The key to the most right-
now lewk? Layering, stack-
ing, and arranging your
piercings in unique ways,
like clusters of studs, double
hoops, and ornate rings. It’s
all about you and your vibe,
so customization is key. No
areas are off-limits, but 3
keep in mind that the conch
hoop that looks beyond
cute on your roommate 1
might not work with your
own ear shape. So make
sure you go to a legit
piercer who can guide you
(more on that later), and
test out spots using cuffs or 2
even stickers.
Oh, and a fully curated
ear can’t happen in a single
session—most piercers
recommend two to three at
a time so the area can heal
properly. Also: If you’re a
side sleeper, you should
probs consider doing one
ear at a time to avoid extra
irritation (you aren’t going
to find comfort on either
side of your pillow if you
pierce both at once). So be
patient, bb, and know that
waiting’s only going to help
you in the long run.
