Ear piercing
There’s something oddly satisfying about the tiny click of a new piercing. It’s that perfect mix of rebellion and ritual. Some people do it for style. Some do it for the thrill. Others do it just because they felt like a change on a random Tuesday. Whatever your reason, ear piercings are one of those small things that make a big statement.
At Ace Tattooz, we treat ear piercings the same way we treat tattoos — with precision, patience, and a steady hand. No rushing, no guesswork. Just clean technique, sharp jewellery, and artists who know exactly how to make it look effortless.
Ear Piercing Placement Ideas
Every ear tells a story. The fun part is deciding where to start it.
Here are a few of the types of ear piercings that keep our clients coming back:
Ear Lobe Piercing
The classic. The go-to. The one who started it all. Ear lobe piercings are versatile, quick to heal, and suitable for both beginners and collectors. You can keep it simple with a single stud or create a stacked look with multiple piercings.
Upper Ear Piercing
A small detail that changes everything. The upper ear piercing sits on the cartilage, giving your ear that bit of edge without being too loud. It’s subtle confidence in metal form.
Side Ear Piercing
For those who like symmetry with a twist. The side ear piercing frames the face beautifully and pairs well with minimalist or geometric jewellery. It’s one of those placements that looks good from every angle.
Cartilage Ear Piercings
If you’re after something a little more adventurous, cartilage piercings are where creativity lives. From helix to daith, rook to tragus, these placements add structure and style to your ear’s natural shape. They heal slower than lobe piercings but look effortlessly cool once they settle in.
Curated Ear Combos
Some people get one piercing. Others turn their ear into a curated gallery. We help design that layout — balancing lobe, upper, and cartilage ear piercings so everything feels harmonious. Think of it as composition, but for your ear.

Trending Ear Piercing Styles
Trends come and go, but good piercings stay iconic. Here are a few styles that have been ruling Mumbai’s ear game lately:
Stacked Lobes
Multiple piercings lined neatly along the lobe — minimal, chic, and endlessly customisable. Pair small hoops with tiny studs for a balanced, modern look.
Constellation Piercings
These earrings, inspired by star maps, form delicate patterns by placing several small piercings across the ear. It’s soft, inventive, and never overdone.
Hoop Chains
A single chain connecting two piercings instantly adds texture and movement. It’s playful yet sophisticated, perfect for those who like jewellery that tells its own story.
Cartilage Clusters
Small studs grouped together on the upper cartilage create a bold yet balanced appearance. It’s popular among those who enjoy structure and design.
Minimalist Piercings
A single dot, perfectly placed. Minimalist piercings rely on precision rather than quantity. When done right, they make more impact than a whole ear of metal.
No matter the style, the best ear piercings are the ones that feel like they belong to you.
How to Choose
the Right Ear Piercing
The best piercings start with a plan. Here’s how to pick yours:
1
Think About Your Style
Do you prefer something understated or something that catches the light? Your jewellery choice can shift a piercing from elegant to edgy in seconds.
2
Consider Placement
Each part of the ear heals differently. An ear lobe piercing usually heals in a few weeks, while cartilage ear piercings might take a few months. Your artist will help you decide based on your lifestyle and comfort.
3
Look at Balance
If you already have piercings, think about how new ones will complement the existing ones. The goal is flow, not clutter.
4
Start Simple
If it’s your first time, begin with a lobe or side ear piercing. Once you’re comfortable, you can experiment with upper ear or cartilage placements.
5
Trust Your Artist
Your piercer’s advice isn’t guesswork. They’ve seen every ear shape imaginable and know what looks best where. When in doubt, listen to their guidance.
Once the design feels right, trust the process. Let it unfold. The best tattoos come from collaboration, not speed.
Ear Piercing Aftercare Tips
A piercing may appear to be small, but it requires careful attention. Good aftercare means faster healing and a more pleasant experience overall.
Here’s how to keep your piercing satisfied:
Wash your hands before touching your piercing. Use a saline solution or mild cleanser twice a day.
Don’t twist, pull, or fiddle with the jewellery. Let it heal in peace.
Try not to sleep on the side of your new piercing. Use a travel pillow if needed to reduce pressure.
If you notice swelling, redness, or discharge, contact your piercer or a medical professional.
Stay away from swimming pools or hot tubs. Chlorine and bacteria don’t mix well with fresh piercings.
Ear lobe piercings usually heal in 6–8 weeks. Cartilage piercings can take up to 3–6 months. Don’t rush to change your jewellery.
