FAQ's

What should I expect during an ear piercing?

During an ear piercing, a professional will first clean the area to ensure it’s sterile. They’ll then mark the spot where the piercing will be made, ensuring you’re happy with the placement. Using a sterile piercing device or needle, they’ll quickly and carefully pierce the ear, minimising discomfort.

Afterward, you’ll receive instructions on how to care for your new piercing to promote healing and prevent infection. The entire process typically takes just a few minutes, and most people experience only mild discomfort.
How do I care for my ears after getting them pierced?

Proper aftercare is crucial for preventing infection and ensuring a smooth healing process. Clean your ears twice daily using a saline solution or a recommended aftercare product. Avoid touching or twisting the earrings unnecessarily, as this can introduce bacteria.

Keep the earrings in place for the recommended time (usually 6-8 weeks) to allow the piercing to heal fully. Avoid swimming in pools or exposing the piercing to excessive moisture during the initial healing period. If you notice redness, swelling or discharge, contact a healthcare professional for advice.
How long does it take for ear piercings to heal?

The healing time for ear piercings varies depending on the individual and the type of piercing. Standard earlobe piercings typically take about 6 to 8 weeks to heal fully. During this period, it’s essential to follow aftercare instructions carefully to avoid infection or irritation.

Cartilage piercings, on the other hand, may take longer—up to 12 weeks or more. Even after the initial healing period, it’s best to continue cleaning the area regularly and avoid heavy or irritating jewellery until the piercing is well-established.
