2020 and the first half of 2021 were affected by the corona pandemic drawn. Instead of glamor outfits, there were sweatshirts and jogging pants, make-up was the exception for many thanks to the home office and jewelry? Never mind. In the meantime, however, pre-corona everyday life is returning and with it stylish clothes, but also body jewelry are experiencing a renaissance. But which piercings are particularly in demand in 2022? Let's go through the piercing trends together:

These are the 8 piercing trends for 2022

Which new body piercings are allowed? In 2022 you have a wide choice, especially when it comes to ear piercings. Some of the piercing types will surely still look familiar to you as popular piercing trends 2021. The big trend that will definitely apply to all piercings in 2022 is: individualization! Now that we've kept quiet for quite a while with exciting outfits and fashion statements, we can hardly wait to stylishly underline our personality again in the new year. Watch out, maybe there is something in the piercing trends for you:

Piercing trend curated ears

One of the biggest piercing trends in 2022, as in 2021 and 2020, are ear piercings - and lots of them at once. Because one earring is no longer enough! The whole thing is called “curated ear”. Best of all: The piercing trend comes with individual design options, so perfect for our unofficial trend motto 2022: Be individual!

A cool, new twist: cluster piercings, i.e. several piercings of the same type in a row. For example, why just one helix piercing when you can have two? Here you should also know the term snakebite piercing, which in 2022 no longer only stands for the two piercings at one end of the lower lip, but means all piercings of the same type that have a distance like a snake bite.

Bermuda triangle piercing trend

Another piercing trend for 2022 that you can implement on the ear, but in principle also on other parts of the body, is the Bermuda triangle constellation. Means: three piercings, which together form a triangular shape. Looks cool, for example, if you already have two classic ear piercings in one ear and then just have a third one pierced above. Or

Piercing trend conch piercing

The conch piercing is also very popular in 2022. It is pierced through the auricle, so the puncture channel is inside the ear. Here you can either insert a plug or, for example with an orbital conch, wear a ring from the inside of the ear to the outside.

Tragus piercing trend

The tragus piercing is also trendy. It is located on the small piece of cartilage above the auditory canal. You can also wear a ring here, but usually a sparkling stud is the perfect eye-catcher here. Here you can see a tragus piercing in the middle as a plug:

Helix piercing trend

The classic helix piercing is also one of the most popular ear piercings. It is placed at the top of the bead-like border on the ear and can be pierced there either individually or in multiple versions. Both with plugs and rings, it just looks great!

Septum piercing trend (in the subtle version)

Zoe Kravitz, Bella Thorne, FKA Twigs and many other stars have long declared the septum to be their trademark. Hardly any other piercing has been as hyped in recent years as the nose ring in the middle. And in 2022, the nose will remain a trend hotspot for piercings...

... and not just for septums!

Piercing trend for high nostril piercing

Even if the septum piercing was THE trend piercing par excellence for the nose for a long time, the classic nose piercing on the nostril will also be popular in 2022. Stars like Katy Perry have long been fans. And we too think it's a great retro piercing trend for 2022!

Piercing trend: high-quality instead of cheap jewelry

In general, the piercing trend for 2022 can still be identified that many prefer high-quality jewelry to cheap piercing jewelry. These include, for example, natural stones, Swarovski zirconia or gold attachments. In general, gold and rose gold are in demand as alternatives to classic silver in piercing jewelry. So if you are interested in one of the trend piercings for 2022, then it is best to get some great, timeless and valuable studs and rings that you will enjoy for a long time. Last but not least, your ear will thank you for the high-quality materials, because many piercing sites also react irritated to cheap materials (e.g. due to a nickel allergy).

Which piercing trend 2022 do you like best? Do you like it conspicuous and would you wear a piercing in the middle of the face or something more hidden, for example on the ears?

Maybe it's something for you?

Fake piercings instead of real piercings: no bond for eternity

If you just don't really dare to get a real piercing, then do it browse through the large selection of fake piercings that are now available.
