Piercings for women: Show off your wild side
If you're a woman with piercings, let the world see them! Whether in your face, your ears, or your body, piercings are a great way of showing off the rebellious side of your personality. These days, piercings are more popular than ever – and there are so many options to wear. Decide whether you prefer rings or bars, then think about the size. Do you want to stay small and subtle, or choose the biggest piercing around? Or how about ear cuffs that connect your piercings with one another? Whatever you go for, make sure your chosen piercing reflects who you are.
Choosing a piercing for your ears
The days of just a single pair of earrings are long gone. More and more women are choosing stacked earrings, with a full piercing collection on display in and around their ears. To make a statement, you can try mixing and matching different styles in the metal. Put small, classic studs in your lobes, then accessorize with a long helix bar, a tragus ring, or an eye-catching snug hoop. You can also take the opportunity to mix metals. If you're going to do that, it's a good idea to keep the shape the same; for example, you could stack your ear with a dozen hoops, all in different colours and metal finishes. Mix it up by alternating big, small and medium hoops, or keep them all more or less the same size if you prefer.
Funky piercings that break the mould
If you're a woman for piercings, you might want to experiment. There are other parts of the body that you can pierce, and you can make a statement with any of them. Always pay attention to the gauge of your piercing. When you're buying jewellery, make sure it fits! It's not a good idea to try to stretch out any holes without taking professional advice first, and there are certain kinds of piercing that should never be stretched. Even if you're just putting in a classic, simple bar, there are ways to jazz it up. Choose a straight or banana-shaped bar, and look for one with jewels on either end. There are so many colours available that it's easy to find one that suits your style!
