Popular Ear Piercings In 2024
Conch Piercings
Conch piercings are among the “favorites” of many piercers because they’re among the easiest cartilage piercings to heal. You can use bold piercings that make a decorative statement of your overall look.
Constellation Piercings
Getting multiple piercings with a group in one region is called a constellation piercing. They’re tiny pieces placed closer than your usual spacing. They’re intentionally random and make for super interesting ear modifications.
Helix Piercings
Although there are different kinds of helix piercings, the one on the upper ear cartilage is the most common. These look great with small bars, studs, and rings. However, they take time to heal, sometimes over nine months.
Snake Bite (paired helix) Piercings
“Snakebite” piercings are common for the lower lip, but in 2024, these will also be popular for the ears. These refer to two piercings placed close enough beside each other to look like a snake bite.
Ear stretching/gauging
Ear gauging falls under the “stretching” category in the body mods world and involves deliberately expanding the ear lobe holes to accommodate eccentric jewelry pieces called plugs. People wear ear weights of varying sizes to maintain the stretched skin when they take off the plug.
Popular Nose Piercings In 2024
Nasallang (tri-nasal) Piercing
The nasallang look certainly grabs the attention of anyone who sees it because of the striking placement that involves piercing both nostrils with a single piece running through the septum.
Bridge Piercing
Bridge piercings are excellent to accentuate specific facial features and shapes. It’s a horizontal placement adorned with surface bar or curved barbell piercings that give off a subtle yet bold style.
Septum Piercings
Although the septum piercing has been popular for a while, it doesn’t seem to fade away in 2024. Known for symbolizing individuality and breaking stereotypes, this placement looks heavenly with horseshoes and clicker rings.
Double Nostril Piercing
A double nose piercing is great if you’re looking for something that screams symmetry and balance. It gives a playful yet chic look with two piercings on one side with matching studs, hoops, or gemstones.
