According to Bubbers, most customers opt for a snakebite in their midi, the center point of the outer ear. “Once the piercings are fully healed, you can really personalize your look with the styling,” Bubbers says. “Mix and match hoops, studs, and chains for an extra unique stack.”

Conch piercings have appeared in the top piercing trends for the last few years, but the cartilage piercing is still popular enough to remain on the list for 2024.

“I hope you don’t use this name,” says Brooks, laughing. She prefers the more medical-sounding “outer conch,” but the phrase “sconch” is catching on to describe a piercing placed at the lining ridge in the cavern space close to the center of the ear.

“It’s right in your eyeline when people look at you,” she says. Though it’ll be eye-catching no matter what kind of earring(s) you have in, Brooks likes adorning an outer conch piercing with a piece of jewelry that makes a big statement.

The experts we consulted at Nine Moons Piercing noted the rise of the rook. It’s an inner-ear piercing, located on the “shelf” behind the forward helix. “Rooks are pierced downwards and allow you to wear a cute curved barbell for the initial healing period,” says Pearce. “I think a lot of people are getting this piercing for the long-term goals of one day being able to transition to wearing a small, tight-fitting hoop.”
