Have you heard? September 2 is Pierce Your Ears Day. Ear piercing professionals at jewelry counters and other spots may offer discounts on this holiday.

Gold studs and practical posts may be starting points for many first-time piercing recipients. Others may opt for wires, fishhooks, dangles and bangles.

From cuffs to conches, helixes to gauges, ear piercings have become particularly popular on September 2. Just be careful, if you do your own piercings or enlist a friend to help.

Better yet, leave the piercing to trained professionals!
