Cartilage piercings will continue to trend this year. Tragus piercings (through the piece of cartilage protruding in front of the ear canal) and helix (in the cartilage of the outer edge or top of the ear) piercings are very common at many studios. Banter piercing director Jennifer Turner has also been seeing lots of rook (in the cartilage of the inner ear) and conch (in the middle part of the ear's cartilage) piercings lately as well. Celebrities are especially into conch piercings lately, with Rihanna and Kylie Jenner both making the location mainstream.
