Ear Piercings
Helix, rook, tragus, double lobes and more: placement, healing and the jewelry that fits.
Every ear is shaped differently, which is exactly why a curated ear looks so personal. Here is what to expect from each cartilage and lobe placement: where it sits, how long it really takes to heal, and which jewelry actually fits once it has. Always book with a reputable professional piercer, and treat our guides as the homework you do before the appointment.
