Flatback earrings (also known as labret studs) are a modern, comfortable style of earring designed with a smooth, flat disc that sits against the back of your ear instead of a traditional post and butterfly backing. They’re commonly used in professional piercing studios because they prioritize comfort, hygiene, and long-lasting wear.
Flatbacks are preferred for:
Lobes
Helix + cartilage piercings
Conch + tragus
Forward helix
Nostril
