If you’re looking for stacked lobe piercings in Staten Island or the NYC area, I offer precise placement and an expansive jewelry selection designed to create a harmonious look.
I’m Paul, a professional body piercer with over 26 years of experience. I work closely with clients to design lobe piercings that layer naturally with existing jewelry and fit their overall style.
What Are Stacked Lobe Piercings?
Stacked lobe piercings are additional piercings placed above or around an existing lobe piercing to create a layered, more multi-dimensional look.
Instead of a single line of piercings, stacked lobes allow for more creative placement. Filling space and complementing your ear’s anatomy; building a look that feels uniquely yours.
Stacked lobes can be subtle and minimal or worn as part of a more detailed ear project.

I’ve worked on a wide range of stacked lobe setups, from simple, understated jewelry to those that add glimmer to a full ear curation.

Jewelry Options for Stacked Lobes
Stacked lobe piercings are typically started with smaller, low-profile jewelry that complements existing pieces.
Common options include:
- Threadless titanium jewelry
- Small gemstone or decorative ends
- Solid gold pieces for a more elevated look
- Cluster styles for added detail
Because these piercings are part of a larger composition, jewelry is chosen not just individually, but based on how it works with everything else in your ear.
I’ll help you select pieces that create balance and flow without overcrowding the area.
I follow safety standards supported by the Association of Professional Piercers to ensure proper placement, jewelry selection, and healing.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Stacked lobe appointments are more collaborative than a standard lobe piercing.
We’ll start by looking at your existing piercings and discussing the overall look you’re going for. From there, I’ll map out placement options to make sure everything sits naturally and feels balanced.
Once placement is finalized, the piercing process itself is quick and straightforward.

Pain Level & Healing Time
Stacked lobe piercings are generally mild in terms of discomfort, similar to standard lobe piercings.
Healing typically takes around 8 to 16 weeks, though this can vary depending on placement and aftercare.
Because these piercings are often placed close together, being mindful during healing is important to avoid irritation.
Aftercare Basics
Aftercare for stacked lobes is similar to standard lobe piercings, but spacing and placement make it important to stay consistent.
Basic aftercare includes:
- Cleaning with sterile saline solution
- Avoiding unnecessary movement or pressure
- Being mindful when sleeping or wearing headphones
- Timely downsizing, when recommended
I’ll go over aftercare in detail during your appointment so you know exactly how to care for your piercings.
