Piercings are a fun way to promote your own self expression. Ear piercings are great for this because it's not as harsh as most piercings appear and are accepted in most work places. I personally just got my inner conch pierced and I'm hoping to encourage some of you to come down this addicting but super beautiful road of ear piercing mania with me!

1. Inner conch.

So of course I'd pick this one because I just did it a few days ago. It's a really cool piercing that is perfect if you are looking for something a little milder and less "hardcore," if you will. Another plus to this piercing is that it's rumored to help with asthma.

2. Tragus.

Tragus piercings are definitely becoming more popular. They are pretty but can have some problems with infection due to how exposed the piercing is. It's definitely worth the extra cleaning for this adorable accessory.

3. Daith.

Another piercing rising in popularity is the daith. Many migraine sufferers claim that this piercing has either significantly reduced their number of migraines or completely eliminated them. Maybe this would not only make you look super stellar, but also help with some health problems.

4. Rook.

A downside to this piercing is that many say it is incredibly painful. This is due to the area of it and how thick the cartilage is. If you're tough enough to handle the pain, you'll walk away with a super edgy new piercing!

5. Snug.

Snugs are really similar to an inner conch but have a definite unique look about them. These are definitely one of the less common ear piercings out there and perfect for a non conformist.

So get out there and pierce away!
