While a certain puncture in your skin may not be glamorous itself, there are plenty of ways to express yourself in a graceful way using certain piercings. Elegant piercings are all about how you rock a certain piece of jewelry to flawlessly complement your look. Piercing Models made a list of the piercings that are ultra-easy to dress up for an exquisite vibe, and we’ve made it our mission to share these notes with you!
Upper Lip Piercings (Medusa or Monroe)
Even with basic labret jewelry, upper lip piercings are classic. The Medusa accentuates the top lips and cupid’s bow, while the Monroe is meant to reflect the birthmark that’s been a timeless indication of beauty. Add a gemmed end, tiny stud or metallic shape, and this look becomes even more stunning. To really nail your look, always make sure that your labret bar is well fitted so that the end sits evenly on your skin.
Septum Piercings
There are plenty of different ways to wear a septum piercing, and elegance may not right for some. However, a tightly-fitted clicker or captive ring can work wonders to accentuate your beauty. Enhance this with a stacked ring or dainty gem arrangement of your choosing to kick it up to the next level. Clickers are especially easy to snap on, so that makes them our jewelry of choice!
Nostril Piercings
While rings are the more popular and assertive jewelry for a nostril piercing, the flipside is a nose screw. Nose screws discreetly twist into your piercing and often have a colored or gemmed end to add some personality to your nostril piercing. It’s a discreet way to wear your piercing that isn’t outright showy, but the right light can really help it get the attention it deserves.
Tragus Piercings
The tragus piercing punctures the tiny piece of cartilage directly in front of your ear canal, and it’s perfect to dress up for a fancy occasion. While tragus piercings can always be worn with rings of many kinds, the option to wear it with a labret stud immediately enhances its style. Ends with a gem, shape or cluster bring it to the next level and show how classic and elegant tragus piercings can really be.
Daith Piercings
Cartilage piercings may be a dime a dozen, but the daith piercing stands out from the rest. It’s located in the center of the inner ear cartilage and is often worn with a hoop or ring. Even though it’s easy to stick with a standard hoop and call it good, a stacked ring or gemmed clicker can do wonders to make your daith piercing pop. Daith piercings are already discreet under longer hair, so why not add some shimmer for an opulent surprise!
Hello! My name is Emily and I obsessed with piercings (and tattoos) since I was a little girl of 6 years old. I was fortunate enough to make my passion my work after meeting my amazing husband Jeffrey who owned his own tattoo shop. I just recently finished my internships at some of America’s most famous piercing shops and a dream to start something together was born. After falling in love with each other (and each other’s piercings and tattoos) we decided to expand his tattoo shop and I got to manage my own piercing shop in the same space! I’ve never been so happy being able to share my love for piercings through my shop and this blog I started back in 2013. We love to share models and inspiration, so feel free to email me your suggestions, pictures or if you just want to say hi!
