It's official: Getting an extra ear piercing is on trend. There are lots of gorgeous curated ear-piercing photos floating around Instagram and Pinterest, and if you're ready for more, the best place to have it done is at a reputable tattoo and piercing parlor.
Trained piercers at tattoo parlors use a hollow needle to create a hole in your ear, as opposed to the piercing guns. ICYDK, hollow needle is always better than a piercing gun, always. The gun uses blunt force to puncture your ear, which may lead to major tissue trauma. On the other hand, a hollow needle removes a small amount of skin and tissue to make way for your new piercing. This practice allows more room for the earring, and the hole heals faster.
