Before you pierce your ears, you will want to give consideration to the new look you will be getting and the aftercare you must do everyday. Do realize that the piercing of ears is a permanent process. The most popular placement for ears is the earlobe. Your piercer will be able to
explain the process and the risks associated with it. As far as aftercare goes, it is 6 weeks for earlobes. The Earrings must remain in your ears for this period of time.
There are two well known ways for you to get your ears pierced. The first is the less expensive of the two. A place in the mall, rather it be a store or kiosk, has the ability to perform this service. A variety of piercing earring called studs will be available for you to choose.
These can range from earrings with various gemstones to sterling silver or titanium options. Earrings with gold posts are highly recommended. The selection will vary from store to store. There are risks with this procedure which have raised eyebrows. A piercing gun is used to pierce ears
at these locations. The trouble is that after the piercing is complete, the skin that was pierced is caught between the back of the ear and the earring. This can lead to infection. The ear is not able to breathe. Also, the piercing gun is cleaned with only alcohol and is used on every
client. Training is very limited to the employees. Practicing on ear cards or watching others beforehand seems to be deemed appropriate.
The other way to pierce your ears is by a professional piercer. A hollow needle is used which eliminates the blunt force trauma from a piercing gun. The needles are extremely sharp and ease the earring through. The choices for earrings can run about the same, although you may wish to
use a 3 or 4mm ball, then move on to precious gemstones once they are healed. Piercers are required to go through extensive training before a real piercing occurs. They learn all about the body and nerves. Sanitation is highly important and an autoclave is used on all instruments in a
piercing shop. Never is one needle is twice. Which ever method you use, keep your ears clean with the cleaner you're given. Keep the touching of your ears to a minimum to eliminate the spread of bacteria. Now, you will be able to wear all of the wonderful and beautiful earrings for
pierced ears only.
