Belly button piercings aren't making a comeback, but you'll be surprised to see what's on the list, ahead.IN - LAYERED EAR PIERCINGS "Customers have curiosity and interest in seeing multiple piercings and find it easy to experiment [with], one additional piercing at a time," says Teichman Tash agrees: "Layering jewelry above multiple piercings going up the ear in a second row, or staggered in between old piercings creates a fresh, deliberate effect," she says.

"These [jewelry] pieces should all relate to each other thematically, like celestial elements like stars, moons, or lightning bolts, pierced in a horizontal arc that point to a central hero jewelry element." OUT - ORAL AND PIERCINGS"Requests for oral piercings such as lip and tongue piercings are infrequent" says Tash, who used to have a lower lip piercing herself "Dermal piercings are beautiful, but tend to grow out over time, and should be thought of as temporary piercings." OUT - STATEMENT EARRINGS"Huge statement earrings are being replaced by multiple piercings, mismatched earrings, and even one 'work ear' and one 'party ear,'" says Teichman. . Source
