Lobe piercing

Diagram: Lobe piercing The earlobe is soft tissue without cartilage, so it is the fastest zone: 6–8 weeks of healing against 4–12 months in cartilage. It is where people start, and it is the easiest place to wear heavier dangles.

What goes into the lobe

The classic is a labret with a flat disc at the back: it does not catch on the pillow and does not press during sleep. A length of 6–8 mm covers most cases. For a healed piercing studs, barbells and rings all work too.

Thickness

The lobe standard is 1.0–1.2 mm. Piercing-gun earrings are often thicker and blunter, which is why the piercing heals longer. If the channel has already formed, go by the thickness of the jewellery you wore last.

Second and third piercing

The lobe takes several piercings in a row — the simplest way to build a composition without painful cartilage. For the upper piercings take shorter bars, because the tissue there is thinner.

Size and material

Material	Titanium — 25 models. Contains no nickel, so it causes no reaction even in a fresh piercing. Lighter than steel — less load on the tissue. The material of first choice. 316L steel — 12 models. Cheaper, corrosion-resistant, suitable for a healed piercing. For the first jewellery titanium is the better choice.
Thickness	1.2 mm — 26 models, 1 mm — 5 models, 0.8 mm — 3 models. The thickness must match the one the piercing was made with.
Bar length	6 mm — 23 models, 8 mm — 20 models, 10 mm — 12 models, 12 mm — 7 models. A longer bar is needed while the swelling lasts, a shorter one — for a healed piercing.
Ring diameter	8 mm — 15 models, 10 mm — 11 models, 6 mm — 7 models, 9 mm — 5 models. A smaller diameter sits tighter, a bigger one — looser and more visible.
Thread	Internal — 17 models, Threadless — 15 models, External — 3 models. An internal thread is hidden inside the bar — it does not scratch the channel when changing.
Insert	Cubic zirconia — 14 models, None — 10 models, Synthetic opal — 2 models.

FAQ

Which size should I choose?

The typical size for this zone is 1 mm thick. Jewellery smaller than needed presses on the channel, bigger — catches on clothes and hair. The exact size of each model is given on its page.

How long does an earlobe piercing take to heal?

The lobe heals in 6–8 weeks — faster than any other ear zone. But changing the jewellery earlier than a month is still not worth it.

Why is titanium better than steel?

Titanium is about half the weight and contains no nickel. 316L steel is also fit for wearing, but there is nickel in it, and people sensitive to nickel feel it. For a fresh piercing titanium is the safer choice.

Can titanium be worn all the time?

Yes. Titanium does not oxidise in contact with lymph and does not change colour, so it is not taken off at night or in the shower. The jewellery is worth removing only for cleaning — and only from a healed piercing: a fresh channel is not left empty.
