The Ear

There are several places on the ear where piercing is regularly carried out...

Ear Lobe

The ear lobe is the most common and most widely accepted piercing performed today. There is no exact location or requirement for this piercing, it's simply a case of personal preference as to where the piercing is situated. Piercing can consist of a single ear lobe piercing or can be pierced in multiples that are evenly spaced apart.

Ear Cartilage

The possibilities for this type of piercing are almost endless. Other than the lobe, the rest of the ear is cartilage. This makes the piercing placement endless which also makes this a popular location for piercing. Some cartilage piercing consist of the rook, diath, snug, scaffold industrial and conch.

Tragus

The tragus is the small prominence that is in the front part of the ear canal. Piercing placement is directly in the centre of the natural fold where the tragus attaches to the side of the face.
