Piercing Trends of 2023

If you’re thinking of updating your look in 2023, getting a trendy piercing or a tattoo is a great way to do it. With the weather getting warmer, it’s the perfect time to get one as you shed layers of thick clothing to show off some skin. The best part about piercings is that you can change your jewelry as often as you like (once your piercing has healed, of course) to match your clothes, your mood or even the weather if you fancy. Read on for some inspiration for your brand-new look for 2023.

Conch Piercings: The conch piercing is a form of ear piercing that looks great on most people. The inner ear is the perfect place to add a little bit of bling. Add a little crystal, a tiny hummingbird, a paw print or a snake to complement your style. Conch piercings are awesome as the inner ear is large enough for jewelry that makes a statement and since it’s a forward-facing piercing, everyone you talk to will see it easily.

Eyebrow Piercings: Eyebrow piercings were really popular in the late 90s and early 2000s. Which means they’re back with a bang! 90s nostalgia is in and so are the edgy looks that go with the time with a fresh modern take, of course. While you can still opt for the classic side placements with a barbell, many are choosing to pierce the centres of their eyebrows with a ring as an updated version. 

Asymmetrical Ear Stacks: Ear stacks (multiple piercings on the sides of each ear) are definitely cool. You can push the trend even further by having different piercings on each ear. If you’re wondering how you’ll like the asymmetry in the future, you can still rock the look by choosing different pieces of jewelry for each piercing on both ears. Go as mis-matchy as you like to push the look.

Septum Piercings: A septum piercing just screams ‘cool’. Sit with the cool kids by getting a septum piercing. What’s awesome is that they are really versatile in terms of jewelry. You can choose to wear a barbell, a horseshoe septum ring, a barbell with beads on either side or a classic ring. These piercing are also easy to hide when you need to look ultra formal – all you need to do is remove your jewelry and no one will be any wiser. 

The Labret Piercing: Labret piercings are back with the nostalgia too. There are multiple different types of labret piercings you can get. You can read all about them in this article. Slightly sexy and oh-so-cool, the labret piercing makes a statement wherever you go. 

Belly Button Piercing: Moving away from the high waists of the past few years, low rise jeans are back. With crop top season just around the corner, now is the time to get that navel piercing you’ve always wanted. That way it’ll be healed and ready for when you decide to shed those layers. Bling up your navel with a crystal like Britney Spears or go for an industrial look with a barbell. The choice is yours.  Whatever piercing you decide to get, remember to choose a piercing studio with piercing artists that care about their art and hygiene. Always follow the aftercare routine suggested by your piercer to make sure that your new piercing heals safely and well.  You can read about piercing aftercare in depth here.
