30 Ear Piercing Ideas That’ll Convince You to Curate Your Ear RN

by RUBY BUDDEMEYER / Thursday, 01 April 2021

Wait, you aren’t already curating your ear? Kidding, kidding—but seriously, if you’ve scrolled through IG in the last year, you’re well aware that ear piercings are very much a thing right now. Unlike those basic-ass piercings you got at the mall in seventh grade, the modern version is all about curation (aka piercings are now totally catered to your ear and your aesthetic). Whether you’re into layered lobe piercings, stacked hoops, or edgy orbitals, you can’t really go wrong when it comes to designing your ear. But to help you spark a few ideas, I went ahead and rounded up the 30 coolest ear piercing ideas of all time, including everything from ultra-stacked looks to soft and minimalist vibes. Keep scrolling and don’t forget to screenshot your favorites.

        You don’t need to have a fully stacked ear to make a statement—go for a simple row of three lobe piercings and top ’em off with the glitziest jewelry you can find.

      2. Zoë Kravitz’s Ear Piercing

        Presenting, the ultimate ear piercing inspiration: Zoë Kravitz’s cute-af curation. A combination of teeny lobe piercings and a hoop daith (that’s the bb on the inside of her ear) makes her lineup so freakin’ unique.

      3. This Layered Ear Piercing

        Not into the symmetrical vibe? Curate your ear piercings however you damn please, like this cute lobe, rook, and helix combination. P.S. Don’t you love the idea of rainbow stones to top off the look?

      4. Double Inner Conch Piercing

        What’s cooler than a single conch piercing? This double conch, duh. Add it to your lobe and daith piercings to take your ear to the next level.

      5. Kaia Gerber’s Ear Piercing

      6. This Constellation Ear Piercing

        This constellation piercing—which is celeb piercer Brian Keith Thompson’s signature—is accessorized with the perfect blend of studs, hoops, and glitz.

      7. This Double Ear Piercing

        Prefer something a bit more minimalist? This double lobe piercing is still just as cool—especially when you accessorize it with rhinestone earrings.

      8. This 5x Hoop Ear Piercing

        There’s nothing prettier than a stack of hoop earrings, so why not go full throttle and layer five or six on one ear? I love the idea of adding a chain earring for even more dimension.

      9. Halsey’s Double Ear Piercing

        Another fan of simple double piercings, Halsey’s ear is the perfect blend of edgy and cool (shout out to those cute silver earrings).

      10. This Gold Stack Piercing

        A cool way to make your ear curation look super intentional? Opt for earrings in the same color palette, this like lineup of gold dainty jewelry.

      11. This Stacked Ear Piercing

        My definition of an ear party? This stacked piercing idea. Have your piercer finish off a row of four earlobe piercings with two gemstone stud earrings on your helix (that’s the cartilage-y part up above, BTW).

      12. This Parallel Ear Piercing

        This subdued (but suuuper cool) ear piercing is a great way to inch into the trend without full-on committing. The simple studs look great on their own, but they’ll also look pretty with any piercings you decide to add later on.

      13. This Creative Ear Piercing


        There’s nothing not to love about this ear-piercing idea—it’s the perfect combination of minimalist and edgy, and it’s super customizable with thin, gold earrings (think: you could swap the daith piercing for a helix to really make it your own).

      14. This Triple Helix Piercing

        Helix piercings definitely aren’t for the faint of heart (especially if you have a low pain tolerance), but the payoff is beyond worth it, as seen in this triple gold hoop helix idea.

      15. This Layered Ear Piercing

        Play around with size and dimension for a layered ear that totally fits your vibe. Just keep in mind that most piercers won’t do more than three piercings in one session (your body can reject too many piercings), so you’ll need to build out your ear over time. But good things are worth waiting for, right? Especially when you can layer on the studs and jeweled hoops.

      16. This Double Lobe Piercing

        Not sure you want to go full-throttle with your curated ear? Opt for a classic—but equally as inspo-worthy—look with two hoop piercings on your lobe.

      17. This Minimalist Ear Piercing

        These dainty, perfectly curated piercings will make you want to pierce your ears right TF now. If you have enough space on your lobes, don’t be afraid to ask your piercer to get creative with placement so you can deck yourself out with ultra-thin bands.

      18. This Helix, Orbital, and Lobe Piercing

        A post shared by Astrid & Miyu (@astridandmiyu)

        This combo is ridiculously inspo-worthy, but I’m especially obsessed with the bold orbital piercing (i.e., the silver hoop earring that wraps around her ear).

      19. This Conch Ear Piercing

        Keep it subtle—but, like, pretty—with a double conch piercing like this one. Get creative with a moon earring to finish off the look.

      20. This Stacked Lobe Piercing

        A post shared by J. Colby Smith (@jcolbysmith)

        If you’ve got the space for it, why not upgrade your classic earlobe piercing with a little cluster of pearl and diamond studs? Highly recommend pairing these with a hoop earring because, um, look.

      21. This Triple Helix Piercing

        Layering three piercings along your cartilage is a quick way to take your ear game to the next level. Rather than hoops, opt for mini stud earrings to make the look extra unique and tiny.

      22. This Orbital Ear Piercing

        If a thick orbital piercing seems a liiittle out of your pain threshold, consider trying out the look with a cute ear cuff before you commit.

      23. This Tragus Ear Piercing

        Tragus piercings may be dainty, but they can really make a statement when you coordinate your jewelry with whatever’s on your lobe (like this all-gold earring idea).

      24. This Triple Lobe Piercing


        This subtle ear-piercing idea is perfect for anyone who stays away from statement jewelry, since it looks best with subtle studs and tiny hoops.

      25. This Double Forward Helix Piercing

        A post shared by SIX16 Body Piercing (@six16piercing)


        There’s just something extra cool about a forward helix piercing, but two piercings? That’s seriously next level. Mix it up with contrasting gold and gemstone studs rather than matching ones.

      26. This Stacked Lobe and Helix Piercing

        I love how clean this curation looks—the three golden lobe piercings both complement and contrast the silver double helix studs excellently.

      27. This Daith Ear Piercing

        A post shared by 🌹ShaktiMods🌹 (@shakti_mods)


        Daith piercings can definitely be on the painful side, but when they look this good, it’s hard not to just say f*ck it and try it out. Keep it simple with a singular gold hoop.

      28. This Curved Ear Piercing


        Love jewelry? Work your way up to this all-around ear piercing so you can wear as many cutesy earrings as you damn well please.

      29. This Double Cartilage Piercing


        What’s better than a single cartilage earring? This minimalist double cartilage piercing, obviously.

      30. This Subtle Ear Piercing


        Want a curated ear that flies under the radar? Look to this subtle, modern ear-piercing idea as the ultimate inspiration. Itty-bitty gold hoops and an even smaller earring are the way to go.
