As a blog post by piercing and tattoo shop The Ink Factory details, the piercing is located on the ridge between the inner and outer ear.

Why hair goes gray Shutterstock Your hair hasn’t always been the same color that it is now. According to Miami dermatologist Dr. Jill Waibel, our hair is white while we are in utero, and when melanocytes begin to form, our hair takes on its natural color. Whether that color is black, brown, blonde, red, or some combination of those depends on the distribution, type, and amount of melanin in the middle layer of the hair shaft, which works to pigment your tresses....

The idea of a found family composed of individuals with unique powers and abilities coming together to form a group where they can fit in by standing out is particularly appealing to many fans of the genre, and no team in the MCU exemplifies this better than the Guardians of the Galaxy. Something about their natural group chemistry, tendency to be rebellious but still have their hearts in the right place, and common drive to overcome the trauma of their respective pasts gives the Guardians more of that beloved found family dynamic than even the Avengers....
