These days, a well-placed piercing—or, more likely, a collection of them—is as common a beautiful accent as a brush of mascara when it comes to appearance. However, unlike cosmetics, which often have a specified application area, it is the location of the piercing that distinguishes it as yours and not someone else's. In recent years, nose piercing has progressed from a straightforward one-two punch of the lobe to a more sophisticated contemporary imperative, with tiny jewelry catching the light from both the nose and the ears—the latter of which is often the site of a high-shine procession.
Today's piercings are no longer a symbol of rebellion; instead, they are a symbol of sophistication, instantly transforming even the most basic above-neck styles to simple but with a dash of glitter. Meanwhile, what is the difference between an orbital and an auricle? And, perhaps more significantly, which of the countless alternatives is most idiosyncratically yours? We've compiled a collection of stylish facial piercings worth the pain of getting one. Choose your dazzling fighter—or fighters—from the list provided below to start the match.

Lobe
Lobe piercing is the most traditional piercings, and it is the best place to start. Even if your jewelry collection grows, the first lobe punch is where you'll find the largest hoops and the most memorable statement earrings to add to your collection. Consider this to be the ear accessory's mooring point.
Upper Lobe (sometimes spelled Upper Lobe)
The perforation on both sides. If one wants a collection of piercings that gradually grow in size, this is a logical next step. Lobe piercing is compatible with any item of jewelry, whether it is a statement-making stud or a huggie hoop; anything else is not permitted (think graduated, size-wise).
Conch
"The conch is a popular show-stopper, and with good reason: it's beautiful. This piercing passes through the middle of the ear, with the puncture placed near the edge of the ear to provide for best wearing comfort. Choose a stud or a hoop that wraps around the outside of the ear, allowing you to experiment with different positions."
Tragus
That piece of cartilage that protects your ear canal? It's called the ossicles. In this case, it's the tragus and one of the most common places to have pierced. Even when any other face jewelry does not accompany it, this alternative elicits a second glance.
Rook
The rook is a nodule of cartilage that sits above the tragus bone. This region can provide both visually arresting and more subtle appearances. A delicate ring or barbell is sure to catch the viewer's attention.
Helix
In the outer upper ear, the helix is a puncture of the cartilage that runs around the outside. Back in the day, when the ear piercing selection was a little more limited, the helix was probably referred to as a "cartilage piercing." When worn alone, it makes a statement; when worn with others, it blends in seamlessly.
Forward Helix
Because it is located on the front side of the rim rather than on the back side, it is more unexpectedly placed in comparison to the back helix. While a single stud—perhaps in a whimsical form like a star or a triangle—will accomplish the desired aesthetic effect, a pair or even a trio of adornments is worth considering for the ultimate visual impact.
Auricle
Consider the auricle to be the ear's version of a midi skirt. This puncture is located in the space between the lobe and the helix of the helix. An absolute must-have if you want your ear-level decorations to have the feeling of always ascending higher.
Industrial
The industrial harkens back to a period when any piercings that went beyond the lobe were considered to be edgy and provocative. It is also referred to as a "scaffold" since it is characterized by a bar that joins two independent piercings: the helix and the forward helix, which are connected by a bar. The term badass comes to mind when I think of this.
Nose
The nose piercing, ornamented with a small stud or a well-fitting hoop, is a classic style element. Even though it fluctuates between the current and the classic, at this time, it is considered a classic. And what if you want to go all-in on something? Pair with a septum piercing for a complete look.
