Lobe : The lobe is the most classic piercing located at the bottom of the ear on the soft part, this is where the earrings are inserted.

Anti-tragus : This part is located above the lobe, it is the small "ball" above the cartilage just in front of the tragus, hence its name.

Tragus : This piercing is located on the flap of skin (cartilage) just next to the ear canal. Note that depending on the morphology of the ear, the tragus is more or less prominent, so this piercing is possible if your ear allows it.
