Best Ear Piercing near me in Masonville, London

You can avoid subsequent infections and hole closures by leaving your earrings in for at least six weeks after your initial piercing. Remove an earring earlier, and the pierced hole may close over. You should also be strict on hygiene after you’ve had your ears pierced: wash your hands before touching your ears, clean and rinse your piercings with salt water or a mild, fragrance-free soap and water at least once a day, and apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly around each opening. If in doubt, your piercing technician should be able to advise you on how to take care of your newly pierced ears.

Earlobe piercings heal in approximately 6–8 weeks. Cartilage piercings (such as helix, tragus, or daith) take considerably longer, up to 6–12 months. Following proper aftercare is essential to avoid infection and ensure a good heal.

Professional ear piercing uses sterile, single-use needles or specialist piercing tools to create openings in the ear for jewellery. A professional piercer ensures correct placement, sterile technique, and appropriate starter jewellery to support healing.

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.
