What You Need to Know About the Most Popular Types of Piercings
Piercings continue to be some of the most popular forms of body modification out there, and there’s no wonder why. With piercings that can suit almost anyone—from the location to the type, to the jewelry—piercings are a fun and unique way to express your personality and style.
These days, piercings are becoming much more widely accepted, too, with many employers being open to facial piercings and multiple ear piercings than ever before. It’s no wonder that piercing continues to be popular, and continues to be one of the most popular services we offer here at Certified Tattoo Studios. If you’re in the Denver or Colorado Springs Metro areas and are looking for the perfect place to get your next piercing, we’ve got you covered. And if you’re debating which piercing (or piercings—the more the merrier) is the right fit for you, read on to find out everything you need to know about the most popular piercings out there.
Earlobe Piercings
Earlobe piercings are hands down some of the most popular piercings around the world. For many, getting your earlobes pierced is a right of passage into adulthood, so it’s no wonder this type of piercing is at the top of the most popular types of piercings list.
Helix Piercing
Helix piercings are another extremely popular type of ear piercing. Once someone has one (or more!) ear lobe piercings, their next stop is often the helix piercing. It’s an incredibly versatile piercing that can show off a variety of unique jewelry options.
Nostril Piercing
Nostril piercings used to be more rare piercings, but they’re becoming more and more common—and popular. This is evidenced by the fact that many workplaces won’t even bat an eye if an employee has their nostril pierced. This is a classic piercing that allows for some subtle jewelry and adds some intricate body art to the face.
Septum Piercing
Septum piercings aren’t as common as nostril piercings, but they are steadily becoming more sought after. A septum piercing allows for a slightly different way of wearing jewelry in the nose, and can work well for a variety of different people.
Tragus Piercing
Tragus piercings are a subtle way to add some more interest to the ear. The tragus is a small part of the ear, so the type and size of jewelry worn on the tragus can be more limited, but it’s a great way to add more ear candy to your ear!
Industrial Piercing
An industrial piercing is a bar that passes through two sides of the ear. An industrial can be placed in numerous angles in the ear, and it’s an edgy piercing that can add quite a bit of visual interest to the ear.
Now that you know what some of the most popular types of piercings are, you can figure out which one might be right for you! And if you can’t decide, you can always go with more than one piercing—there’s no doubt that when it comes to piercings, more can sometimes be the way to go.
