General Tips for Care

Be sure to research how your piercing needs to be properly cared for before scheduling an appointment for a new ear accessory. Taking care of your piercing will keep it looking #instagood rather than infected. It is not a good idea to twist, turn, rotate, or sleep on any of your piercings, since this increases your risk of infection or irritation, and prolongs the healing process. You should avoid sleeping on them and clean them with saline one to two times per day. For six to eight weeks after getting pierced, you will want to stay away from water (baths, pools, hot tubs, etc.). Additionally, stay away from harsh chemicals such as soap, peroxide, bactine, rubbing alcohol, and Neosporin.

Ear Piercing FAQs

Which is the most painful ear piercing?

It’s important to remember that pain is subjective, so what your friend might describe as a 10 might be more like a five to you. As a result, the snug was the piercing that came up most when ranking pain. The snug, despite its unassuming name, has a healing time of up to a year and can cause swelling and irritation. Please scroll ahead for more information if you still wish to proceed with a snug piercing.

Which piercing is the prettiest?

One of the most popular piercings is the conch. Obviously, this is subjective, so take it with a grain of salt. Because of its prime location, the conch sits right in the middle of the ear lobe, making it easy to customize for any ear. If you want, you can adorn the conch with a simple stud or a statement hoop or cuff, which is a common choice.

Which is the most unusual ear piercing?

The rook piercing is a lesser-known or uncommon choice that sits along with the inner ear, usually in the uppermost ridge. A rook is usually held by a curved bar or a simple ring, and is favored for adding an unexpected, yet understated effect to an ear.
