Styling your ears is an important part of body modification and personal style, but it's easy to make mistakes that can ruin the look.

Here are 5 common mistakes to avoid:

• Not having a clear idea of how you want your ears to look. Research different styles and take inspiration from our Pinterest or Instagram to get a sense of what you like.
• Expecting to get styled at a tattoo shop. While tattoo shops may offer piercing services, they may not have the expertise or experience in styling that a dedicated piercing stylist would.
• Skimping on good quality jewelry. Cheap jewelry may save you money in the short term, but it is more likely to break or fall out and will need to be replaced more frequently. Investing in good quality jewelry will save you money in the long run.
• Creating visual imbalance. A well-styled ear should have a cohesive look that is eye-catching and well-balanced. Remember to mix sizes, create patterns with mixed metals, and create shapes with your piercings.
• Ignoring the shape of your face. The shape of your face can either enhance or diminish the look of your ear styling. Consider the shape of your face when choosing your ear styling to ensure that it complements your overall appearance.
