Ear jewelry and ear piercing points

The ear lobe is the most socially acceptable point on the body to have a piercing and wear ear jewelry for both males and females.

It is the only socially acceptable point on the ear to have a piercing. Two piercing points on the lobe is probably the limit for general social acceptance.

But there are other areas of the ear that are routinely pierced and the chart below shows a picture of piercing points and a list of acceptable ear jewelry.
