At Thirdeye Studio, we offer a variety of ear piercings that allow you to express your personality and enhance your style. In this blog post, we'll take a closer look at the different types of ear piercings we offer, their healing processes, and some styling tips to help you make the most of your new look.

Types of Ear Piercings

Classic Lobe Piercing

The classic lobe piercing is the most common and traditional ear piercing. It pierces the lower lobe of the ear, is easy to care for, and heals relatively quickly.

Placement: Lower part of the earlobe.
Healing time: 6-8 weeks.
Styling tips: Ideal for simple studs, hoop earrings, or stacking with other piercings.
Why it’s popular: Safe, versatile, and timeless.

Helix Piercing

The helix piercing is a stylish option located on the upper cartilage of the ear. It's a great way to add a unique flair to your ear piercing collection.

Placement: Top part of the outer ear cartilage.
Healing time: 6-12 months.
Styling tips: Great with studs, small hoops, or cuffs. You can create a curated ear by combining multiple helix piercings.
Why it’s popular: Gives a cool, edgy vibe while being a bit more unique than standard lobe piercings.

Tragus Piercing

The tragus piercing is placed on the small, rounded cartilage just in front of the ear canal. It's an eye-catching option that adds a touch of boldness.

Placement: Small cartilage bump just in front of the ear canal.
Healing time: 3-6 months.
Styling tips: Ideal for small studs, barbells, or rings. It can also pair well with a conch or helix piercing.
Why it’s popular: Unique and edgy while still very chic.

Conch Piercing

The conch piercing is one of the more dramatic ear piercings, as it's placed in the inner or outer part of the ear's cartilage.

Placement: Center of the ear, either in the inner or outer cartilage.
Healing time: 6-12 months.
Styling tips: Perfect for large hoops, simple studs, or chain earrings that create a connected look.
Why it’s popular: Bold and stylish; a conch piercing makes a statement.

Rook Piercing

The rook piercing is placed in the upper ear's cartilage, just above the tragus. It’s less common but adds a chic, avant-garde vibe.

Placement: The fold of cartilage above the tragus.
Healing time: 6-12 months.
Styling tips: Best with curved barbells, hoops, or studs.
Why it’s popular: Stylish and unique, perfect for those looking for something less mainstream.

Anti-Tragus Piercing

This piercing is located on the small cartilage bump opposite the tragus, just above the earlobe.

Placement: Just above the lobe, on the small cartilage bump.
Healing time: 3-6 months.
Styling tips: Great for small hoops or studs. It can pair nicely with a tragus or helix piercing.
Why it’s popular: Unique and fresh, without being overly common.

Healing and Aftercare

It’s important to properly care for your new piercings to ensure successful healing. Here are some tips:

Keep it Clean: Clean your piercings regularly with saline solution or a recommended aftercare solution.
Avoid Touching: Try not to touch your piercings, especially with dirty hands.
Avoid Swimming: Stay out of pools, hot tubs, or natural bodies of water during the initial healing process.
Follow Piercer's Advice: Always follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by your piercer.
