Earlobe Piercing
Earlobe Piercing
Earlobe piercing involves creating a small hole through the soft lower part of the ear (the lobe) to insert jewelry, such as a stud. Here’s how it typically works:
Preparation
- The piercer cleans the earlobe with an antiseptic.
- They mark the spot to be pierced with a surgical pen for alignment.
Piercing
- With a piercing gun (common in mall kiosks): A spring-loaded device forces a stud through the lobe.
- Pain level: Minimal- often described as a quick pinch.
- Jewelry Insertion
- A starter stud (usually hypoallergenic like surgical steel, titanium, or gold) is immediately inserted to keep the hole open.
Aftercare
- The person must clean the piercing twice daily.
- Avoid touching or rotating the jewelry excessively.
- Healing usually takes 6–8 weeks.
