However, you can also choose curved or straight bars to adorn this wonderful piercing.
Daith Piercing
The Daith piercing has become a growingly popular type of ear piercing. This piercing looks beautiful while nestled right within your ear. The most common type of jewelry for this ear piercing is a tiny hoop as it fits perfectly along the inner curve of the ear. Moreover, another great jewelry option for this ear piercing is horseshoe hoops.
Tragus Piercing
The tragus piercing is position on the outcrop of your cartilage above your ear canal. Due to the small size of the tragus, there is often a place for only a single piercing.
