Piercings have always been a fashionable way for girls to express themselves and add a touch of personal flair. Whether it’s a subtle stud or a bold statement piece, the right piercing can elevate any look. If you’re getting a piercing for the first time or simply searching for your next addition, we’ve got you covered.
Here are 15 adorable piercing ideas for girls that are sure to inspire and captivate.
1. Eyebrow Piercings
Your eyebrows frame your face and give it some definition, so why not embellish them and make them stand out? Well-chosen eyebrow jewelry will give a cute, unique style to your look.
It’s typically located just past the arch of the eyebrow. It can be a vertical or horizontal surface piercing for which the needle goes through the bottom and top of the eyebrow. Unfortunately, this will permanently scar your face, so you should put some thought into it before going under the needle.
Opt for elegant jewelry designs for a classy look. From curved barbells to captive rings and gem crystals, there’s an eyebrow jewelry that will surely fit your taste. If you’ve got a very flat brow, you may opt for a straight barbell. If you want a more elaborate style of jewelry, a twister spiral ring with opal, crystal, or pearl balls on each end will make a big difference to your overall look.
2. Multiple Earlobe Piercing
A single earlobe piercing is the most popular type of body piercing but add a few more piercings to create your own unique curated look. Multiple earlobe piercings might have some radical origins, but bejeweled crystals, gold hoops, and classic pearls will make everything sophisticated. The more lobe piercings you have, the more you can play with different jewelry styles.
3. Conch Piercing
The conch piercing refers to the cartilage of the outer part of your ear, resembling a conch shell. In this piercing, you may choose between the inner conch and outer conch. Most of the time, the ideal spot will depend on your cartilage anatomy. Some can even go for double or triple conch piercings, which is great for stacking earrings.
A stud earring with a ball or flat disc backing is the best jewelry for the inner conch piercing. On the other hand, a large hoop around the edge of the ear looks best for outer conch piercing. It’s better to start with a stud for the first six months or so to help the piercing heal.
If you’re tired of seeing the same minimalist jewelry, this piercing is perfect for you, as you can easily dress it up or down with rhinestones or curved clusters.
4. Helix Piercing
One of the most famous cartilage piercings, helix is the spot along the top curve of the ear. It’s a nice addition to your pierced lobes, and perfect for hoop and stud earrings. However, the beauty of the piercing will depend on the decorative jewelry and the spacing of the jewelry —double or triple helix piercings must be spaced apart.
Depending on your taste, you can choose from captive bead rings, hoops, barbells, labret studs, or even cuff-like earrings.
5. Forward Helix
While the typical helix piercing is located along the outer curve of the ear, the forward helix is located along the front of the ear where the curve ends. It’s a stylish and cuter version of the cartilage piercing, bringing the jewelry closer to your face.
If you love the appeal of ornate rings, double hoops, and clusters of studs, this might be perfect for you. When it comes to this piercing, a seamless hoop or small helix stud with flat disc backing is often the best jewelry choice.
6. Auricle Piercing
Rather than along the curve of the ear, the auricle is a non-lobe piercing located between the helix and the earlobe. This piercing is perfect for someone who wants to make a statement without going for maximalist jewelry.
Studs are flattering, along with dainty hoops and bejeweled earrings. There are also fake auricle cuffs if you’re not quite ready to commit to the piercing.
7. Rook Piercing
A rook piercing is located at the flap of cartilage below the helix. Usually, a double-ended piece of jewelry or a curved barbell is placed on the rook. Sometimes, captive bead rings, seamless hoops, and clickers also look great in the cartilage fold. Rook piercings are in your ear and easily visible. With the right type of jewelry, they look cute and stylish.
8. Daith Piercing
One of the most stylishly hidden piercings, the daith is just below the rook, passing though the inner cartilage fold of the ear. It’s also believed to be a potential treatment for migraines, as the piercing passes the same part of the ear where traditionally an acupuncture needle would be placed. When it comes to daith, hoop earrings are the perfect jewelry choices, as it complements the curve of the ear.
9. Tragus Piercing
A tragus piercing goes through the small, round bit of cartilage in front of the ear canal. It’s on the outer ear, right across from the earlobe. More people are getting tragus piercings these days, making them quite trendy. You can wear various jewelry in them, like tiny hoops, studs, or barbells.
Since the tragus is cartilage, getting it pierced might hurt a bit more than piercing the soft earlobe. It’s crucial to take care of it properly to avoid infections and help it heal right.
10. Nose Piercing
One of the oldest and most popular forms of piercings, nose jewelry on the nostril have been around for millennia. While nose rings give a sense of rebellious confidence, a small stud or cute hoop will add that feminine, sweet look to any girl. If you’re looking for jewelry that stays securely in the nose, go for a twist or L-shaped nose ring. For the best metals, consider jewelry made from gold, titanium, niobium, or surgical stainless steel.
11. Septum Piercing
The septum is located at the inner center of the nose below the cartilage, which is often called the “sweet spot.” Septum jewelry septum clickers, circular barbells, and segment rings. A great thing about this piercing is that you can easily change your jewelry if your style changes down the road, without visible scarring.
What’s more, if you need to hide it for work, choose a circular barbell that can flip upwards and out of sight. A cute septum jewelry with distinctive design like gothic, minimalist, or tribal will add personality and a unique flair to your piercing.
12. Monroe Piercing
A Monroe piercing is a lip piercing placed above the upper lip, reminiscent of a beauty mark. It’s named after the iconic Marilyn Monroe, who had a natural beauty spot in a similar location. Positioned off-center on the left side, this piercing mimics the look of the famous actress’s mole.
To get a Monroe piercing, a professional piercer inserts a labret stud into the area, with the flat back inside the mouth and the decorative gem or bead outside, above the upper lip.
13. Philtrum
People often call a philtrum piercing a “Medusa piercing.” It sits in the groove right below the nose’s septum and above the upper lip. This piercing goes through the philtrum, the vertical dimple between the nose and top lip.
Professionals usually use a labret stud for this piercing. The stud’s flat back rests inside the mouth, and its decorative end, like a bead or gem, shows on the outside. Because of its close location to the mouth, keeping up with oral hygiene and following aftercare advice is vital to heal well and avoid problems.
14. Labret Piercing
A labret piercing sits just below the bottom lip and above the chin. While many think it’s only in the center, you can also find it off to the side. The word “labret” comes from the Latin “labrum,” meaning “lip.” This word refers to both the piercing and the jewelry.
Usually, people use a labret stud for this piercing. It has a flat disk on one end that stays inside the mouth and a decorative end, like a bead or gem, that shows on the outside. Because it’s close to the mouth, keeping up with oral hygiene and following aftercare steps are key to heal well and avoid problems.
15. Navel Piercing
If you’re looking for an aesthetic change, but don’t like the idea of a facial piercing, consider a navel piercing. One of the most popular body piercings, the navel is often decorated with a dangle belly ring, barbell jewelry, or belly chains. A great thing about this piercing is that it’ll let you rock midriff fashion trends like crop tops and low-waist denim stylishly.
