Top Piercing Trends in 2025: A Body Jewelry Guide for Every Style

A Casual Guide for Newbies, Fashion Lovers & Piercing Addicts

Whether you’re getting your very first nose ring or you’re running out of space for new piercing jewelry, body mods have officially become part of everyday fashion — and we are so here for it.

At Skin Metals, we believe body jewelry isn’t just about looks — it’s about expression, energy, and owning your style. This guide breaks down the latest piercing trends for 2025, from belly button rings to bold gauges and everything in between.

💫 Nose Piercings Are Having a Major Moment

Nose piercings are classic, but 2025 is turning up the volume. Think double nostrils, septum rings, and even high nostril piercings paired with chains or stacked styles. Nose rings in gold, titanium, and black steel are trending — especially dainty hoops or gem-studded styles for that low-key sparkle.

If you’re not sure where to start, a classic nostril piercing is a solid move. Want to level up? Go for a double nose piercing or mix a septum ring with a hoop on one side. Super on-trend, super easy to style.

 

🔥 Bold & Beautiful: Industrial & Corset Piercings

If you like your jewelry with an edge, industrial piercing jewelry is a must. This long barbell runs through two points in the upper ear and instantly gives a bold, structured look. It’s one of those styles that just screams “cool.”

Feeling extra daring? Let us introduce you to the corset piercing. Typically placed on the back or side of the body, this piercing uses a series of rings laced up with ribbon or chain. It's not for everyday wear, but it’s 100% a conversation starter.

🖤 Lip Love: Labrets, Angel Bites & More

Lip piercings are back and getting creative. Labret piercings, angel bites, and vertical labret jewelry are all trending — and the vibe ranges from soft and sleek to full-on punk.

Go minimalist with a titanium lip ring, or play it up with colored gemstones and shapes. You can mix and match with other face piercings for a layered look or keep it clean with just one well-placed piece. Either way, it hits.

 

 

✨ Belly Button Rings Are Back (and Better)

Yes, the early 2000s called — and we’re glad they did. Belly rings are making a huge comeback, with everything from classic curved bars to dangly charm pieces in the spotlight.

Pair a sparkly belly button ring with a crop top or bikini and you’ve nailed the look. It’s fun, flirty, and surprisingly versatile. Pro tip: layer with a waist chain for bonus aesthetic.


💥 Nipple & Tongue Jewelry: Always Bold, Always Iconic

Let’s talk about nipple rings and tongue rings — because they never really go out of style. These piercings are for the confident, the bold, and the unbothered.

Nipple piercing jewelry is leaning toward sleek barbells, colored ends, and even mix-and-match sets. As for tongue piercing jewelry, minimalist steel, UV acrylic, and glow-in-the-dark styles are popping.

And yes — people are still asking about the Prince Albert piercing and Christina piercing. These intimate piercings aren’t for everyone, but for those who go for it? Big respect.

🌀 Gauges, Plugs & Getting the Right Fit

If you’re into stretched ears, then you know how important gauge sizes are. Whether you’re rocking solid black plugs, organic wood designs, or sparkly tunnels, it’s all about fit and comfort.

Not sure what size you need? Start small and stretch slowly — your lobes will thank you. We’ve got a full range of gauges in different materials to match your vibe, whether you're just getting started or leveling up your look.

 


 

💎 Quality Over Hype

Let’s be honest — not all body jewelry is made the same. There are plenty of mass-produced pieces out there that look cute online but turn out to be low-quality or uncomfortable.

At Skin Metals, we’re here to change that. We hand-pick every piece with comfort, durability, and aesthetic in mind. You deserve jewelry that lasts, feels good, and fits your personal style — without having to scroll through pages of junk.

We're not about fast fashion. We're about lasting impressions.

🌍 For the First-Timers: Where to Start?

If you’re just getting into body mods, welcome — we got you.

Here’s what we recommend:

  •  Start with something simple, like a nose ring, belly ring, or lip piercing

  •  Choose high-quality materials (titanium, surgical steel, or gold if you’re feeling fancy)

  • Make sure to clean and care for your piercing properly (don’t skip this step!)

Wondering about piercing shops near me? Do your research. Check reviews, ask about sterilization, and make sure they use high-grade jewelry. Or if you already have the piercing and just want a style upgrade, Skin Metals has everything you need to switch things up.

🔄 Body Jewelry Is Personal — Make It Yours

The best part about body jewelry is how personal it is. Whether you're stacking septum rings, mixing metals, or showing off your new nipple ring, there’s no one way to do it.

Match your piercings to your mood, your outfit, or your energy. Mix Body Candy vibes with high-fashion details. Go from street to soft girl to total badass — all with a change of jewelry.

Your look, your rules.
