Flat piercing jewelry

Flat piercing

A flat piercing - also called scapha piercing - is located in the upper part of the ear, on the flat piece of cartilage between the helix rim and the auricle. Because this is a relatively flat surface, this spot allows for creativity and elegance. The flat piercing is a cartilage piercing that stands out for its visibility and versatility. It is a piercing that is not only anatomically interesting, but also aesthetically offers a beautiful canvas for jewelry with character.

The flat piercing can be perfectly combined with a diversity of piercing jewelry. Because the surface is flat and spacious, you can opt for a subtle golden button, a brilliant cut stone, a refined design with several prongs or a striking ornament that nestles into the contours of your ear. Even after complete healing, you can enrich the jewelry with a chain running around the ear - a subtle detail that transforms it into a statement piece. Wearing multiple flat piercings in one ear is not only possible, it enhances the playful, luxurious nature of this unique spot.

Jewelry placement and downsizing

Flat piercings at Mastilo Studios are always placed with a straight labret, which provides sufficient space for the initial swelling. Because this piercing runs horizontally, it is important to downsize the jewelry once the swelling has subsided. This prevents the piercing from growing crooked or irritated, and reduces the risk of cartilage lumps. During your appointment, we will discuss the proper timing for replacing your jewelry and advise you on which model best suits your ear and style.
