Two earrings in the ear became a trend not so long ago and instantly gained enormous popularity among young people. This type of jewelry looks elegant, bold and unusual. This method of piercing is now at the peak of fashion. Both boys and girls do it.
The ear can be decorated with any number of earrings. However, doctors advise caution. On the human ears there are centers associated with the functioning of the brain. Irritation of such an area can cause health problems. When girls pierce a second earring in their ear, they need to remember this and not make a hole wherever they want. Piercing has a lot of nuances that only professionals know about. Several earrings in the ear look beautiful, but can cause harm to the body. How to avoid it?
Self-piercing of the ear - dangers and risks
How do you decide which ear to pierce? Should I make a second hole or should I limit myself to a pair of classic piercings? At what age should this procedure be done? There are cases when parents pierce the ears of their babies at the age of one.
Important! You should not do piercings, especially for children, at home.
There are several reasons for this:
- an incorrectly selected puncture site can impair hearing function;
- it is not always possible to achieve complete sterilization of the instruments used;
- Not everyone knows the location of active biological points that affect the functioning of internal organs; puncturing them can cause harm to health.
New trend: one earring for two holes
In recent years, young people have increased interest in non-standard earrings with two holes. Or as they also call “orbital piercing”: two punctures are made, through which one earring resembling an orbit is threaded.
Rings, chains, two studs connected to each other by a chain, or a twister - a spiral resembling a coil of a spring - are used as earrings.
In addition to ordinary earrings, other jewelry is also inserted into the ear. For example, a straight rod that pierces the ear at two points and is fixed with a ball or cone.
How to choose a piercing site
According to doctors, the most suitable place for piercing is the center of the earlobe with an offset of 1 millimeter to the cheek. Sterilization of instruments and correctly selected puncture site will ensure rapid healing without complications in the form of inflammatory processes. The best way out of the situation would be to entrust the choice of the place where the second hole in the ear will be located to a specialist.
Ear piercing salons have certain tools that can be used to accurately locate the piercing site. Medical professionals have long been debating the benefits and harms of numerous ear piercings. But so far they have not come to a common conclusion on this matter. The main danger is infection through the blood if the piercing instruments are not sterile.
Which ear should I pierce for the second earring?
As already noted, the choice of ear does not matter, so we suggest focusing on the piercing site and considering popular options:
- Duplicate earlobe piercing. Provides another earring next to the main piercing. This is a completely classic option, and perhaps the most popular. It is noteworthy that even older ladies who want to keep up with fashion trends love it. There are many photos in which women over 50 show off with three earrings. The earring model is selected purely from personal preferences. Some people like a minimalist nail, others like a broach. A pair of several rings of different diameters looks original in one ear;
- Cartilage piercing. More daring fashionistas decide to wear it. The puncture is done either in the middle of the ear or on top. The feeling of a cartilage piercing is practically no different from an earlobe piercing. Most often, a stud or barbell is worn in the cartilage;
- Tragus puncture. The tragus is located closer to the cheek and is presented in the form of a cartilaginous protrusion in the center of the auricle. Note that this place is painful, although the earring takes root well on it. Here it is customary to wear a stud or a small ring;
- Industrial piercing. It is an informal technique and is common among people of creative professions, especially musicians. The puncture is made in several places of the cartilage, in the upper part of the auricle. A long rod is inserted there, passing through all the punctures. For clarity, it is better to look at the photo;
- Tunnel. Suitable for the most daring fashionistas. The puncture hole is enlarged in several stages using a special stretcher, then the tunnel itself is inserted there. The diameter of the stretch is limited by imagination. We advise you to familiarize yourself with the photo of the method, since it is not to everyone’s taste.
As you can see from the photo, modern fashion offers a lot of options for a woman in which ear to insert the second earring. Choose options to suit your personal taste and don’t be afraid of change.
Piercing options
There are some piercing options and their features:
- A couple of punctures on the lobe are a classic.
- A puncture in the upper half of the ear (helix) is a painful place and can take a long time to heal.
- Tragus piercing is a piercing in the area of the auditory canal in the upper cartilage.
- Industrial piercing is a pair of piercings in the upper curve of the shell, near the face.
- For therapeutic purposes, an additional second hole is made in the girl’s ear to relieve frequent headaches and stressful situations (which has not been proven by traditional medicine).
- Tunnel piercing is performed only in a clinic by a doctor (this procedure requires pain relief).
Which ear to pierce for girls, the second hole in what place of the ear should be - the decision is theirs. You can pierce a second hole in the left, right, or both at once, the choice is up to the female representatives. Prejudices regarding the belonging of wearers of ear jewelry to any minorities have disappeared into oblivion.
On which ear do girls wear their second earring?
You won’t surprise anyone with earrings in both ears, so more and more girls are resorting to piercing the second ear. This attracts the views of others and shows the originality of the individual. Which ear to place under the second puncture does not make much of a difference. Piercing masters, answering the question: on which ear the second earring is pierced, note that this is a matter of imagination, not prejudice. Someone decides to make an additional puncture in both the left and right ear at the same time, which is even more piquant. There are a lot of photos on the Internet with similar examples, which indicates the popularity of this approach.
Piercing process
Before deciding where the second hole in the ear will be, you need to make sure that the chosen location is correct and there are no contraindications. Contraindications include:
- injuries and bruises of the head in general and the ears in particular;
- poor blood clotting;
- allergy to medical gold;
- ear diseases;
- acute pancreatic diseases;
- skin diseases;
- nervous and mental disorders.
If there are no contraindications, you can pierce your ears in the places indicated by a specialist. To correctly select the place where the second hole in the ear should be pierced, there is a map of active biological points. This map contains an indication of the places where piercing is allowed without causing harm to health.

Ear piercing with a gun
Clinic specialists use a gun for piercing. The selected point where the second hole will be pierced in the girl’s ear is treated with a bactericide. The gun pierces the hole and automatically installs the gold-plated jewelry. The entire procedure is carried out under sterile conditions, which eliminates the risk of infection. Needles are used to puncture cartilaginous points, and cone-shaped stretchers are used for tunnels.
A correctly selected place where you need to pierce the second hole in the ear, and the installed noble metal will not cause harm to the body. Repeated ear piercings can lead to tissue growth, as well as cartilage growths and scarring. There is a possibility of a negative impact of multiple punctures on hearing. The most unpleasant thing is the development of insensitivity to pain.
Does it hurt to get your ears pierced a second time?
People experience pain differently. For some, ear piercing is a very noticeable and painful procedure. Others claim that piercing the earlobe is not painful at all, but rather unpleasant. The second puncture will hardly feel any different from the first.
And if you had your first puncture as a child, then roughly speaking, this procedure is about 3 out of 10, and even pricking the cartilage does not hurt.
Cartilage
Separately, you need to consider cartilage puncture. If a girl had her earlobes pierced, and it was decided to make a second puncture in the cartilage, you need to prepare for the fact that the pain during the piercing will be stronger. Cartilage tissue is much denser than the lobe and it is more difficult to pierce it, therefore, the pain when piercing the cartilage will be a little stronger.
Those who have done industrial and helix note that the procedure is not painful, but industrial takes longer to heal .
Piercing for men
For men, the recent fashion trend is still controversial. The strict upbringing of the old days still affects them. The meaning of the piercing on the right lobe implies a “blue” trend that came from time immemorial. Even pirates made punctures on the left side to please the sea god. Therefore, modern men can safely decorate their ears with piercings and remain confident in their masculinity.
In the old days in Rus', old people in Kuban also wore an earring in their ear. This is clearly seen in the film "Quiet Don".
At this time, the question of which ear to pierce, whether to make a second hole, is not so important. Wearing jewelry in a set or one at a time is also an individual choice for everyone.
Contraindications and care
Ear piercings fall into the category of minor surgery. But they also have contraindications. This:
- allergy to metals;
- severe traumatic brain injury and its consequences;
- poor blood clotting, anemia;
- weak immunity;
- acute otitis media, inflammation of the middle ear;
- diabetes;
- skin diseases;
- high fever, flu, acute respiratory infections;
- mental disorders;
- neuroses;
- joint diseases.
After punctures, even if they were made with pistols, you need to carefully monitor the ear. The holes should be wiped several times a day with a cotton swab dipped in antiseptic. Alcohol or peroxide is allowed to be used only ten days after surgery. It is necessary to prevent water and dirt from entering the punctures. You cannot twist the earring inserted into the hole! If the area around the hole is swollen, begins to hurt and fester, you need to consult a doctor who will prescribe proper treatment.
The second earring in the ear gives girls a unique charm and charm. The hole for it can be made from any side. The main thing is to choose a safe puncture option that does not cause too much pain and find the most suitable jewelry option for each occasion. And then the young beauty will always look modern, stylish and attractive.

Transverse view of earlobe piercing
Transverse ear piercing is one of the most unusual and original types of piercing. The puncture is made through the earlobe perpendicularly.
First punctures
The first holes in my ears were pierced when I was 6 years old.
My grandmother worked at a clinic and took me there. The doctor made punctures with a thin medical needle. Did it hurt? I do not remember…
But when I went to 1st grade, the teacher was very wary of pierced ears. She raised two daughters, and apparently considered all the boys to be hooligans... She was afraid that they might rip off her earrings. I had to take them off...
As a result, my holes are overgrown...
And since I really wanted the earrings, I had to
pierce them again.
This is something I will never forget!
They pierced me again at the clinic, but this time for the “bumps” that had formed. I screamed at all three floors... But then I walked beautifully
