It’s time to refresh your look for the upcoming summer! When you’re pondering what to do to upgrade your appearance, why not try wearing a new, edgy earring?

To prevent you from getting confused among a plethora of piercing options, Jenn Lee – Senior Manager at the renowned Studs earring studio, along with the expert team, has selected the top 5 earring trends predicted to be most popular this year.

And these 5 piercing positions are:

1. Contra Conch This piercing position, also known as outer conch, is located on the inner cartilage ridge of the ear.

   Reason for selection: “This is one of the most famous piercing positions done by Studs,” Jenn says. “This unique position plays a crucial role in attracting everyone’s attention, as it is right next to the center of the ear.” You should use sparkling stone-studded earrings for this piercing position, as it will make your ear and face shine brighter.

2. Snakebites Snakebites consist of 2 closely spaced piercings resembling snake bites on the flat surfaces of the ear.

   Reason for selection: “You can comfortably choose the position of the 2 Snakebites piercings and decorate them with earring styles according to your preference. Its most common position is near the outer edge of the ear, near the midi-helix position, but it can still be pierced at other ear positions such as the wide flat area inside the upper ear… Once these 2 piercings are fully healed, you can mix and match earring types like hoop earrings, gemstone stud earrings, or chain earrings, all very personalized and leaving a strong personal mark.”

3. Flat Helix This piercing is located on the flat cartilage area on the upper ear.

   Reason for selection: “Flat Helix is the perfect piercing to balance all earring positions on the ear and instantly elevate your appearance, no matter what earring style you use.”

4. Stacked Lobe A cluster of piercings on the earlobe, placed much closer together than the traditional second and third lobe piercing positions.

   Reason for selection: “Similar to Snakebites, this piercing style is great if you want to design your own unique earrings for your one-of-a-kind ear. Depending on the ear’s structure, you can pierce two earrings in a row right next to each other to create a straight line, or between two earrings to create a triangle,” Jenn Lee shares. “This is also a good option for those who want their ears to look more interesting but don’t want cartilage piercings.”

5. Conch A piercing located on the inside of your ear.

   Reason for selection: “This piercing has been a favorite for a long time, and we don’t think it will go out of style anytime soon,” Jenn Lee says. Because of its location inside the ear, it’s often easier to heal than other piercings as it’s less likely to get caught. Once fully healed, this piercing is incredibly fun to pair with different earring styles, exuding a mysterious, ephemeral vibe.

It’s time to embrace these trendy earring styles and let your ears do the talking!
