Sun's Out, Studs Out: Summer Piercing Trends We're Loving

The first day of summer 2025 hits this Friday, June 20th—and we're ready. Nothing says summer style like fresh piercings and killer jewelry, whether floating the river, dancing at a country jam, or just catching golden hour in your backyard.

At The Loyal Sparrow, we're all about bold choices, personal expression, and curating a look that makes you feel unapologetically you. Here are the summer piercing trends we love—and how to make them yours.

Curated Ears Are Still Queen

This isn't your basic lobe piercing—we're talking intentional, styled ear stacks with mixed metals, subtle sparkle, and statement pieces. Think high lobe, flat, conch, and daith, all customized with complementary jewelry. Our team can help you map out your next piercing to create a balanced, unique look that feels effortless and edgy.

Stacked Lobes: Tiny But Mighty

Double and triple lobes are having a significant moment—and for good reason. They're versatile and low-commitment, making the perfect canvas for playful summer jewelry. Pop in a gold stud, a colored gem, or a charm hoop to reflect your mood (or outfit).

Dainty Nostril Piercings

A single, delicate stud or a small hoop says stylish without trying too hard. This type of piercing pairs well with everything from a sundress to cutoff shorts and boots. Bonus: it heals fast and looks great in selfies.

Bold Septums

The septum ring is still strong for those who like their summer with a side of edge. Go sleek with a simple gold clicker, or make it loud with ornate or textured designs. Whatever your vibe, this piercing adds central character to any look.

Shine in the Right Jewelry

Hot days, sweaty skin, and sun exposure mean you should choose body-safe materials like implant-grade titanium, gold, or niobium—especially for new piercings. At The Loyal Sparrow, we stock high-quality jewelry that looks great and withstands heat, sunscreen, river dips, and adventure.

A Few Tips for Summer Piercing Care

• Skip the swim (for now): If you're getting pierced, give it time to heal before hitting the pool or hot springs.

• Watch the sun: UV exposure can irritate healing piercings—throw some shade or wear a hat.

• Stay consistent with aftercare: Summers are full of distractions, but a clean, cared-for piercing always heals better and looks better.
