When choosing earrings for your piercings, it's essential to consider the type of stud that best suits the location of your piercing.
For lobe piercings, traditional studs with butterfly backs are a popular choice, offering ease of use and comfort for this easily accessible area.
However, for cartilage and tragus piercings, we recommend our ball screw studs.
These are designed with a secure screw-on mechanism that ensures your earrings stay in place, providing both comfort and peace of mind for those harder-to-reach piercings.
The ball screw studs are not only practical but also stylish, making them a perfect fit for anyone looking to add a touch of elegance to their ear story.
PIERCING FAQs

Ensuring proper healing for your ear piercings involves following a consistent aftercare routine, which includes cleaning the piercing with a saline solution, avoiding unnecessary touching or twisting of the jewelry, and being mindful of signs of infection.
Additionally, choosing the right type of jewelry, such as ball screw studs for cartilage piercings, can aid in the healing process.
Are huggies suitable for all types of ear piercings?
