Helix Piercing: The Complete Guide
The helix sits on the upper outer rim of the ear and is the most popular cartilage piercing in the world — subtle enough for a first cartilage piercing, versatile enough to anchor a fully curated ear.
Pain 5/10$40–$100
Septum Piercing: The Complete Guide
The septum piercing sits in the thin wall between your nostrils and has gone from counterculture badge to mainstream staple — partly because it heals fast for a nose piercing, and partly because it is the only facial piercing you can genuinely hide in seconds.
Pain 6/10$40–$90
Nose Piercing: The Complete Nostril Guide
When people say 'nose piercing' they almost always mean the nostril — a small stud or hoop through the curve of the nostril, and one of the most worn piercings on earth. It is subtle, endlessly customizable, and sits right in the middle of your face, which makes placement the whole game.
Pain 5/10$30–$80
Belly Button Piercing: The Complete Guide
The belly button piercing — a curved barbell through the ridge of skin above the navel — is the definitive body piercing: low on pain, high on payoff, and back in full force with the return of crop tops and low-rise everything. The catch nobody mentions is the healing timeline.
Pain 4/10$30–$80
Tragus Piercing: The Complete Guide
The tragus is the small cartilage flap that guards your ear canal, and piercing it puts a tiny gem right at the entrance to the ear — one of the most face-framing spots on the entire ear, visible from the front in a way most ear piercings aren't.
Pain 5/10$40–$100
Daith Piercing: The Complete Guide
The daith threads a ring through the innermost fold of cartilage above your ear canal — a piercing that looks like it grew there. It is beautiful, slightly tricky to pierce, and permanently attached to a migraine rumor that deserves an honest answer.
Pain 6/10$50–$100
Conch Piercing: The Complete Guide
The conch piercing sits in the shell-shaped bowl at the center of your ear — the placement named after the seashell it resembles. A gem there floats in the middle of everything, and a healed conch hoop wraps the entire ear; few piercings offer two looks this different from one hole.
Pain 6/10$40–$90
Industrial Piercing: The Complete Guide
The industrial is two cartilage piercings connected by one straight barbell across the upper ear — the boldest statement on the ear piercing menu. It is striking, architectural, and unforgiving: two holes healing at once, connected by a bar that transmits every bump to both.
Pain 7/10$50–$100
