FAQ'S

Ear piercings are typically associated with mild discomfort rather than significant pain. Since they involve creating wounds, it's common to experience slight discomfort during the procedure. Lobe piercings are generally the least painful, while cartilage piercings may cause a bit more discomfort due to the ear's thickness. Ultimately, the level of pain experienced depends on individual pain tolerance. You can gauge the expected discomfort of your first ear piercing by gently pinching your lobe or cartilage.

In the UK, the typical price for an ear piercing falls between £15 and £40, while in the US, it ranges from $20 to $55.

The healing duration of an ear piercing varies depending on the pierced area. Typically, a lobe piercing, often the first for many, heals within 6 to 8 weeks. Conversely, cartilage piercings, like those in the conch or helix, may require 6 to 12 months for complete healing.

Regularly cleaning your piercing jewellery is essential to prevent bacteria buildup and reduce the risk of infection. Wash your jewellery gently with soap and lukewarm water, ensuring all soap residue is thoroughly rinsed off to prevent infections. Avoid using alcohol or harsh chemicals, as they may damage the metal.

It's generally recommended to avoid swimming, especially in pools, oceans, or lakes, immediately after getting an ear piercing. Exposing a new piercing to water, particularly in bodies of water where bacteria are present, can increase the risk of infection. It's advisable to wait until the piercing has fully healed before swimming to minimize this risk. Typically, this healing process takes several weeks to a few months, depending on the type of piercing and individual healing speed. Always follow the aftercare instructions provided by your piercer to ensure proper healing and minimize complications.
