BODY EAR PIERCING
Ear Piercing Variations
Are you considering adding a few additional ear piercings to go along with the piercing at the middle of your earlobe? Maybe one of these piercing variations will suit your style and work with the jewelry combinations you want to wear.
Industrial Piercing
The industrial is a frequent ear piercing where two or more holes are made in the cartilage of an ear. The holes are then connected by one barbell. Most piercers do both holes in the same appointment, and connect them with a barbell suitable for healing.
- Typical Gauge for an Industrial Piercing Typical jewelry size for a primary industrial piercing is 14 gauges, with the option to go larger or smaller in size once the piercing is healed.
- Healing Time As with nearly all cartilage piercings, it could take 16 weeks for an industrial piercing to heal.
Tragus Piercing
The tragus is the triangular shaped section of cartilage in front of the ear canal. It has become an admired spot for piercings, and is commonly decorated with delicate hoop jewelry.
- Typical Gauge for a Tragus Piercing An 18 to 14 gauge captive ring is typical primary jewelry used in a tragus piercing.
- Healing Time A tragus piercing has a lengthy healing time, usually six to twelve months, although sometimes it become visible to have healed much sooner.
Daith Piercing
Daith, pronounced doth, is a piercing of the ear’s inner cartilage. Relax your thumb at the top of your ear canal and grab the cartilage just above it with your first finger — that’s where a Daith piercing takes place. When you have a Daith piercing, the underneath part of the jewelry should appear to be coming out of the ear canal.
- Typical Gauge for a Daith Piercing Size differs depending on your ear’s structure, but is typically from 18 to 14 gauges. The piercer often inserts a captive hoop to serve as the initial jewelry.
- Healing Time It generally takes 2 – 4 months for a Daith piercing to repair.
