The process of conventional earlobe piercing does not lead to bleeding. This is because the

The earlobe is primarily composed of skin, adipose (fatty) tissue, and connective tissue, but it is often associated with the cartilaginous framework of the pinna. While the skin of the ear is vascular, the underlying cartilage is avascular, meaning it lacks its own direct blood vessels and receives nutrients via diffusion from the surrounding perichondrium. Conventional earlobe piercing typically targets the fleshy part of the lobe which, although it has a blood supply from the superficial temporal and posterior auricular arteries, contains significantly fewer large vessels compared to other body parts. The lack of a dense capillary network in the specific fibrocartilaginous or fatty regions targeted during piercing results in minimal to no bleeding. Furthermore, the avascular nature of the auricular cartilage contributes to the perception of bloodless piercing in the upper ear regions.
