Types of ear piercings and their names.
The ear is a perfect canvas for self-expression through piercings. At Nube Jewels, we have a wide range of options for all piercing lovers.
From the classic lobe to the bold tragus or the mysterious daith, we offer you a variety of ear piercings and their names that will allow you to personalize your style any way you want.
- Lobe – The lobe piercing is the most common and versatile type. It is done at the bottom of the ear, in the fleshy and soft part. Due to its location, it is one of the easiest and least painful piercings to do.
- Tragus - The tragus is the small cartilage that protrudes just in front of the ear canal. A tragus piercing is placed in this area, on the outside of the ear. It is an elegant style piercing and is often adorned with studs or small rings.
- Helix - The helix piercing is done at the top of the ear, in the cartilage. You can opt for a single piercing or create a series of helix piercings for a more intricate look.
- Daith - The daith is an internal piercing found in the fold of the cartilage of the ear. Its internal location gives it a mysterious touch and is often associated with the belief that it can relieve headaches. Daith earrings are varied and can include horseshoe-shaped earrings or rings.
- Rook - The rook piercing is placed on the inner part of the ear fold, in a small indentation. It is a unique and elegant looking piercing, which requires a certain degree of skill to perform. Rook earrings are usually horseshoe rings or studs.
- Conch – The conch piercing can be done in two areas: on the inner conch or on the flat conch. The internal conch is the deepest cavity in the cartilage, while the flat conch is located on the flat part of the cartilage. Both piercing types offer a wide range of jewelry options, from hoops to studs and barbells.
How to cure ear piercing?
The healing process for an ear piercing is crucial to ensuring you look and feel your best. The ear is a sensitive area and requires specific care to avoid complications and achieve successful healing. Here we provide you with detailed information on the steps you should follow to properly care for your new ear piercing:
1. Regular cleaning. Keeping your piercing clean is essential. Use a mild saline solution to clean the area at least twice a day. Avoid touching the piercing with dirty hands and never twist the earring.
2. Avoid chemicals. Avoid using chemicals, such as alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, to clean the piercing. These products can be too strong and delay the healing process. Saline solution is the best option.
3. Keep the area dry. After cleaning, make sure the area is completely dry. You can use a sterile gauze to gently dry. Moisture can be a breeding ground for bacteria.
4. Be careful with clothes. Avoid tight clothing or hats that rub against the piercing, as this can cause irritation. Opt for loose clothing during the healing phase.
5. Avoid the pool and the sea. During the healing process, avoid submerging your ear in pools, hot tubs, and the ocean. These places often contain germs and chemicals that can irritate the piercing.
6. Don't change jewelry prematurely. Wait until the piercing is completely healed before changing the jewelry. This can take several weeks or even months, depending on the type of piercing.
