9. Rook Piercing-
Rook piercing is done at the folded inner rim where the inner and outer conch are divided, it’s one of the most painful piercing as the piercing includes a lot of tissues and even it’s not necessary that it will look great on everyone as it’s very depended on the look and structure of your ears.
8. Snug Piercing-
Snug piercing also known as Anti-helix Piercing, the piercing is done at the inner fibrous of the ear, the piercing is not that typical and doesn’t look so great also as only micro-jewellery can only be used and the piercing is much more agonizing as compare to others piercings.
7. Orbital Piercing-
An orbital piercing relates to any piercing where two holes are made in the same part of the ear, usually so that a ring piece of jewellery can successfully go through both. While these can be done in a lot of places, generally people have this piercing in the helix or the lobe.
6. Anti-tragus Piercing-
The antitragus is the little cartilage next to your lobe and opposite your tragus. Based upon on your pain limit this piercing pretty painful both during the process and at the time to recover afterwards.
5. Daith Piercing-
Just above the starting of the ear canal is a small variety of cartilage, and this is where you might find a death piercing. It’s a fairly challenging part of the ear to get to in order to actually pierce it, so rounded small needles are generally used. Once the deed is done, though, a variety of straight and hooped jewellery can be worn in it. It actually ends up as one of the more unique, cuter ear piercings to look at!
4. Graduate Lobe Piercing-
This one is an absolute die-for, women usually prefer three or more ear-rings of the same style but different size. This kind of piercing is a mixture of three or more piercings done on the lobe at certain gaps from each other. An easy hole is pierced through the earlobe by an ear gun or a hook. It involves very low risk of infection and almost no pain or swelling. It is very safe as the earlobe is very flexible and contains no cartilage. This kind of piercing has the ability to make you the center of attraction in even the most crowded of places.
3. Transverse Lobe Piercing-
Instead of piercing through the lobe back to front side like an ordinary lobe piercing, the transverse lobe piercing goes through the skin side to side using a barbell. This kind of piercing does not need cartilage, so in common more pain-free than other types of piercings.
2. Forward Helix Piercing-
A forward helix piercing is a style for the outer rim of your ear at the top of the rim just above the tragus, it can often be little painful as it is made through the cartilage in the ear. You can also get a dual or a multiple forward helix piercing.

It contains several piercings that are connected with each other with the help of the only single piece of jewellery and the piece of jewellery is usually in the form of a spiral.
