When it comes to ear piercings, the possibilities are almost endless – you can, in principle, choose to decorate nearly your entire ear with earrings. Maybe you’re thinking about getting a second lobe piercing, or perhaps you already have multiple piercings and are looking for inspiration on how to style them together.
Here, we’ll give you an overview of the different placements and share ideas for creating your own unique look.
One, two, or many piercings?
It’s no longer just about the classic single lobe piercing in each ear – today, you can get much more creative and use multiple piercings to express your personal style. Many love mixing placements on each ear and adding multiple piercings along the lobe – opening up a world of fun combinations with studs, hoops, and everything in between.
You can mix gold and silver, combine small, delicate studs with statement earrings or even try something new like pearl earrings. There are truly no rules – it’s all about expressing who you are through your jewelry. And whether you have one, two, or three piercings, you’ll find a huge selection of beautiful earrings in different styles at our store to elevate your look. Choosing the perfect combination can be a challenge – but also a great excuse to treat yourself to something new, right?
Popular piercings beyond the lobe
If you’re ready to explore beyond the lobe, there are lots of exciting piercing options. The helix piercing is one of the most popular – and for good reason. It adds a cool, edgy vibe and looks beautiful with a small hoop or ring for a light, feminine look. While many associate the helix with a more feminine aesthetic, there are plenty of men who also rock this piercing to perfection.
Another favorite is the tragus piercing, placed on the small flap at the entrance to your ear canal. It’s both subtle and striking at once, and the best part is that you can style it however you want. Some prefer a simple, tiny stone in the tragus, while others go bold with statement earrings – both work beautifully!
When can you change your earrings?
Patience is key after getting a new piercing. If you’ve had a classic lobe piercing done, you should usually wait 6–8 weeks before switching your earrings. Cartilage piercings like the helix or tragus take a bit longer to heal – anywhere from 3–6 months or even up to a year. It’s important to follow your piercer’s aftercare advice to avoid irritation or infection.
When the time finally comes to change your earrings – that’s when the fun really begins! With multiple piercings, you can mix and match exactly how you like. Try combining minimal studs in one hole with a larger statement earring in another, or experiment with mixing metals like silver and gold. You can also add an ear cuff – no piercing needed, but it’s a perfect way to complete your look.
Multiple piercings – your style, your rules
There’s no doubt that multiple piercings are trending, and at Winther Studio, we love it! It gives you endless ways to play with different looks and express your style. Maybe you have two piercings in each lobe, or you’ve gone all-in with three lobe piercings and a helix on top? No matter your setup, it’s a great way to show off your personality.
There are no rules when it comes to styling your earrings. You can match your jewelry for a cohesive look – for example, with an earring set – or go for a more mixed and edgy vibe. That’s the beauty of it! And if you’re ever in need of inspiration, just take a look at our product and model photos for styling ideas.
