This piercing is placed through the lobule of the ear diagonally from one point to another the angle and depth will depend on the size of the lobe and any other piercings that may have been done. We have even done this through existing tunnels. Popular in 2010 to 2012 this piercing is difficult to do and only really experienced piercers will attempt it making it a less common piercing. While a titanium bar can be used for this piercing a flexible PTFE can be more confortable and allow for swelling and the curvature of the piercing.
In 2019 it is not on the top 10 ear piercing list and is definitely for the adventurous piercing enthusiast and the experienced body piercer.
