Ear Piercings FAQ in Fort Washington, PA

What is the most uncommon ear piercing?

A snug piercing, also known as the anti-helix, is a horizontal piercing through the inner ridge of your cartilage. Because it’s one of the most painful piercing types, it’s one of the rarest ear piercings.

Is Claire’s good for ear piercing?

Getting your ears pierced at Claire’s is safe, sterile and easy. Our highly trained specialists provide a touch-free piercing experience that uses single-use sterile cartridges and requires no needles. Our equipment is sanitized before and after every customer.

Should you twist new ear piercings?

Don’t touch a new piercing or twist the jewelry unless you’re cleaning it. Keep clothing away from the piercing, too. Excessive rubbing or friction can irritate your skin and delay healing. Keep the jewelry in place.

What do I need to know before getting my ears pierced?

Choose the Location That’s Right for You. Know What Ear Piercing Equipment is Being Used. Choose the Right Earring. Make Sure Your Piercer Has Been Trained Properly. Safe Healing.

Do any ear piercings hurt?

It’s normal to have some redness, swelling or pain for a couple of days after getting your ears pierced. But your ears should look and feel better each day. If you find that your ears do great and then suddenly start to become red, inflamed or crusty a week or two later, that’s usually a sign of infection.

Is it painful to get your ears pierced?

While you shouldn’t feel more than a pinch when the needle goes through your ear with lobe piercings, cartilage piercings are known to be quite painful, initially feeling a sharp shock before experiencing a duller throbbing pain.

What does a healing piercing look like?

Discoloration (redness) and itching during healing process are also fairly common. Secretion of a whitish-yellow fluid (not pus) is part of the healing process and is to be expected. It is liquid when it leaves the body but dries into “crusties.” Piercings will go through “ups and downs” while healing.

Is it better to get your helix pierced with a gun or needle?

How should ear cartilage be pierced? ‘Cartilage should always be pierced with a needle. A piercing gun isn’t designed for cartilage, only soft tissue and even then I wouldn’t recommend it. Piercing cartilage with a gun can create hardcore hypertrophic scarring and even blow it up.

Should I rotate my new ear piercing?

There’s no reason to rotate your piercing. You could damage the delicate, healing skin by rotating the jewelry. In the past, rotating the jewelry was recommended, but it has been found to cause damage that can lead to infection and scarring. For happy healing, NEVER rotate your body jewelry.

How long does an ear piercing take to heal?

There are different types of tissue in different parts of your ear, so how long it takes to heal depends on your body and the place you’ve pierced. Earlobes usually take 6-8 weeks. If you pierce the cartilage on the side of your ear, it can take 4 months to a year. Ask your piercing professional for an estimate.
