Types of piercing to show off some earlook very top
All ears They are different and unique. Although the anatomy is similar, they have characteristics that differentiate them. Still, you know that you can go further 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 read this post: Earcuffs, an adapted classic.
And now, shall we review the types of piercing? Probably gives you some new ideas And when you finish reading, you get another 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.
The earlobe is the lower part, fleshy and roundedSome people have it attached to their face, others have it separate. It doesn't really matter, it's just a genetic quirk (Have you noticed what your parents' ears look like?)
We usually wear the largest earrings on the lobe, and it is also where we like symmetry the most: It is quite common to wear two identical earrings in both lobes.
Although there really are no rules.You can wear different earrings as long as the overall composition is balanced and… you like it! which is, after all, the most important thing.
The part known as the upper lobe is located just above the lobe, and is also fleshy. In that area you can make several holes, 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 call the contrahelix. It's an area with few nerves, so piercing it is somewhat uncomfortable, but it doesn't hurt too much.
The best part? Since it borders the entire ear, it's a wide area that supports many perforations. How many are recommended? There is no set number, just the ones you accept. without damaging the structure of the auricle.
However, to give you a hint, three is a reasonable number.
The counterhelix also admits piercings, so consider completing your earlook maybe with some small rings in that area.
3. Antihelix, rook and 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 inside the ear and attached to the face. It must be pierced professionally, since It is a difficult to access area.
- Internal helix or daith piercing: another difficult piercing, in the central part of the ear, but 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. Pierce that area it is more painful, since the cartilage is thicker.
As a curiosity, I'm going to tell you that it is said that the daith It works very well against migraines, because It pierces the same place as traditional acupuncture used to treat that condition.
Is that 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 now move on to the part of the cartilage that is attached to the face and leads to the ear. He tragus piercing is one of the most in-demand.
Just on the opposite side, also marking the entrance to the ear, is the antitragus. If you can get both done, they'll look great. tiny hoops and earrings with simple shapes.
There are more areas in the ear that can be pierced (you didn't think so!). your ears had so many possibilities!).
If we go inland, in the part flat (flat), located under the helix and at the top of the ear, you can place piercings. There is also the conch, at the top of the antitragus…
I would like you to keep in mind that since all ears are different, in some certain things cannot be done piercings, because there is no angle to drill 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) and with a design of piercings balanced.
