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.
What piercing gets infected the most?
Of all the body sites commonly pierced, the navel is the most likely to become infected because of its shape. Infections can often be treated with good skin hygiene and antibiotic medications. With this type of infection, jewelry generally does not have to be taken out.
Should you take earrings out at night?
It is generally recommended that you take your earrings out when you are sleeping. If you don’t want to take your earrings out, there are some ways to be more comfortable sleeping with them.
What is the least hurtful ear piercing?
A helix piercing is probably the least painful of all cartilage piercings. It is placed on the outer upper rim of your ear where the cartilage is the thinnest.
Why do pierced ears smell?
Dead cells mix with sebum to create an awful smell. Sebum is an oily substance created by the sebaceous glands which make the skin waterproof. When an earring hole hasn’t been cleaned properly, the sebum will mix with the dead cells caused by the pierced skin to create a gross smell.
What is the Medusa piercing?
What is a medusa piercing? A medusa or philtrum piercing positions a stud in the center groove above the cupid’s-bow of the lip. A piercer usually fits the piercing with a long labret stud. Once the piercing heals, a person can exchange the stud for a shorter stud to avoid causing damage to their teeth and gums.
What should I wear after getting my ears pierced?
However, we recommend only wearing small or light stud earrings for your first piercing. For one thing, small studs are much less likely to catch on things and get ripped out. They’re also more comfortable to sleep in (which is important when your piercing is still healing).
Can I shower after ear piercing?
Your sweat is sterile to you, so shower like you normally do and clean the piercing afterwards with saline or sterile wound wash. Do not swim in rivers, lakes, hot tubs, pools, or oceans until your piercing is healed.
What kind of earrings won’t hurt your ears?
Generally speaking, you want to avoid nickel and opt for at least 14k gold (anything less usually contains nickel or brass) or sterling silver 925. If your ears are still reacting negatively, try posts made of medical-grade stainless steel or titanium, which tend to be the least reactive.
