For a few seasons now, you might have noticed we've been using the term "layering" not only in the context of clothing but in the context of jewelry as well. Applying to rings, bracelets, and necklaces, this trend has been a fashion favorite, and it doesn't seem like it's going anywhere anytime soon. It has become the trend both minimalists and maximalists can enjoy because it mostly consists of stacking up your favorite dainty jewelry until you believe it's too much… or still not enough. However, our favorite jewelry layering trend must be when we’re able to show off our double (even triple) piercings.
Just like with layering necklaces, it's all about mixing and matching. Whether it's big hoops with small ones, earrings with charms, throwing in some studs as well, or even mixing gold with silver, the combinations are endless. Fortunately, if you’ve spotted these ear parties on your favorite celebrities and Instagram style stars and you want to get on the bandwagon, we’ve got you covered. Ahead, we’ve rounded up the best earrings for double piercings at every price point. In the lineup, you will most likely find the earrings you were missing to complete your layering combo. Warning: If you don’t have a second piercing already, this list may encourage you to head to your nearest tattoo parlor.

A double ear piercing is two consecutive single piercings placed next to each other on the lower part of the earlobe. Often, double ear piercings are done one at a time—that is, a single ear piercing is done, then the second is added later.
How do you wear earrings with multiple piercings? As you move up the ear, stack earrings from biggest to smallest, or from statement pieces to simpler ones. Because you don't have a ton of room to work with, avoid too many sizable pieces (an inch is enough) or showy details, like tassels.
You can say: “Mom, Dad, I want to get another ear piercing. It's my favorite way to express myself, and I'd really like your permission to get it done.”
Or, say, “Hey Mom. I've been thinking that I want another piercing, but I wanted to make sure it's okay with you first.”
Second ear piercings can offer a cool and edgy look, or provide a balanced look to your image, they give you more options and they get noticed. But they can take longer to heal, they may close up quicker and can of course be painful.
The good news is that there are no rules when it comes to showcasing your piercings. Multiple piercings can create a wealth of styling possibilities, no matter your personal taste. Simply curate a unique look with your earrings and you are sure to be the centre of attention.
A fun way to wear mismatched earrings on each side is to wear one stud on one ear and one drop earring on the other ear. The set can match, or you can just choose two similar-looking earrings. That way, you're playing with asymmetry. Just make sure that whichever mismatched pair you choose isn't too mismatched.

Daith piercings are one of the most fun piercings to style! Located on the smallest fold of the cartilage in your ear, where the outer ridge of your ear meets your inner ear above the ear canal, this is a unique piercing that can handle a wow-worthy statement piece.
Your mom may have a lot of reasons for not wanting you to get your ears pierced. She may think you're too young.She may worry it's too expensive. Whatever her reason, try to listen.
If your first piercing was in the lobe, you can expect a similar sensation for a second lobe piercing, or slightly more discomfort for a cartilage piercing. If you started your ear party with a cartilage piercing and are now adding a second ear piercing in the lobe, you can expect this to be less painful.
If you have a double ear piercing, you could wear a small stud in one and a tiny gold huggie hoop in the the other. You can create an earring stack by starting with a statement earring like a chunky hoop in your lower lobe piercing, then build up towards your helix with smaller, complementary pieces like dainty hoops.
Conch piercings are one of the most attractive types of ear piercings. Named after a shell or a 'conch', these types of piercings are done in the center part of your ear. Since this is the ear area with the most space, conch earrings are one of the most customizable styles that open room for experimentation.
Finally, in modern times, the helix piercing has come to signify individuality and rebellion in punk and rock subcultures, while also being a fashion statement for people across many different lifestyles and cultures.
A double nose piercing has often been associated with beauty and social standing for thousands of years. Today, this piercing represents freedom, boldness, and edgy self-expression.
Piercings have been used to signify sociopolitical status; in Rome, septum piercings symbolized a gladiator's strength, while in Egypt, a belly button piercing signified godliness and was often worn by pharaohs.
Some years back, wearing a single earring or stud in the right ear was affiliated with hom*osexuality, but that has been disputed over time. Today, it's prevalent for men to wear earrings in one ear or both and the left ear or right ear alone, without it being considered a sexual signal.
