Ear Piercing Need to Knows

Getting your earlobes pierced is an exciting decision, but it’s important to be well informed before you take the plunge. The first step is choosing the right piercing establishment. Look for somewhere with a good reputation, positive reviews, and a trained therapist. It's essential that the salon maintains high standards of hygiene. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions you may have, a reputable salon will be more than happy to answer these.

Understanding the piercing process can help alleviate any anxieties. I will clean your earlobes and mark the spot where the piercing will go. I will then use an instrument to make the hole and insert the earring. While the process is generally quick, it’s normal to feel a slight sting which quickly subsides. If you are having both earlobes pierced I will then proceed with the second piercing.

Aftercare is crucial for a smooth healing process. I will give you specific instructions at your appointment along with aftercare solution, but common tips include cleaning the piercing with aftercare solution twice daily, avoiding touching the piercing with dirty hands and rotating the piercing each day. It’s also important to avoid changing your earrings too soon, you should wait at least 6 weeks. Taking these steps will help ensure your new piercings are a source of joy rather than stress.

Many people find that the initial discomfort is worth the end result of beautiful, healed piercings.
