35 Stylish Earring Ideas for Multiple Piercings

I’ve been noticing the coolest stacks of earrings on both celebrities on the red carpet and on my Instagram feed. They make the person look instantly cool and give a great glimpse into their style.

Having multiple piercings can give you the freedom to play around with style and earring arrangements. Maybe you are thinking about getting a new piercing and trying to decide on placement.

Or maybe you already have lots of piercings but want to change up your look. Either way, there are so many fun ideas to try!

What ear piercings look good together?

If you’re getting a new piercing, you’ll likely want one that will look good with your existing piercings. If you already have a few lobe piercings, try adding a helix piercing for a simple and classic look.

Or, keep things all on your lower ear with a tragus, lobe, and orbital piercing. Make a statement with industrial, conch, and multiple lobe piercings.

Really, you can play around with your choice of ear piercings. Consider placement so things don’t get crowded and space out your piercings for a well curated ear. If you’re not sure what would look best, ask your piercing artist for advice on piercing location and coolest piercing trends.

Considerations for Your Ear Stack

The first consideration for creating the perfect combination of earrings is the size and shape of your ear. Larger lobes and ears will be able to rock some larger pieces that would overpower the look of a smaller ear.

Smaller lobes may be better for fewer piercings and you could add piercings on a higher part of the ear for your stack.

When you’re picking out earrings for your multiple piercings, it’s important to balance the look. You don’t want too many bold earrings on one ear; you should choose smaller, more delicate earrings to keep it balanced. So if you are wearing a big statement earring on your first hole, consider a simple earring like single studs on the next holes.

Also decide when you’re buying earrings whether you want both ears to match or if you’re going for an asymmetrical look. This matters so you know whether you need to purchase earrings in pairs.

35 Best Earring Ideas for Multiple Piercings

Here are some of my favorite ideas for how to style your ears and where to consider new piercings. And since many earrings can work for different piercings, check out all the earrings I’ve linked even if you don’t have the specific piercing I listed it under!

1. Earring Sets

Get the perfect ear stack with an earring set. A set will include a variety of earrings that will all match, making it easy to play around with arrangement. You can find a set that fits your personal style for a fool-proof ear party.

Add an ear cuff to your stack if you want a fun look without an additional piercing. There are endless options of ear cuffs, so you can easily find one that will match with your other earrings, and it’s the best thing to try if you aren’t sure whether (or where) you want to commit to a new piercing.

3. Multiple Lobe Piercings

If you’re just starting with one standard lobe piercing right now, double lobes are the obvious next choice. But third holes (or even fourth holes depending on the size of your ear lobe) can help you add on to your stack for that unique style you want!
