Industrial bar, anyone?
Piercings are increasingly becoming a way to enhance your unique style.
People want that personalization, Beth Moeri, the chief merchandising officer atClaires, tells Bustle.
And working and schooling from home have amplified that.
Keep scrolling to check out what experts predict will be big in the body art world.
1Asymmetry
Gone are the days of rocking identical piercings on both ears.
If you want to getsecond or third holes on one lobebut not the other, go for it!
2Mixing & Matching
Complimenting the asymmetry trend is the rise ofmixing and matching jewelry.
Feel free to mix gold and silver hoops or stick a pearl next to a diamond stud.
5Snakebites
The snakebite piercing, made popular byKaia Gerberback in 2019, will continue to stick around.
But the style is moving just a bit in 2022.
In 2022, I think well see snakebite piercings in places like theforward helixandconch.
The more unique the location, the better in 2022.
These are placed in the middle and flat area located between your ear canal and cartilage.
7Trilogy
Three piercings, aka the trilogy, is another body art trend to watch for.
The trilogy goes right next to where you would have the first piercing, Moeri says.
We are seeing more on the lobe, but with an upward look.
That means you get three times the opportunity to mix and match your jewelry.
8Constellation Arrangements
These can be done anywhere with enough space for multiple piercings.
There are diverse ways they can be displayed and hidden with convenience, he tells Bustle.
10Conch
Alvarado seesconch piercingsbecoming more popular for good reason.
Besides looking cool, she notes they heal nicely.
Theyre also versatile when it comes to jewelry options, she says.
While some may choose a small and subtle earring, others can go with a larger statement piece.
Ive seen these styled in all different ways using hoops and/or studs, she tells Bustle.
12Ear Cuffs
You dont have to have actual piercings to partake in this trend.
