earscaping 101
Discover our key tips for curating your dream ear stack
Gone are the days when a single piercing was sufficient to make a style statement. Earscaping has elevated the art of adorning our ears to new heights, allowing us to curate stacks that reflect our individuality and sense of style.
One of the most exciting aspects of curated ear piercings is the opportunity to express your creativity. You can mix and match various earring styles, sizes, and metals to achieve a look that's entirely your own. Whether you prefer a minimalistic aesthetic, or a bold and eclectic vibe, piercings can be tailored to suit your personal style.
Before getting started with adding to your ear stack, keep in mind these key tips:
- Planning and Placement: Think about the overall aesthetic you want to achieve. Consider the shape of your ear, any existing piercings. We pierce a variety of placements from lobes to more advance placements like helix, daith, conch, trigs, rook and more.
- Jewelry Selection: With a wide range of 14k gold earring options available, select pieces that resonate with your style. Threaded flat-back studs are a poke-free, safe, and secure option when it comes to piercing jewelry. Since they are a low-profile backing, there is less risk of getting caught on hair and clothing, therefore promoting a better healing process. Combine studs and hoops for a balanced and dimensional stack.
- Gradual Additions: Remember, completed ear stacks aren't built in a day. It's an ongoing process where you can add new piercings and jewelry over time. This allows you to experiment and adapt your ear arrangement as you go.
