This is the upper cartilage area of the ear, it's thin so it isn't the most painful but will be more than the pinch felt with an earlobe piercing. The helix is suitable for everyone and can be pierced multiple times depending on the size of the ear.

AKA anti-helix is the part of the helix where the cartilage  attaches to the head above the tragus. Like the helix, the cartilage is quite thin but can take longer to heal as it's more exposed to bacteria. As this is a small area it may not be suited to everyone.

Healing time between 6-12 months

The tragus is the triangular piece of cartilage to the side of your ear canal. It's thick so you may feel some pressure. The shape of the tragus varies greatly from person to person however if your tragus is too thin or too small you  may not be able to get this piercing.

The anti-tragus is the triangular cartilage just above the earlobe. It's a very small area and some people aren’t right for it. If your cartilage is too small you can opt for an upper lobe piercing which looks similar and wont hurt as much.

The daith is the inner fold of cartilage just above the ear canal. It's a popular choice for treating migraines and chronic headaches as it's believed that when the piercing hits this acupressure point, known as the vagus nerve, it can help relieve migraine pain.

The conch is  the cartilage at the middle of the ear and can be pierced in different ways - The inner conch is lower in the ear and usually decorated with a  stud. The outer conch is closer to the helix  and looks great with a large hoop around the edge of the ear.

The snug is the thick cartilage on the outer edge of your ear, the jewellery sits horizontally with both ends visible from the front making it a unique and unusual piercing.  It's more painful as the needle needs to pass through two layers of cartilage.  If the area is too flat you may not be able to get this piercing.

The rook is the fold of cartilage in front of the forward-helix, if the fold isn't pronounced enough it wont be able to be pierced. Like the snug both ends of the jewellery is visible from the front but this time it sits vertically.

AKA Industrial, is a combination of two piercings, one at the helix and the other towards the forward-helix, connected by a single straight piece of jewellery. Not everyone's ears are suited to this if the top of your ear is too curved the bar wont sit correctly and won't be able to be pierced.
