lobe piercing

Hole through earlobe

A lobe piercing is a piercing through the fleshy lower part of the ear—the most common type of ear piercing and often a person's first.

Unlike cartilage piercings higher on the ear, lobe piercings heal relatively quickly and cause minimal pain: She got her lobe piercing at the mall when she was twelve.
