Piercings Based on Zodiac Signs

Self-expression and Personality Through Jewelry

By: Leah Brainerd

Piercings and tattoos are a way of self expression that many indulge in, including myself. They tell stories about a person and have great significance. They can also be a way to feng shui your body or ears to have mood benefits. Piercings in particular can have an effect on people’s health and improve their lives.

In terms of health, many people pierce the inner part of the ear called the daith to alleviate migraines and have had success in remedying their constant pain. The tragus has also been shown to have a similar effect in helping subdue the pain of headaches and migraines. Many people pierce their ears based on their zodiac signs as well to help with health concerns and to help align their center.

Zodiac piercings have become popular recently to create a collage on your ear that aligns with who you are as a person and to have piercings that relate to each other and go well together. Zodiac piercings work by placing the piercings in the same formation as the stars from your zodiac sign, the same stars from when you were born. Zodiac signs can say a lot about people’s personalities and reveal traits they might not even be aware of. Many people rely on their signs because they help you with goals and motivations as well as give insight into relationships with other people. For example, Tauruses and Leos have an intense relationship together because they both like to be in-charge as well as Leos are more outgoing while Tauruses are more introverted.

Because zodiac piercings may be too many piercings at once for some, this can be done at many different times or in different stages of your life, just as the moon goes through different stages in its cycles as well. One of the simpler piercings is the Aries with only four piercings: the helix, rook and two tragus piercings. The helix and rook are fairly simple as well and not super painful, which can be a relief if you are new to piercings.

The most complex is the virgo piercings with 12 piercings because of all the stars aligning together in late August and September. There are eight piercings around the outside and lobes of the ear and four inside the ear all close together towards the middle. All zodiac signs and piercings are different and can have different effects because of their placements, but zodiac piercings are a fun way to say something with your piercing choices and make them significant to you specifically. They can help remind you of your sign and bring you back to your ground. It can be a great reminder that all lives have cycles and that you are always changing, evolving and different from others based on your specific signs.

Piercings may be an investment, but creating a personalized ear stack that is important to you is worth the money. Piercings can last a lifetime if taken care of properly and are great conversation starters. Ear piercings are also a great way to express yourself and show off your unique personality in a more permanent way.
