Question 1

Can I get my ears pierced with a gun or do I have to use a needle?

Accepted Answer

Whichever you’d prefer. A piercing gun is instant and the fastest way to pierce your ears. Needle piercings are a three-stage process, but are thought to allow for a more precise piercing, are less traumatic for your ear tissue, and can be more hygienic.

Question 2

Can I get my ears pierced if I have sensitive ears or allergies?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but make sure it’s carried out by an experienced ear-piercing professional. If you have allergies or if you suffer from eczema or dermatitis, ask for your ears to be pierced with jewelry that is nickel-free.

Question 5

What aftercare do I need for a new ear piercing?

Accepted Answer

Clean twice daily with sterile saline solution, avoid touching with unwashed hands, don't rotate or change the jewellery during healing, and keep the area dry. Your piercer will provide detailed aftercare instructions based on the specific piercing.

Question 6

What is professional ear piercing?

Accepted Answer
