What is an orbital ear piercing?
An orbital piercing is when two holes are made in the same part of the ear and are connected by a hoop earring. This type of piercing can be positioned anywhere in the ear, but the lobe and cartilage are the most popular placements for this. You can also turn a single ear piercing into an orbital one by adding another hole nearby.
What is the pain level of an orbital ear piercing?
Orbital ear piercings on the lobe are *bearable* since they are done in a fleshy part of the ear and can heal within six to eight weeks. If you decide to place it on your cartilage, however, expect to feel a sharper pain since the area is a lot tougher. It usually takes about three to five months to fully recover.
What kind of jewelry can you use in an orbital ear piercing?
For this piercing, you can pick between dainty hoops and ball closure rings. Any of the two will make your new ear candy stand out!
