would like you to keep in mind that, since all ears are different, some ears may not have certain certain piercings cannot be piercings, because there is no angle to pierce safely.
It's okay, there are many possibilities anyway, and you always have to make sure that your ears are healthy (the most important thing). that your ears are healthy (the most important thing) and with a design of piercings balanced.
