Cartilage Clusters: 6 Unique Piercing Styles to Inspire Your Next Cartilage Piercing
February 28, 2019
Cartilage piercings are definitely in vogue. With so many piercing locations, you can choose which ones suit your style, and since cartilage piercings are usually accepted in professional settings, you don’t have to worry about hiding them from your boss or conservative relatives.
Part of what makes cartilage piercings so great is the endless piercing combinations that you can take on. But that’s what also makes it an overwhelming undertaking. When you get your cartilage pierced, you could go by whimsy and spontaneously go for whatever piercing you feel like getting, but we recommend making a plan.
Whether you prefer one or two teeny studs, or you’re looking to bling it up, here are some cartilage piercing styles to inspire you.
Petite hoops in an organized line
Stack your lobe piercings, auricle piercings, and helix piercings for a sleek, organized look. With petite hoops, this style is a perfect combination of neat and edgy.

A row of lobe piercings traveling up the ear can be a fun option that you can dress up with a variety of hoops and dangles, as seen above, or that can be toned down with cute studs. The lobe offers a great piercing canvas, so have some fun!

We love the daith piercing. The position of the piercing allows you to showcase gorgeous hoops in an interesting way. This Instagram user knows that the daith can shine on its own, and adorned her tragus, helix, and lobe piercings with cute but subtle studs to act as an accent without overshadowing the daith.
