If you’ve been dreaming of upgrading your look and showing off your personality, 2025 is the perfect year to do it! Ear piercings have become the ultimate way to mix self-expression with style, and at PRICKED Piercing on State Street in the heart of Madison, WI, we’re here to keep you on-trend while staying safe and stylish. Let’s dive into the hottest ear piercing styles taking over this year.
1. Stacked Lobes: A Minimalist Must-Have
Lobe piercings are timeless, but stacking them takes it to a whole new level. Add 2-3 studs or small hoops along your earlobe for a layered, chic look that screams effortless cool. Mix metals like gold and titanium or pair tiny gemstones with classic shapes for extra flair.
Pro Tip: At PRICKED Piercing, we offer implant-grade jewelry options that are both stylish and safe, perfect for stacked lobe piercings!
2. Constellation Piercings: Celestial Vibes
Constellation piercings are still shining in 2025! This trend involves strategically placing multiple tiny studs or hoops to mimic the appearance of stars in a night sky. Whether you want a subtle arrangement or a dramatic cluster, this style is endlessly customizable.
Why We Love It: Our expert piercers at PRICKED Piercing can help design a constellation pattern that’s unique to your ear and personality.
3. Curated Ear: Your Ear, Your Canvas
The curated ear trend isn’t going anywhere. Combine different piercing types—like helix, tragus, and conch—with jewelry that mixes textures, shapes, and metals for a one-of-a-kind aesthetic. The key to a curated ear is balance and flow, which our professionals specialize in.
Hot Tip: PRICKED Piercing is known for creating perfectly curated ears as edgy and elegant as your unique style. Stop in to design yours!
4. Forward Helix Piercings: Subtle and Stylish
The forward helix is a sleek option for anyone looking for something subtle yet impactful. Pair it with tiny hoops or studs to create a modern, streamlined look. It’s perfect for adding a little edge to your curated ear without going overboard.
5. Edgy Industrial Piercings
Industrial piercings are making a bold comeback in 2025. This double-piercing style connects two cartilage piercings with a barbell, creating a striking and edgy vibe. At PRICKED Piercing, we’ll ensure the angles and jewelry placement are perfect for your ear’s anatomy.
Pro Tip: Pair your industrial barbell with charms or minimalist designs for a fresh twist on a classic style.
6. Daith Piercings: Functional Meets Fashionable
Daith piercings continue to be a favorite for their rumored migraine-relieving benefits (results vary!) and their striking appearance. A gold hoop or delicate charm is perfect for making your daith piercing stand out.
7. Mismatched Metals and Charms
Mixing metals and incorporating charms is all the rage this year. Pair gold and titanium or add delicate chains, stars, or gemstones for a playful, personalized vibe. This trend works beautifully across multiple piercings and adds an element of fun to any look.
