Classical and Wackier Industrial Piercing Ideas

An industrial piercing is definitely eye-catching. A true accessory for your ear, this type of piercing consists of two holes. There are classical industrial piercings ideas, which are based on making two holes that are connected with the help of a long, straight jewelry, but also wackier ideas that combine one or more bars, which aren’t necessarily straight. What’s certain is that you need to pierce your ear cartilage twice in order to wear an industrial design. The upper ear consists of thin cartilage that is easier to pierce than the conch area for example. People from the UK refer to it as the bar. However, you might also hear about the scaffold piercing and the construction piercing. They are all the same thing.

The pain factor

We’re talking about two perforations during the same session, so you can think of double pain compared to a regular piercing. Even so, the piercing itself will feel more like a pinch. This applies to diagonal and horizontal scaffold piercings. Things are a little different with the vertical ones because the cartilage might be thicker. Bleeding may be involved, but that’s not something that should scare you, especially if you are going to a professional piercing technician. The blood clots will be removed when you wash the piercing for the first time and they will not be an inconvenient anymore. Moreover, it is recommended to let the blood clots harden because that stops the bleeding.

Let’s take a look at some industrial piercing ideas and learn about prices at the end!
