Anti-Tragus - The Anti-Tragus piercing passes through the small, vertical ridge of cartilage above the earlobe, formed by the lower front rim of the conch and located opposite the tragus. This piercing is generally performed with a curved or straight barbell in 16 or 14 gauge, this piercing should be placed through the firm, defined cartilage in the area. Since anatomy can vary, ears without a distinct protrusion are typically not suitable for this placement.

Industrial - An Industrial piercing consists of two (or more) piercing sites connected by a single piece of jewelry, typically placed horizontally along the upper rim of the ear. It spans the flat area between the rook and the anti-helix. Most common jewelry used is 14ga straight barbell and occasionally performed at 16ga or 12ga, pending anatomy. For those who’s anatomy does not allow for a traditional industrial placement or those who are looking for a more unique look, custom jewelry options are available. Ask your piercer for further details.

It’s typically done with a 16 gauge curved barbell, though a straight bar may be used. Most people do not have the cartilage structure to support a snug piercing.

Tragus - The tragus piercing is placed through the small triangular cartilage flap in front of the ear canal. It’s commonly done with a flatback labret, straight barbell, or ring in 16 or 18 gauge, with 14 gauge options for those with larger anatomy. With studs, attention is given to how the decorative end aligns with the ear, while rings should rest naturally in the space below the tragus, without causing irritation.
