Transverse lobe piercing
A transverse lobe runs across the earlobe rather than through it: the bar enters at one edge and exits at the other, so both balls show from the front. 6 models in stock.
Other ear zones
Against an ordinary lobe piercing
An ordinary lobe piercing crosses 2–3 mm of tissue; this one runs the whole width of the lobe. The length of the channel is what makes it harder.
A long bar
A straight 1.2 mm barbell at 16–20 mm, measured to your own lobe.
Healing
From two months, usually longer.
Size and material
| Material | 316L steel — 6 models. Cheaper, corrosion-resistant, suitable for a healed piercing. For the first jewellery titanium is the better choice. |
|---|---|
| Thickness | 1.2 mm — 6 models, 1 mm — 1 model. The thickness must match the one the piercing was made with. |
| Bar length | 10 mm — 6 models, 6 mm — 6 models, 8 mm — 6 models, 25 mm — 1 model. A longer bar is needed while the swelling lasts, a shorter one — for a healed piercing. |
