Piercing Guide
If you're thinking about getting a piercing in Barcelona, this guide will help you learn about all the types of piercings available.
Here you'll find the name of each piercing and its location, from the most classic, like the lobe piercing, to more daring options in the cartilage or in areas like the tragus, daith, or flat. This way, you can choose the style that best suits you and plan how to combine several pieces to achieve a unique ear style.
Whether it's your first piercing or you're looking to expand your collection, it's a good idea to consider your daily routine. Lobe piercings are often the first choice due to their quick healing and low pain levels. For athletes, piercings like the conch or rook are comfortable and secure; while if you frequently wear earplugs, it may be best to avoid areas like the tragus or daith.
Below we've provided a complete glossary of piercings so you can find the perfect one for you.
