Next on our list is the humble lobe piercing. For many people this is the first ever piercing you will get and is top of the most popular ear piercings!

At number 7 we have the helix piercing. This is another popular piercing for the ear and looks great when combined with other types of ear piercing. It is designed to be worn with stud or hoop jewellery and sits on the rim of the ear. Just like lobes, you can opt for multiple similar piercings to create an awesome multi-hoop style. This is a popular piercing for females because of the style possibilities. Combine with your tragus piercing and it is sure to look cute or make up your own earring constellation.
Lip piercings are becoming popular piercings for guys and come in all sorts of varieties. The traditional lip piercing is a single hoop or stud on one side of the lip but you can also opt for piercings such as Monroe or snake bites which are placed just above of below the lip allowing you to create the exact look you are after.
Second to last, we have the scaffolding piercing. This piercing requires two piercings. It is a bar that stretches across your ear. This can look awesome if you are looking for that one statement piece and if you decide to take out your scaffold bar you can always insert two hoops or studs instead.
The final piercing on our list is the tongue bar. This fun piercing is perfect for those who don't want an external piercing. While you do need to be patient with the healing process, it is sure to be worth the wait. There are plenty of brightly coloured bars your can wear in your new body mod.
