Which Piercings Will Be Trending in 2026?
2026 Piercing Trends
We’ve pierced a million ears this year. Here’s what we think will be trending for 2026!
The Conch Piercing
A conch piercing is a cartilage piercing in the bowl-shaped part of the ear. We pierce the conch with flat back piercing jewelry. The conch is quite a versatile piercing. Depending on the rest of your stack, you can choose to use a small stud, larger statement stud, endless hoop, or a curved bar to embrace natural curvature of the conch anatomy.
The Flat Piercing
A flat piercing is a cartilage piercing on the upper, more flat part of the ear, below the helix. The flat is a common place for a larger, statement piece! We love to style Flat piercings with the 14k Opal Drop Flat Back Stud & 14k Diamond Flower Flat Back Stud. Hoops are not typically placed in the flat.
The Constellation Piercing
A constellation piercing is a lobe piercing that sits above existing lobe piercings, creating a cluster formation in the lobe. We love styling constellation piercings with dainty piercing styles, like our 14k Ball Trinity Flat Back Stud or 14k Mini Lightning Bolt Flat Back Stud.
