How do a helix and a forward helix differ?

The chart marks each as its own point on the rim of the ear. Point to the exact spot when you ask for it.

Is this a piercing guide?

It is a chart for naming and planning placements. Ask a trained piercer about healing, sizing and which spots suit your ear.

Can I type a different style?

Yes. Type the style you want, such as nose piercing, and the chart is drawn for it in place of the ear shown.

What do the three styles look like?

The line diagram uses thin outlines with each piercing as a dot or ring, the gold version shows the jewelry in gold, and the pencil study shades the ear in soft grey.

An ear piercing chart names each place on the ear, so you can ask for the one you mean. One picture marks eleven placements on a large ear, from Lobe and Helix to Daith, Conch and Industrial. Another shows three combinations, Minimal, Stacked lobe and Full ear. A third is a blank ear for planning your own placement and jewelry. Type a style, such as silver hoops, and the chart is drawn for it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
