Ear piercings run the gamut from traditional piercings to edgier ones, which is probably why earrings are so popular. An orbital piercing, for example, runs from side to side rather than front to back, with two pierced holes instead of one. Some pierce the cartilage, which may take longer to heal, while others are in the fleshy parts. Oral piercings certainly can tick off the “edgy aesthetic” box, and they can also be more inconspicuous than most facial piercings, which has its advantages.
