We suggest booking an appointment at a highly rated local studio that uses piercing needles rather than a piercing gun.

What Piercing Method Should I Use: Needle or Gun?

What Kind of Ear Piercing Should I Start With?

It's also important to leave your piercing in place, even at night, unless you have an infection or other issue. What if my piercing gets infected?

No. Don't take aspirin or anything with aspirin in it. This can cause you to bleed more than normal. What medical conditions would prevent me from piercing my ears? Piercing technique: This piercing is done with a needle. " If you wear a cycling or motorcycling helmet this might not be the right piercing for you unless you don't mind taking a break for a while. Ski-ing would also be a no-no for at least a few months," says Jabbar. Keep your piercing away from hats, dirty hair, pillows, or other objects that might introduce dirt and debris. Experts advise against piercing guns because of a few different concerns. First, the APP contends that reusable piercing guns can expose clients to bloodborne pathogens because of their inability to be autoclaved. An autoclave is a small machine that uses heat, steam, and pressure to sterilize any instrument that isn’t single-use — but piercing guns are plastic, so wouldn’t hold up against the heat of an autoclave. (FWIW, Thompson says nearly everyone he knows in the industry uses autoclaving for the equipment used in piercings.) Also, according to the APP, while the external surface of piercing guns may be wiped down with alcohol or other antiseptics, microscopic particles could contaminate the internal mechanisms of the gun. The lobe piercing is a piercing classic. Although it’s the most popular piercing by far, it also offers a lot of opportunities for customization. Its anatomy allows for versatile piercing placement, leading to double, triple, or even quadruple lobe piercings.There’s no doubt that lobe piercings are the most popular piercings among both men and women. The lobe piercing tends to be an almost universally accepted body modification, so much so that we sometimes forget to mention it when it comes to body piercings. Getting pierced with a piercing gun is like pushing a pin through your ear. Did you know that piercing guns use a solid pin to puncture your ear whereas with a needle the inside is hollow. The difference is that with the piercing gun your earring is forcefully pushed through your lobe whereas with a needle your earring is gently inserted into the the new hole. With the piercing gun you will experience excessive trauma. So what difference does it make? The end results is that with the needle your earring will sit flush on your ears, whereas with the gun your ears will take longer to heal and the earring will be crooked on your ears. NEEDLE In case you're uncertain about the earring design or type of piercing you'd like, feel free to book a consultation prior to your appointment or ask any questions on the day itself," says Svetlana Hristova, Head of Piercing at Lark & Berry. "A brief conversation with your piercer before the procedure can work wonders, particularly if you're feeling nervous." Piercing needles also allow for versatility with other kinds of body art. Besides your ears, noses, belly buttons, nips, cheeks can all be pierced with a needle. What Are Piercing Guns?

Avoid any place where they sterilize equipment in the studio's public bathroom. What kind of jewelry should I choose? Dangle earrings: Give you more room for intricate designs. Often, dangle earrings are worn for fancier events or when you want your earrings to pop. Similar to dangle earrings, hoop styles are also quite popular in lobe piercings. Since lobe piercings feature a smaller gauge, you must typically find hoops created specifically for lobe piercings. The piercing artists just need to make the marks on the skin, clamp the skin, then pop the needle through and put the piece of jewelry in the piercing. Hygienic The professional who pierced your ears should give you specific instructions on keeping your new piercing clean. The instructions will probably be along the lines of gently dabbing around your piercing a few times a day using saline solution or rubbing alcohol and cotton swabs. In terms of the technique itself, Thompson says it’s a lot easier to use a piercing gun. But despite it taking more effort to schedule an appointment at a studio with a professional for a needle piercing, he believes it’s definitely worth it in the long run. It should also be noted that the Association of Professional Piercers does not endorse the use of piercing guns and disallows its users from piercing with the mechanism.

Unsubscribing from marketing communications

And don't forget, you should avoid changing the jewellery in your piercing until it has fully healed. "This can compromise the health of your piercing and can lead to an infection," says Jabbar. By following these steps, you'll be on your way to a successful healing process. Guess who is piercing your ear at these stores? High school kids who are not trained professionals. Do I need to say more? Just No Pain levels and tolerance vary from person to person but generally you can expect your ears to hurt for a couple of days after getting pierced. You will initially feel a sharp pain when getting your piercing which is often followed by a dull throb or ache as you do have a fresh wound on your body. You may find that your ears will swell not long after the piercing but after a few days, this will reduce. This is simply your body’s natural reaction and marks the start of the healing process. Ear piercing with needle pain is reported to be less than being pierced with a gun.

Regardless of which instrument you want your piercing artist to use, there are a few things you should always do. Research
