THE PIERCING GUIDE

FIND YOUR
PIERCING MATCH

Not every piercing is for every face. Some lift. Some soften. Some say, “yes, I planned this whole look.”

Discover the best ear and face piercings for your face shape — from helix and conch to daith, septum, lobes and curated ear stacks.

FACE SHAPE FIRST

YOUR PIERCING STARTS
WITH YOUR FACE SHAPE

Think of it as contour with jewellery. The right placement can lift, soften, balance or draw attention exactly where you want it.

No rules. Just a better starting point.

Best for: Round, heart and oval face shapes.
Jewellery mood: Tiny studs, sparkly details and minimal shapes.

LOW COMMITMENT. HIGH IMPACT.

NOT READY FOR
A PIERCING?

Fake it beautifully.

Ear cuffs give you the stacked-ear look without the appointment, the healing time, or the “should I really do this?” spiral.

Wear one with huggies. Add a tiny stud. Pretend it was always the plan.

THE QUICK ANSWERS

PIERCING QUESTIONS,
ANSWERED BEAUTIFULLY.

The short version before you book the appointment, build the stack, or decide you are suddenly an ear cuff person.

01 What piercing suits a round face?
High lobe, helix, flat and forward helix piercings are the most flattering for round faces because they create lift and make the face feel a little longer.
02 What piercing suits a square face?
Square faces look beautiful with curved placements like daith, conch, septum and nostril piercings. They soften strong angles without hiding your bone structure.
03 What piercing suits an oval face?
Oval faces suit almost everything: lobes, helix, conch, daith, septum and curated ear stacks. The goal is not correction — it is styling.
04 What piercing makes your face look slimmer?
Piercings placed higher on the ear, such as helix, flat, forward helix and high lobe piercings, can make the face appear more lifted and elongated.
05 What is the easiest piercing to start with?
A lobe or second lobe piercing is usually the easiest place to start. It is simple, wearable and perfect for building an ear stack slowly.
06 What if I want the look without a piercing?
Ear cuffs are the answer. They give you the stacked-ear look with no appointment, no healing time and no commitment. Very convenient. Very chic.

Still deciding? Start with the pieces that do the most with the least.

READY WHEN YOU ARE

BUILD THE EAR.
KEEP THE STORY.

Start with one piece. Add another when it feels right.

From huggies and tiny studs to ear cuffs and piercing jewellery, this is your starting point for a stack that looks considered — never overdone.
