Ear piercing became popular with women. There are those who prefer one hole, while others opt for several, creating compositions with the jewelry. The important thing is to follow your own style, from delicate to casual. Those who are afraid can use form-fitting models, which are a constant presence in the looks of celebrities and fashionistas.

There are 11 hole options. Check out the names and identify the positions in the photo below:

Which ear piercing hurts the most?
Pain varies in each person. But, in general, some points really tend to be more annoying, while others may be calmer.
“The helix piercing, or cartilage piercing as we usually talk about it, is one of the calmest. The piercing is done in a part of the ear where the cartilage is thinner and generally softer. Tragus piercing is not so easy, because the cartilage is already a little harder. The rook piercing has stood out because it is not as common as others. The look is incredible, but unfortunately, for those who are not fans of fake piercings, there is a piercing stage beforehand that is very relevant”, informs the Waufen blog.
Care to have a safe healing process
Look for a good professional: take into account references, reviews and testimonials from acquaintances.
Choose a jewelry with good quality: It can be gold or silver. If you prefer a more economical version, you can opt for options plated in a noble metal or made of surgical steel.
Do not change the jewelry in the first few days
Sanitize your hands: before touching the hole or cleaning it.
Hole asepsis: perform hygiene according to the recommendations of the professional who drilled the hole.
Rotate the earring: twice a day for the first few days. During healing, the earring can adhere to the skin, forming unwanted scabs.
Take extra care: when doing your hair and getting dressed, so as not to pull, scratch or hurt it.
Avoid: bathing in pools, rivers and seas in the first few weeks.
Keeping an eye on food: Fatty foods can harm the healing process.
Attention: If pain, swelling and/or redness persist, see a doctor and follow the treatment strictly.
“Be aware that healing time varies from person to person. Healing time for lobe piercing takes a month or two to heal. It may appear healed in less time. Healing time for cartilage piercing takes two to three months to completely heal. It may appear healed before then, but be careful not to mistreat the new piercing, as you could end up with keloids”, reported the Bossê Tattoo website.
