Types of Piercings

If you’re looking through different types of piercings, this page gives you a breakdown of the most common options and how they’re typically placed. I’ve been piercing for over 26 years, and a big part of my job is helping people figure out what works best for their anatomy and style.

This isn’t a complete list of every piercing out there, but it covers what I do most often. If you don’t know the name of something, that’s completely fine. Bring a photo or point to the area, and I’ll help you figure it out.

Ear Piercings

Ear piercings are some of the most versatile options, ranging from simple lobe piercings to more detailed cartilage placements. They can be worn on their own or combined into a curated look.

Facial Piercings

Facial piercings can range from subtle to more expressive and are often chosen for how they complement your natural features.

Lip & Oral Piercings

Lip and oral piercings offer a wide range of placement options, from minimal to more unique styles.

Torso Piercings

Torso piercings are placed on areas like the chest and abdomen and are often chosen for both aesthetic and personal reasons.

Body Modification & Advanced Piercings

Some piercings require more specialized placement, jewelry, and long-term considerations. These are often chosen for their unique look and require careful planning.

Genital Piercings

Genital piercings are a specialized category that require experience, precision, and a strong understanding of anatomy. I offer a range of options for different anatomies, with a focus on proper placement, comfort, and long-term wear.

These piercings are highly anatomy-dependent, so not every option is suitable for every person. During your appointment, I’ll assess your anatomy and guide you toward options that are both safe and appropriate.

For additional education, Elayne Angel’s website is one of the most trusted resources available. She also refers clients to experienced piercers, including myself.
