5 Less Common Piercings to Consider

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCSB chapter.

College is the perfect time to rebel against societal norms. A popular way to do so is through new piercings. With Precious Slut Tattoo and Piercing located conveniently on Embarcadero Del Norte, all your piercing dreams can come true. One thing to consider is how certain styles have become too mainstream, so here’s a list of five rad piercings to try out.

 

1. Eyebrow

Getting a crescent shaped ring through your already perfectly manicured brow will look so sexy.

 

2. Nipple

It’s true that getting your nipple pierced hurts big time. However, a little pain for a lot of gain is probably worth it. This piercing is fun because it can be your own little secret.

 

3. Lip Ring

I am 100% completely biased because I have my lip pierced. However, I got it two years ago on a whim and have loved it every day since. It is a perfect way to tell the world that you’re just a little bit edgy.

 

4. Septum

In the past few years it seems like there’s been major diversification of septum jewelry. The rings vary in size, color and design and can compliment your every outfit or mood.

 

5. Conch

This piercing is located within your ear, which makes it distinctive from the normal ear piercings that line up from the cartilage to the ear lobe.  

 

Take a risk, live a little, be young, wild and free, and go stick a needle through a random part of your body because #yolo!
