Piercing: the best place for ear piercing near me

In many cultures around the world, earlobe piercing is considered a standard procedure for all genders. With a simple Google search for "ear piercing near me" you will most likely find hundreds of results for companies that provide the service at a low cost. However, just because many people offer piercings doesn't mean that anyone can or should get them done for you.

What most people don't realize is that body piercing is a procedure that requires a safe and clean environment. That's why at Pierced, all professional piercers are certified for bloodborne pathogens. With years of piercing experience and sterile medical instruments, we will ensure that your piercing is as smooth and hygienic as possible.

Even after you've completed the procedure, caring for your new piercing is just as important as doing it safely. Fortunately, with a little research, you can protect yourself from infections and reduce the likelihood of negative experiences. Know what to expect before you go and stay consistent with your aftercare process.

At what age is it better to pierce your ears?

Other than the age to care for a piercing, there is no ideal age for an ear piercing. In some cultures, it is customary for parents to pierce their children's ears. However, it is best to wait until the child has been vaccinated before hanging the first earrings.

At Pierced, the minimum age for ear piercing is 5 years old. Children under 14 years of age must be present during the process in the presence of a parent or legal guardian. We recommend postponing ear piercing until the person can tell they are in pain. An infant or young child can play with the piercing and cause infection or irritation.

How long should a new piercing hurt?

A new piercing can be painful for the first few days, but the pain is often minor and easily treated. It will not interfere with daily activities or sleep. The most acute pain you will feel is during the process itself - as long as it is being handled by a professional.

The pain should not be severe to such an extent that it becomes unbearable. Expect some soreness and remember not to touch or pull on the ear. If you notice unusual swelling or severe pain, this could be a sign of an infection. Be sure to contact your doctor immediately.

Healing and pain also depend on the placement of the earring. For example, an earlobe piercing is less painful than a concha, helix, or tragus piercing.

Can I take out recently pierced earrings for an hour?

As a general rule, we do not recommend removing the piercing for the first six weeks. Even if you want to replace the earring, do it only after the piercing has completely healed.

There are two reasons why we recommend keeping earrings inside the piercing. First, reduce the risk of infection. The more you handle your jewelry, the more likely bacteria will seep into the hole and cause an infection.

The second reason has to do with the natural closure of the piercing. When you get your ears pierced, your body begins to heal the hole naturally. When you remove the earring from the piercing, the hole will quickly close again, especially during the first six weeks.

What kind of jewelry should be used for ear piercing?

We recommend using gold earrings for the first ear piercing. Other types of materials are also well suited, such as titanium and surgical steel. In the case of gold, always make sure the earrings are clean and not just plated. The most common types of gold earrings include:

• Pink gold
• Yellow gold
• White gold

Usually a 14K gold piercing or higher is the best choice. Gold is a neutral metal and very few people are allergic to it. Various shades of gold also look great on any skin tone.

One of the most common earring material myths to be aware of has to do with the "hypoallergenic" label. Hypoallergenic doesn't necessarily mean jewelry won't irritate your skin, so always buy jewelry from reputable sellers. Several brands make gorgeous gold earrings and we sell them on Pierced! We love Junipurr jewelry as well as BVLA, Maria Tash and Buddha Jewelry Organics.

Can I take out my recently pierced earrings to clean them?

Try to wear your earrings without removing them for the first three to six weeks after the piercing. You can clean the earrings as long as they remain in your ears. Professional piercing studios stand out for the care tips they give.

Using the saline solution provided by the piercer, you can easily clean the piercing with a cotton swab. If you don't have saline on hand, you can use rubbing alcohol. You should clean your piercing every day and be diligent when it comes to keeping your hair away from your piercing at night.

If you take your earrings off and forget to put them on, the hole will close up. You may have to force the pin back in, which can be painful. If you don't thoroughly wash your hands and sterilize your earring, infection can ruin your piercing. We do not recommend re-piercing your own ears once the hole has completely closed. It's better to go back to the store to have it done professionally.
