Deciding what the hottest piercings for girls are is really down to personal taste. Whether to go totally natural, have some simple ones or go wild, is really up to her. We thought it would be cool to think about what the hottest piercings are.
There’s literally no limit to what you can get pierced. From ears, to noses, nipples, navels and clits – there’s loads of surface level piercings available. It really depends on the individual person’s preferences and lifestyle as to what piercing styles they’ll go for.
Classic piercings are typically thought of as single lobe studs for earrings. Nose piercings which are traditional in Hindu and other Asian cultures but have become popular in the West. While navel piercings have definitely promoted a lot of celebrity careers.
Now though, more piercing options are available than ever before with options for genital piercings and dermal piercings growing in fashion.
Single lobe piercings
The majority of girls have their ears pierced once. For many, it’s a decision they make in their teenage years after begging their mothers to let them have it done. I asked my mom for permission when I was 8, she had a migraine and I was victorious. I cried as it hurt but have happily worn earrings ever since.
Some girls have their ears pierced as infants, with this decision being made for them by their parents. Either for aesthetic or cultural reasons stemming from tradition. While this is legal, personally it’s really a decision that the individual should make when they’re old enough to choose.
I was young having mine I knew I wanted it. At the end of the day while most piercings will heal and are reversible, it is still a body modification that shouldn’t be treated lightly. Single lobe piercings are a classic addition that is widely accepted throughout society. While a lot of girls wear single studs for work or casual wear, more elaborate styles are popular too.
Equally, some men also choose to have a single ear piercing on one side or both. Usually it’s more popular amongst younger guys although the rise in ear stretchers has been noted as setting a trend.
It’s a common addition for some girls to have a second set of lobe piercings, either a single one or double. Usually wearing a second stud next to another stud or a hoop and stud combination. While some men also have second lobe piercings, it’s mostly a female trend.
Upper ear piercings
Other less classic piercings elsewhere on the ears are becoming increasingly popular. Especially within alternative fashion, hippy trends and BDSM culture. One of the best and most common piercings on the upper ear is the helix.
Helix piercings are placed on the outer ring of the ear and are usually small hoops although some styles are studs. The simple helix is most common but also includes the forward helix (closer to the hairline) and the anti-helix/snug piercing which is on the inner ring of the ear.
Industrial piercings consist of a barbell rod driven through the ear at a diagonal angle. This is one of the more extreme ear piercings as it goes through cartilage on both sides. Similarly conch and flat piercings inside the ear are also considered more extreme due to the pain and healing time involved being higher. Conch or flat piercings are usually studs in the same way as tragus piercings are worn.
As for ear piercings that favour small hoops rather than studs, the daith, forward helix, anti helix and anti tragus are all common. While not as many women have all of the piercings, combinations of their favourites can often be seen.
For girls with more alternative tastes, they may channel their inner Lisbeth Salander from Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and embrace as many holes in their ears as possible! But arguable some of the hottest piercings for girls are those that are versatile. Like lobes and helix rings.
Nose piercing
Nose piercings originated in indigenous tribes and Hindu-Indian cultures. Originally a simple stud above the nostril helped denote Hindu women who were married. Now there are many variations of nose piercings available and it’s hard to decide which is best!
The most popular of which still remains a nostril stud although septum (beneath the nose like a bull ring), bridge (at the top below the forehead), nasallang (through both nostrils) and vertical nose tip (top of nose through to bottom where a daith sits) styles are also done.
Some people object to nose piercings being worn for aesthetic reasons on the grounds that it can risk a level of cultural appropriation. But many men find nose piercings sexy on women while some men have them also. Ultimately it’s a form of self expression and allows for more jewellery opportunities for ladies who enjoy having it.
The majority of nose piercings favour studs, barbells and pins due to the position on the body. But for septum and some nostril piercings, hoops and captive bead rings are used.
Mouth piercings
There are loads of different ways to pierce your mouth. Whether going for lip piercings or the tongue itself is really down to the individual. Dentists usually don’t recommend having any piercings in or around your mouth due to hygiene issues. However we can’t deny that some mouth piercings do look sexy on girls!
The main piercing options girls go for are tongue, snake bites and variations of the labret. Depending on what you’re into, everyone will have a different piercing which they think is best for girls. My personal favourite is the monroe which mimics a beauty spot like Marilyn Monroe above the lip.
Medusa studs (below the nose), angel bites (double studs above the lip) and spider bites (hoop around the bottom lip) are popular in alternative fashion. We can’t imagine they’d be fun whe eating candy floss though!
Of course, tongue piercings are said to make blowjobs amazing! Not having a penis, I can’t comment myself but the reviews are high!
Nipples
Having your nipples pierced sounds incredibly painful at first. Yet lots of girls and some guys choose to have their nipples pierced for aesthetic and sexual reasons. It’s thought that having pierced nipples is best if you struggle with sensitivity.
Apparently, having the nipple piercing makes sex and foreplay more intense with some girls being able to orgasm through nipple play alone. While other girls say they feel more sexy with pierced nips aside from any sensation.
For guys, seeing girls with nipple piercings can be best as they have permanent stiff nips. Which we all know is sexy as hell. But if you don’t want to see pokies 24/7, nipple piercings may not be your favourite thing on girls.
In alternative fashion and the BDSM scene though, nipple piercings are best for girls who are into S&M as they can be tugged on with clamps and used in bondage. Plus you can create a triangle of torture if you connect nipple piercings to a clit or nose/lip piercing.
Navel piercings
Navel piercings might automatically make you think of Beyonce in Crazy in Love. We can all be forgiven for thinking of Queen B shaking her booty while flashing her taut tum!
Belly rings are undeniably one of the most popular and hottest piercings for girls. Of course the slight catch is that unless you’re on the beach or rocking a crop top, you might not show a navel piercing everyday. Yet we can still say that when you do see them, it’s worth it!
Whether girls opt for the normal navel piercing on the top of their navel or go for a lower navel piercing on the bottom, both are sexy. Some might go for multiple piercings all the way around. While you can also buy jewellery which connects to the nipples, clit or forms a waist belt.
Clit piercings
If a girl is brave enough to go for a clit piercing, she’s a stronger woman than me! Clit piercings are thought to have the same benefits as nipple piercings. They’re meant to be one of the hottest piercings girls can have if they want more sensitive clits and to make sex intense.
A single piercing through the clitoral hood is most common yet some girls push the boat out further and opt for the Christina piercing which goes vertically through the the clit hood from the bottom of the Mons.
Girls who are braver still may try the Princess Albertina piercing through the bottom of their vagina or go for Fourchette piercings which can be done vaginally or near the anus. Piercing the labia is also an option with hoops often being preferred which can be laced up.
Any kind of genital piercing has a much longer healing time and more hygiene risks to it. For girls who are into BDSM, having their clit or lady-garden pierced can be best for kinky sex. As clit torture takes on a whole new meaning when you can attach weights and use needles…
Micro dermal
The category of micro dermal piercing is for the piercing addict. When all other body parts have been pierced, micro dermal piercings offer the chance to place studs in the skin.
Whether this is done below the collarbone, between the breasts or in the dimples on a girls’ back is anyone’s guess. Micro dermal piercing is more specialist than the other more common piercings. The niche however can be very sexy on the right girl if it floats her boat! What are the hottest piercings for girls? Let us know on Twitter!
