What is ladder piercing?

Ladder piercing is a type of ear piercing that involves a series of multiple piercings along the outer rim of the ear, creating a "ladder-like" effect. This type of piercing is also known as a scaffold piercing or industrial piercing.

Ladder piercings are typically done using a straight barbell or a curved barbell that is inserted through the multiple holes in the ear cartilage. The number of piercings in a ladder piercing can vary, with most people getting anywhere from three to five piercings in a row.

Like other cartilage piercings, ladder piercings can be more painful and have a longer healing time compared to traditional lobe piercings. It is important to follow proper aftercare instructions to prevent infection and promote healing.

Ladder piercings can be a trendy and unique way to adorn your ears and create a statement look. As with any piercing, it is essential to do your research and go to a reputable piercer to ensure a safe and successful experience.
