We’ve all heard the phrase, “new year, new me.” But considering we’re all pretty sure those people don’t really do anything life-changing, maybe it’s time to finally do something new and exciting. One of the easiest and cutest things to do is get a new earring piercing.
As a simple heads up, please recognize that all of these photos show piercings that have healed — or are on their way to healing. When deciding which piercing is right for you, take pain, cleaning, and time into account — all body modifications can put a strain on your body, allow it to heal. Infections can also occur, so proceed to pierce with caution!
Here’s your list of 15 ear piercings you should consider getting in the new year.
- Double Lobe Piercing
- Triple-Lobe Piercing
- Daith Piercing
- Industrial Piercing
- Rook Piercing
- Tragus Piercing
- Conch Piercing
- Helix Piercing
- Outer Conch Piercing

- Or just get a whole bunch!
Whatever you decide to do will definitely lead to catching people’s eyes — especially with the piercings that are less conventional. And don’t feel limited to these styles — sometimes speaking to a professional can help you come up with unique piercings. Pinterest has thousands of photos and ideas available as well, don’t limit yourself to one list! Research on pain levels and ear piercing care can help you decide whether or not these piercings are actually worth it.
Again, before deciding to take on any of these piercings, make sure to consult with a parent. If you’re under 18 your parent might have to sign a waiver. And make sure to check in with yourself, some of these ear piercings are more painful than others. They will, therefore, require more care and caution the weeks after. Don’t try to take on more than you can handle.
Happy piercings and happy new year!
