An outfit is truly never complete without an amazing pair of earrings. With so many kinds of piercings out there, it can be confusing to figure out which trend you should actually give a shot. Celebrity piercer Brian Keith Thompson revealed in an interview with Refinery 29, "It's going to be the year of the ear. I predict that the snug, the upper lobe, and multiple constellations are going to be big." Have a look at the hottest piercing trends of 2018, and shop out earrings for your collection ahead.

The Upper Lobe

People tend to forget about the upper lobe, but that all changes this year. For it to be more noticeable, rock the look just on one ear.

The Snug

One of the most popular trends of the year is the aptly called snug piercing. It's a piercing that's snugly located in the middle part of your ear, right above the antitragus.

The Daith

Chances are you've probably seen this piercing around town. The daith piercing passes the ear's innermost cartilage fold. Stand out from the crowd by opting for a chic ear clicker.

Constellations

This celestial trend has been going viral for some time now. Instead of opting for just one or two earrings, wear a cluster of styles.
