Piercing system or needle?
Piercings inside the ear are done with a needle. Stud earrings or piercings on the outside of the ear can be done with a piercing system.
The difference is this: needle piercing is done by hand, using a new and sterilized, hollow needle each time. The hollow needle “cuts” a hole in the ear into which the jewelry is inserted. The system uses the force of hand pressure to insert the earring into the ear. The system uses special sterilized earrings with a bar that is sharp enough to pass through the skin.
If you choose this method, make sure the earring is new, sterilized, and sharp. Earrings are generally not suitable for this.
Does ear piercing hurt?
The short answer is yes, but let's add, it's nothing like a mosquito bite. When piercing with a system, the only pain is when the needle is inserted through the skin - it's a brief moment. When piercing with a piercing needle, there are two unpleasant moments, when the needle "cuts" the ear and when the earring is inserted into the new hole.
After a few hours, there may be a throbbing pain that quickly subsides. The healing process begins, and the first few days may be uncomfortable but bearable. Appropriate care significantly helps healing. The feeling of pain is individual and usually clients are more worried about how it will be and whether it will hurt than they are actually suffering from pain.
Choosing the right ear piercing studio
An important part of the process is finding a good ear piercing studio. Check to see if the environment is clean and tidy, how the process is done, and if the artist answers your questions. If you don't feel comfortable or confident with the artist and feel like your questions aren't being taken seriously, look elsewhere.
The right jewelry for ear piercing
The first piece of jewelry should be suitable for healing – with a longer bar to allow room for swelling and for air to circulate freely. We recommend using medical steel, which can also be gold-plated.
Fresh ear piercing care
Do not touch the piercing with dirty hands, clean it twice a day with a care liquid. It is not recommended to use alcohol-containing products or hydrogen peroxide, as they dry the skin and make healing difficult. In case of inflammation, it is best to contact your family doctor and get a prescription for one of the anti-inflammatory ointments, such as Fucidin .
How long does it take for an ear to heal after being pierced?
There is no set time frame – most piercings heal within 1-3 months, but cartilage piercings can take up to a year. The earlobe heals the fastest, usually within a month. Proper care can shorten this time, and getting enough sleep and rest can help your body heal faster.
Jewelry replacement
Earrings should be replaced after a month, as dirt can accumulate in the back barrel, which will not be good for a freshly pierced hole.
