At Smoothie, we believe piercings are more than just jewellery - they’re a way to tell your story, to curate your look, and to feel confident every single day. Whether you’re building your first ear stack or already a piercing pro, staying inspired with new ideas keeps your look feeling fresh.
Here are the piercings and styling details we’re loving right now - and how you can bring them into your own stack.
1. The Orbital
An orbital piercing instantly gives your stack a fashion-editor finish. Unlike a classic hoop, it connects two piercings with one ring, creating a sculptural look that frames the ear beautifully. It’s sleek, unexpected, and perfect if you’re craving something different but still wearable every day.
💡 Style tip: Our waterproof titanium hoops are perfect for orbitals - lightweight, comfortable, and safe for sensitive ears.
2. The Scapha
Sitting in the flat upper part of the ear, the scapha piercing (sometimes called the scapher) is the definition of chic minimalism. It works brilliantly for clean, balanced stacks and looks incredible with slim huggies or delicate studs. If you love a curated ear that feels intentional and high-end, this is the piercing for you.
💡 Style tip: Pair a simple scapha stud with diamanté huggies lower down the ear for effortless contrast.
3. Chains
Chains are one of the biggest piercing trends right now - and for good reason. They add movement, texture, and a touch of edge to your ear party. A dainty chain linking two piercings makes even the simplest stack feel bold and fashion-forward.
💡 Style tip: Try connecting two lobe piercings with one of our Smoothie chain attachments, it’s the quickest way to make your stack feel new.
4. Charms
Charms are where personality comes in. They let you customise your jewellery without committing to a new piercing, which makes them perfect for mixing things up whenever your mood changes. From starbursts to pearls, charms are the finishing touch that makes your stack uniquely yours.
💡 Style tip: Clip a single charm onto your huggie for a subtle detail, or layer multiple charms for a playful, maximalist look.
Why We Love These Piercings
What we love most about this new wave of piercings is the freedom: there are no rules. It’s about creating a stack that works for your lifestyle - whether you want jewellery that’s waterproof and sleep-safe for everyday wear, or statement pieces that turn heads on a night out.
At Smoothie, all of our pieces are designed with this balance in mind. Lightweight. Hypoallergenic. Comfortable. And, most importantly, stylish enough to wear on repeat.
