Most Popular Piercing Trends in Some Parts of the World
Ever wondered what type of piercings are currently becoming or are already a trend in other parts of the world? You don’t need to travel far to know. We’ll spill the beans right here—so go ahead and get some inspo for your next piercing while we’re at it!
THE U.S.
Parts of America, like celebrity capital Los Angeles, are seeing the next wave of constellation piercings. That is, artful groupings that don't follow a set pattern or style. This latest uptick combines three styles that are popular around the globe right now: daith, conch, and helix piercings on the ear. Meanwhile in New York, it’s all about the so-called “flat” that floats in the cartilage of the ear.
CANADA
Constellation ear piercings are also big in Canada. But aside from that, many Canadians are raving about the septum, which gets a fancy upgrade, thanks to ornate hoops.
KOREA
These days, multiple ear piercing continues to be one of the most popular must-haves of K-Pop idols. From industry icon G-Dragon, to Jennie of girl group BlackPink, who is emerging as a style icon favoring expensive designer accessories, these K-Pop idols are never complete in their fashion game without their multiple studs. While piercings were once regarded as a symbol of a “Bad Boy” or “Bad Girl” image, a lot of young Koreans—taking cues from popular celebrities—are now able to have pierced their ears multiple times without fear of judgment from the public.
ITALY
Sticky summers in Italy scream for updos. The best way to show yours off? With a dermal piercing placed at the nape of the neck.
BRAZIL
With their beautiful beaches and sunny climate, people from Brazil get the most incredible tanned skin—and they like to show it off, because, why the hell not? And while we’re at the topic of some skin showing, Brazilians also like to don their bodies with dermal piercings. You can catch this trend among locals and frequent beach goers.
UNITED KINGDOM
Want an unforgettable smile? Forget about teeth whitening. Do like many women in the UK and go for a “smiley” piercing, which strings a bent barbell through the small fold of tissue inside the mouth near the upper lip (known as the frenulum) and adds a pop of bling to your happy face.
