This is how you can sooth a piercing itch:
Similar to an industrial piercing where two piercings are connected with a bar, the orbital piercings are connected with a small hoop.

With spring filling the air many people are looking for less-conventional ways to spruce up their looks.
International ear piercing trends offer the perfect look that will not only give you a bolder look but a beautifully curated ear that offers the most prominent piercing trends for everyday wear.
Here is a quick look at some of the hottest piercing trends:
Stacked lobe piercing
This one is a perfect entry-level choice.
It started with one, but now the curated ear has been elevated with second, third and more lobe piercings, stacked with the finest jewels. With stacking, there are so many options available to own your look.
Opt for evenly placed piercings or closely packed stacked lobes, creating something unique.

Snakebite piercing
In the world of body piercing, the term snakebite refers to two piercings on either side of your lower lip, but for your ears, it consists of any two piercings stacked closely together and slightly offset from other piercings.
These piercings look great with hoops or studs and you can mix and match earrings depending on your style.
Double helix piercing
Twice as much fun and twice the statement, double helix piercings offer more options for curation and play, allowing you to extend your stack further up the outer rim of your ear.
The best helix piercing jewellery is a stud at first, but after healing, you can use hoops, drop earrings and more.
Parallel piercing
Whether stacking the lobe vertically or mirroring the helix to the lobe with two-of-a-kind jewels, parallel piercings make a perfect pair.
Starting with simple studs, this piercing is versatile and will look amazing with any piercings you add later on.

Constellation piercing
A constellation piercing refers to small pieces spaced very closely together.
This cluster of multiple piercings creates a unique pattern on the ear, with the result being an intentionally random group of studs and gems resembling a constellation.
No two constellation piercings look the same, so the possibilities are endless.
Orbital piercing
A combination of two ear piercings connected by one piece of jewellery often featured on the lobe or helix region.
Similar to an industrial piercing where two piercings are connected with a bar, the orbital piercings are connected with a small hoop.
Stacked ear piercing
It’s like an ear party with these neatly stacked piercings set along the outer contour of the ear.
Balancing, matching and curating the perfect ear stack across upward of five piercings per ear can prove a tricky task so move rather than opting for studs or plain pieces.
Triple forward helix piercing
This adventurous trilogy piercing is eye-catching when the focus is kept purely on the forward helix and graduated jewels that follow the contour of the ear.

Mix it up with contrasting gold and gemstone studs rather than matching ones.
Vertical lobe piercing
Two studs stacked on top of each other for vertical sparkle, it is a great solution to balance out an existing lobe piercing that wasn’t placed properly.
It’s also a popular style for those just starting their piercings.
Stacked hoop piercing
Hoop earrings are particularly hot at the moment.
Keep it simple with a stacked lobe or helix piercing by stacking hoops in varying sizes.
Conch or double conch piercing
Located in the central part of the ear, it’s one of the easiest piercings to customise.
A double conch allows one to get a little wild with the middle ear cartilage and because the placement is such a classic these days, it will never go out of style.
When considering ear piercing, Ryan Middleton of Black Betty Jewellery and Piercing while keeping trends in mind, knowing your unique ear shape is just as important.
“Ears are as unique as fingerprints. Some earrings will fit perfectly on one individual but not on another,” he said.
