All earrings for piercing can be divided into several types. It all depends on where the puncture is made. Consider more of these varieties.
The most common accessories are earlobes. From the specific place of puncture depends on what kind of earrings must be selected.
To puncture the ear, as a rule, use:
- For piercing anti tragus it is worth picking up straight and slightly curved rods or rings.If the puncture has an entry point in the earlobe, then simple models with a straight rod should be worn. If the puncture is made only in the cartilage, then the bar should be small in size.
- A piercing called dace is performed in the place of the protruding cartilage, which is located very close to the auditory canal. For this puncture the ideal solution would be rings, half rings or curved rods.
- Another interesting type of ear piercing is Industrial. It has two holes that are connected by one earring. As a rule, a similar puncture is made on the upper portion of the ear. Here the bars having the various form of the basis will be pertinent.

To pierce the navel, original percy bananas are often used. They are very similar to a curved bar, but differ from them in a long main body and bend angle. Such a product must be chosen carefully and carefully, otherwise it will deliver a lot of discomfort.
There are two main types of nasal puncture. This is a puncture of the wing and septum. The second option involves the placement of earrings between the partition and the cartilage.
If you want to decorate the wing, then you should refer to the nostril earrings. They are small, reminiscent of flirty cloves. Such instances can be equipped with completely different elements of the decor at the end of the rod.
The most popular today are nostril, decorated with multi-colored glass.
In rare cases, the wing is decorated with rings or half rings.
For puncturing between the septum and the cartilage (septum) most often use circulars. It is worth mentioning that initially such punctures were popular among punks. So they stood out from the environment and easily recognized each other in the crowd.
For puncturing cartilage it is recommended to use microlabers, spirals or rods.
Rods are most often used to decorate the tongue. But if you want to pierce a conic, then you should pick up small rings.
Punctures on the lip, as a rule, are complemented by labrets. These accessories meet all safety requirements. The disc in these earrings is securely attached to the base, so you do not swallow it accidentally and do not hurt the tongue about it. Often used for the lips of the spiral (another name - twists).
It is worth mentioning the fact that you can easily change the ball. To do this, it will not be necessary to remove the main core from the puncture.
