Earrings are a popular type of jewelry that many people love. We can easily find earrings in any jewelry store with many different designs, materials and colors. However, not everyone knows how to pierce their ears properly to create the perfect outfit. This article by Helios will introduce you to the appropriate ear piercing positions for each type of outfit.
Popular ear piercing locations
Simple ear piercing location
Ear piercing in upper ear
The simplest place to get a silver earring is in your upper ear. This is the most common and popular place to wear earrings. To get an earring in your upper ear, simply insert the tip of the earring into your ear and pull it down until it settles in the middle of your ear. If you want to add a feature to your outfit, you can choose unique earrings that still maintain the same upper ear piercing position.
Piercing in the lower ear
The next earring placement is the lower ear. This is also a common and popular placement. This is more comfortable than the upper ear. To get an earring in the lower ear, you need to insert the earring head into the ear from behind and pull it down until it is fixed in the middle of the earplug.
Prominent ear piercing locations
Ear piercing focused on the front of the ear
If you want to create an eye-catching look for your outfit, a front-facing earring is a good choice. To get a front-facing earring, you need to choose long earrings or wear multiple earrings in the same ear. These earrings can be worn from either the upper or lower ear, depending on the style of the earring.
Ear piercing focused on the back of the ear
With the piercing positioned at the back of the ear, you will create a more modern and liberal style for your outfit.
To pierce an earring centered at the back of the ear, simply insert the tip of the earring into the ear from behind and pull down until it is centered over the earplug, but not pressed against the ear.
Types of earrings suitable for each piercing position

Chandelier earrings are long, sparkling earrings with multiple hanging chains that connect to each other. These earrings add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your outfit. Chandelier earrings are a good choice for piercings that are centered on the front of the ear.
Ear cuffs
Ear cuffs are a unique and striking type of earring. They are designed to fit over the center of your ear piercing, creating a personal touch to your outfit. Ear cuffs often come in a variety of shapes, including diamonds, flowers, gold, or silver.
Notes when piercing ears
Choose earrings that match your hairstyle
When getting your ears pierced, you need to consider your hairstyle. If you have short hair, long earrings like chandelier earrings will add height and sexiness. If you have long hair, small, simple earrings will help create a more natural look.

Avoid piercing too many ears
While wearing multiple earrings can add a great effect to your outfit, you need to be careful not to go overboard. If you choose to wear multiple earrings, choose different types and avoid earrings that are too big or too bulky.
Adjust the balance
When you pierce your ears, you need to balance your ears. If your earrings are too heavy or too big, they can make your ears look disorganized and not match your outfit.
With the right piercing locations and good earrings, you can create a unique and striking outfit. Remember to choose earrings that complement your hair and outfit, and don't forget to balance your ears when piercing. Have fun finding earrings that suit your personal style!
