Second Hole Piercing - Things to Know!

Are you thinking of getting your second piercing? Or maybe third? Looking for some stylish and trendy double hole earrings? Want to know more about these piercings? Look at the ideas and  terms of pros and cons regarding the placement of your second lobe piercings.

Names and Position(s) of Second Ear Piercing

First, second, and third lobe piercings are standard lobe piercings, and there are no such strict rules for lobe piercings. While some people look for symmetry using equal spacing, others look for an asymmetric look, for example, one in the lobe and four in succession further up the ear. Also, there are emerging lobe piercing trends like double vertical or stacked piercings where the piercings are stacked vertically.

Another trend that is getting popular nowadays is ear constellations, where the piercing is done at three points in the lobe to create a triangle shape. It helps you get a clear idea about the final look for ensuring the correct placement. Make sure to consult with a professional to plan the look you desire. In general, your new piercing should be at least 8 mm away from your first piercing.

Pain and healing time

Usually, the pain for second lobe piercing is mild as there is no cartilage in the earlobes. Ear lobes are one of those body parts that get easily and quickly healed as these are soft and fleshy, taking only one to two months to heal. After this time, you can change your jewelry to any style you desire.

What type of jewelry can you have for second and third-ear piercings?

Typically, surgical stainless steel in the gold coating. You can also go for rose gold and black coatings! If you have an allergy or sensitive skin, you can opt for titanium or Bioplast. Once your piercings heal completely, you can buy studs or rings as your second hole earrings. When it comes to double hole earrings, gold earrings are the best choice, especially the studs.

What is the right age to get seconds and thirds pierced?

It is always better to go for second and third piercing after the age of 16. However, if you are under 16, then you will need a parent or guardian to come with you to get your lobes pierced to sign a consent form and be present during the piercing procedure.

Now that you know all about second lobe piercing, start looking for stylish and trendy double hole earrings.
