Wearing an ear piercing is a charming and
charismatic style trait. Both girls and boys today get ear holes to
design their ornamental aesthetic. Now, it is important to be clear that
there are different types of piercings and holes that you should
know.
Although, in general, a piercing is a hole,
there are ear cuffs that do not require the presence of it, since
they are placed and adapted by pressure to your ear. Be that as it may and
you choose the type you choose, the personality and style that piercings give
you are unquestionable.
NAMES PIERCING EARS
Depending on the area or the type of piercing ,
we must differentiate different classes and, if possible, learn their
names. Next, we tell you which are the main ones.
LOBE PIERCING
It is the most frequent and common. Usually, they
are made as babies and allow you to wear earrings from, almost, your
birth. They are often known as main slopes. They usually host one
type of large full-ear earring : hoops, shaped, with
stones, long earrings , etc.
The so-called high lobe is located above the
previous one. In fact, in each lobe we can make between three and five
different holes, in different locations. They are usually decorated
with small earrings .
At the moment of truth, both alternatives accept gold
earrings and
silver earrings , as well as the option of combining with long and short
earrings to achieve visual dynamism and rhythm.
Some specialists call them upper lobe and lobe ,
although in Spanish we identify them all better. Don't you think?
HELIX AND COUNTER HELIX
They are located in the upper part of the ear . The
helix is located on the cartilage and attracts a lot of attention. This
is usually the first thing you think of when talking about piercings . They
can be worn between one and three, usually earrings, hanging miniforms, balis,
etc. There are also clip options that are easily attached, without
drilling any holes.
It is a perfect alternative to test the effect for a
season, before deciding if you really want to pierce the area.
The counterhelix or antihelix is located in the
same area, but in front, between the face and the ear. The earrings are,
here, ideal. Another variant is the forward helix, which is
located close to the temple and provides an unquestionable differential touch.
ROOK
It is a very original choice: it is placed inside
the ear and is usually very small and simple, discretion is your
ally. Taking into account where it goes, it does not allow betting on
larger sizes without being annoying.
One of the most common formulas are the two balls, which
cross the cartilage joined by a cylindrical axis and provide a very sexy and
attractive finish. We will talk about this option in more detail later.
DAITH
It is implemented in the fold of the internal
cartilage , in the central area of the auditory pinna. That is, in
the bone that is closest to the entrance to the ear. Consequently, it will
remain in a more internal position and, for that very reason, it is the least
obvious. Now, it is a lot of fun to wear a piercing in this
special location.
CONCH
This is the name given to the one that is shaped like the
sun and is placed in the center of the ear , so it never goes
unnoticed.
SNUG AND CONCH
Both are placed mid-ear . Originality is
their main feature, largely because there are not many people who dare to wear
them. The snug is located in a hard cartilage and, for this
reason, it tends to take shape in rings somewhat larger than those that we have
been commenting on.
Regarding the conch piercing , it is
specified in a piece that hugs that cartilaginous area. It is also usually
a larger hoop than usual ... and it looks very cool .
TRAGUS
It takes a lot, although you probably don't know it by
name. It is located in the small central cartilage of the ear closest
to the face , which is located just outside the ear canal.
Its greatest peculiarity is that it can be seen both from
the front and from the back, which offers great aesthetic
possibilities. Simple shapes, balls, and small rings are the most
common. If you dare to wear it, the alternatives will be many.
ANTITRAGUS
In the upper lobe , in the highest part of it
and just in front of the tragus, this cartilage is also very cute and usable to
include piercings . In this case, they usually wear beads and
earrings. It is not, of course, one of the most frequent and common, but
it is an original option that, well studied, provides a very attractive touch
of exclusivity.
SURFACE TRAGUS
It is a variety of the tragus that is located close to
the temple, practically outside the ear, at the limit where the face begins.
INDUSTRIAL
It is one of the most special and striking, because
it requires two piercings and goes completely through the upper part of
the ear . The ornaments are connected in three different ways:
transverse, vertical and orbital, depending on their location and
characteristics.
THE FASCINATING WORLD OF EAR PIERCINGS
The trend of ear holes and ornaments in it is
experiencing a real boom . The important thing, if you like it,
is that you don't get carried away by it. Always decide how you want
to beautify your ear and, in any case, have the right earrings for each
case.
