Passionate enthusiasts helping Australians on their ear piercing journey
Ear Piercings AU was born from a shared passion for body art and a frustration with the lack of quality, Australian-focused resources for ear piercing enthusiasts. What started as a personal blog documenting our own piercing journeys has grown into a comprehensive resource trusted by thousands of Australians each month.
We understand the excitement of planning a new piercing, the nervousness of sitting in that piercing chair, and the dedication required during the healing process. We've been there ourselves—multiple times over.
Our team consists of ear piercing enthusiasts who have collectively accumulated over 40 piercings between us. From simple lobe piercings to intricate curated ear stacks featuring helixes, tragus piercings, daith placements, and industrial bars, we've experienced firsthand the joys and challenges of building a piercing collection.
We've tested countless pieces of jewellery over the years—from budget-friendly surgical steel options to premium implant-grade titanium pieces and solid gold studs. We've dealt with irritation bumps, discovered which materials our bodies love (and which they reject), and learned through trial and error what truly works for long-term piercing health.
This hands-on experience drives everything we do at Ear Piercings AU. When we recommend a particular type of labret back for a helix piercing or suggest threadless ends for easy jewellery changes, it's because we've personally used these products. When we discuss healing times for cartilage piercings or explain the importance of downsizing your initial jewellery, we're sharing knowledge gained from our own healing journeys.
We created Ear Piercings AU because we believe everyone deserves access to accurate, honest information about ear piercings. The internet is full of outdated advice (no, you shouldn't twist your healing piercing!) and misleading product recommendations. We aim to cut through the noise and provide:
We're committed to transparency in everything we do. When we feature products from Amazon Australia, we clearly disclose our affiliate relationship. Our recommendations are based on quality and suitability, never on commission rates. If a product isn't up to our standards, it doesn't make it onto our site—regardless of the potential earnings.
Whether you're researching your first lobe piercing or planning a complex constellation featuring forward helixes, a rook, and a conch, we're here to support your journey with reliable information and carefully curated product recommendations.
