Flat Piercing: A Stylish Addition to Your Ear Party
The flat piercing is quickly gaining popularity and for good reason. This cartilage piercing is placed in the flat part of the upper ear and offers a unique, elegant look. Whether you like minimalist jewelry or want to make a statement with a striking ear party: the flat piercing effortlessly adapts to your style.
In this blog you can read what the flat piercing is exactly, how it is done, what you can expect during the healing process and how you can best style this piercing. This way you know exactly what to expect before you make an appointment.
What is a Flat Piercing?
The flat piercing is placed in the flat cartilage at the top of the ear , between the helix (the outer edge) and the tragus (the small cartilage at the ear canal). This part of the ear offers enough space for a variety of jewelry, from subtle studs to more decorative designs. Unlike a helix piercing, which is located on the outside of the ear, the flat piercing is located a little more centrally.

Placing the Flat Piercing
At All Perfectly Pierced we take all the time for a careful and hygienic placement. The piercer first assesses the anatomy of the ear and determines the exact position of the piercing together with you. The area is then cleaned and marked.
The piercing is done with a sterile needle , safe, accurate and suitable for cartilage. Most clients experience the flat piercing as mild to moderate in pain, often described as a short, sharp prick with an afterburn. On a scale of 1 to 10, the pain is rated an average of 4 .
The procedure only takes a few minutes and afterwards you will receive clear aftercare instructions.
Healing and aftercare
The healing of a flat piercing takes on average 3 to 9 months , depending on your body and care.
Important aftercare instructions:
Clean the piercing twice a day, using a saline solution . Spray this on the piercing in the morning and evening, let it soak in for a while and then dry it well with kitchen paper.
Do not touch the piercing unnecessarily and always wash your hands first.
-
Avoid pressure on the piercing while sleeping (for example, use a special piercing pillow).
Keep care products such as shampoo and hairspray away from the piercing.
Redness and slight swelling are normal in the first few days. If in doubt or if irritation persists, you can always contact us for advice.
