Different Types of Ear Piercings

Thinking of getting a new ear piercing? We've made this little ear map which shows the locations of the most common types of ear piercing so you can easily see the name of the piercing you want or already have.

We sell jewellery to fit all these common ear piercings. In case you are wondering what size you need here is a chart lower down this page showing which sizes are usually used for the different types of ear piercings. People ears vary greatly so depending on the thickness of your ear or the location of the piercing you may need 6mm, 8mm, 10mm or 12mm bar lengths or ring diameters. The chart shows the most common sizes.
