Ear piercings are awesome, that’s a fact. And there’s never been a better time than now to get them! With there being tons of different places to pierced on the ear (lobe, daith, tragus, helix…) and a huge range of different jewellery available (rings, studs, plugs…) there’s an incredible amount of looks available! And one of the most awesome recent trends in piercings, asymmetrical piercings, really blows the doors open when it comes to creative looks! Never before has it been easier to get a look that’s uniquely *you*, with asymmetrical piercings offering the chance to get a unique look for each ear. Why bother with matching ears when you go for something so more original? Without further ado, here are top tips on how to make your asymmetrical piercings look work for you! Make sure your ears are looking as awesome as possible! ### **Surprise Yourself** The first rule when it comes to asymmetrical piercings… Don’t play it safe – surprise yourself! The problem with symmetrical piercings is that they always look to tidy and formal. While some can look great, it has to be said that most symmetrical piercing looks are a bit of a snoozefest! So go wild. Put a stud here, a ring there and, oh, how about a stretcher over here too? There’s no better way to express your identity than through asymmetrical piercings. Secure yourself a look that’ll get your friends talking! ### Interesting Placements Like we said before, there are a heck ton of places to get pierced on your ears. Lobe! Daith! Helix! Conch! Rook! Snug! Tragus! (Okay, we’ll stop there because the list really will go on forever.) With so much choice out there, why not just go wild? Take advantage of all the different piercing area choices and try to combine them in unique and original ways. There’s nothing wrong with playing it safe when it comes to piercing placements, but being a bit adventurous can be so rewarding! ### Rework Old Piercings Another great thing about asymmetrical piercings? They can be a fantastic way to breathe new life into old piercings! Think your old earlobe piercings look super snooze-worthy with plain silver studs in them? Why not stick a pentagram themed stud in one ear and a colourful ring in the other? A simple change of jewellery can really rejuvenate old piercings if you’re looking for an easy way to shake up your look. ### Check Out Celeb Looks  some asymmetrical inspiration, there’s no better place to look than celebrities. Billy Idol, Kesha, Kate Moss… These celebs have been trendsetters in a number of ways, so it’s not too surprising that they’ve all sported asymmetrical piercing looks at one stage or another. You should definitely check out how they work their piercings if you want a look that really stands out on its own. ### Constellation Style We’ve already written **[a whole article about how awesome constellation piercings](https://www.bluebanana.com/news/constellation-piercings-essential-info/)** are, but we feel like it’s worth touching on them again. Constellations are a great way to make use of your piercings, forcing them to work off each other, and they really promote asymmetrical uniqueness. No two ears look the same! We’re particularly in love with this triangle constellation piercing look, which we think offers a great way to light up one your ears. Splashing out on an awesome constellation look on one ear and going low-key on the other one can be a really great way to get a unique appearance! So if you’re ready to pimp your piercings, consider giving an asymmetrical look a go!
