How it works

Upload your ear photo

Drop a clear photo showing your ear into EditThisPic. Side-profile shots with hair pulled back work best — the entire ear should be visible from lobe to helix. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

Expect: Single piercing addition: 20-30 seconds. Multi-piercing ear curation: may need 1-2 refinements per piercing.
Describe the ear piercing you want

Type your instruction: 'add a small gold hoop on my upper helix' or 'add a silver stud on my tragus.' Specify the jewelry type (stud, hoop, barbell), metal color, and exact ear location (helix, tragus, conch, daith, rook). No marking needed — the AI understands ear anatomy.

Tip: Name the specific ear anatomy (helix, tragus, conch, daith, rook, industrial) rather than vague terms like 'upper ear.' The AI knows these anatomical terms precisely.

Copy one of these to get started:

Helix hoop stack add three small gold hoop earrings along the upper helix of my ear, evenly spaced from top to mid-ear
Try This →

Tragus stud add a small silver ball stud on my tragus, the small flap of cartilage in front of the ear canal
Try This →

Conch hoop add a medium gold hoop through my conch, the inner shell of my ear, with the hoop wrapping around the outer edge
Try This →

Industrial barbell add a silver industrial barbell connecting the upper helix to the forward helix of my ear with a straight bar
Try This →

3 more prompts

Daith ring add a small silver heart-shaped ring through my daith, the innermost cartilage fold of my ear
Try This →

Second and third lobe add two small gold stud earrings above my existing lobe earring, evenly spaced going up the earlobe
Try This →

Full ear curation add a gold tragus stud, two small gold helix hoops at the top, and a gold conch hoop in the inner ear
Try This →
Review the preview

Check that the piercing sits at the correct anatomical location, the jewelry size is proportional to your ear, and the metal color matches any existing earrings you're wearing.
Refine with markers if needed

If the AI placed the piercing at the wrong spot on the ear, tap a marker at the exact cartilage location you want and regenerate. This is optional — most common placements (helix, tragus, lobe) work without markers.

Tip: Markers are most helpful for unusual placements like forward helix, snug, or anti-tragus where multiple locations are close together.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Ear Curation Planning

Plan your full ear piercing layout by previewing multiple piercings together before booking appointments.

Common Scenarios

Testing a 3-piercing helix stack to see if it suits your ear shape
Previewing tragus + conch combination before multi-piercing session
Planning which piercings to get first in a phased curation

Best Practices

Photograph your ear straight-on from the side with hair fully pulled back
Add piercings one at a time for precise placement control
Save each iteration to compare different curation layouts

📷

First Cartilage Piercing

See exactly how a cartilage piercing looks on your ear before making the commitment — especially helpful if you've only had lobe piercings.

Common Scenarios

Testing if a helix hoop suits your ear before your first cartilage piercing
Comparing tragus stud vs daith ring for your next piercing
Showing parents or a partner what the piercing would actually look like

Best Practices

Start with a single piercing preview to see if you like the look
Try both studs and hoops to find your preference
Take the preview photo to your consultation appointment

📷

Piercing Studio Consultation

Piercing professionals can preview placement and jewelry options with clients during consultations, reducing indecision and rebooking.

Common Scenarios

Showing a client how their chosen ear curation will look on their actual ear
Previewing different jewelry metals against the client's skin tone
Demonstrating how spacing affects the final curation aesthetic

Best Practices

Photograph the client's ear in your studio lighting
Preview jewelry options that match your actual inventory
Generate 3-4 layout variations to help clients decide

If something looks off

Piercing placed at the wrong ear location

Why: The AI confused similar cartilage areas (e.g., helix vs forward helix, tragus vs anti-tragus) from description alone.

Try: Tap a marker on the exact cartilage spot you want pierced, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: The more specific the anatomy name, the better: 'forward helix' is clearer than 'front of the ear,' 'conch' is clearer than 'inner ear.'

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. This happens with ambiguous requests.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Existing earrings were removed or changed

Why: The AI interpreted 'add earring' as 'replace earring' and modified your existing jewelry.

Try: Specify 'keep my existing earrings and add a new gold hoop on the helix above them'

Try This →

Tip: Explicitly mentioning 'keep existing' prevents the AI from modifying jewelry you already have in the photo.

Hoop doesn't follow the ear curve naturally

Why: The photo angle made it hard for the AI to understand the 3D shape of your ear cartilage.

Try: Use a photo where the ear is photographed straight-on from the side, then regenerate

Try This →

Tip: True side-profile photos give the AI the best geometry for rendering hoops that follow cartilage curves accurately.

Multiple piercings are clustered too close together

Why: The AI didn't have enough context about spacing preferences.

Try: Specify spacing: 'three helix hoops evenly spaced 5mm apart from top of ear downward'

Try This →

Tip: Adding individual piercings in separate prompts gives you more control over exact placement than requesting all at once.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark my ear before describing the piercing?

No! Just describe the piercing and location: 'add a gold hoop on my helix.' The AI understands ear anatomy — helix, tragus, conch, daith, rook — and places jewelry accurately. Only use markers for unusual spots where description alone is ambiguous.

Can I plan a full ear curation with this tool?

Yes. Upload your ear photo and add piercings one at a time or all at once. Run 'add helix hoops,' then 'add tragus stud,' then 'add conch ring' to build your curation step by step. Save each result to compare layouts.

Is there a free ear piercing simulator without signup?

Yes. EditThisPic is free to try with no account needed. Upload your ear photo, describe the piercing, and see it in 30 seconds. One free edit per week, credit packs from $1.99 for planning full curations.

How do I preview ear piercings before getting them?

Upload a side-profile photo showing your ear to EditThisPic and type 'add a gold helix hoop on my upper ear.' The AI renders it realistically in 20-30 seconds. Free, no app, works in any browser.

What ear piercing types can the AI preview?

Lobe studs, helix hoops, tragus studs, conch rings, daith rings, rook barbells, industrial bars, forward helix studs, anti-tragus piercings, and orbital rings. Name the anatomy and jewelry type for accurate results.

Can I show the preview to my piercer for reference?

Yes. Download your ear curation preview and bring it to your appointment. Piercers appreciate visual references showing exact placement and jewelry style on your actual ear rather than someone else's from Instagram.

Does it keep my existing earrings in place?

Yes, if you specify it. Add 'keep my existing earrings' to your prompt. The AI preserves your current jewelry and only adds new piercings where you describe them.

Does it work on phone photos of my ear?

Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser. Take a side-profile photo of your ear and preview piercings right from your phone. Pull your hair back for best results. No app download needed.
