Frequently asked questions about ear piercing
Despite being something quite common, many people still have many doubts about the application of ear piercing. Also, it is not for less, since it is a perforation and the insertion of a different object in the body.
To help, check out the information that bodypiercer Aline Mateus shared to answer your questions!
How is the placement?
“Ear piercing is the most classic type, the placement of each type takes into account the anatomy of each person, a hole, no matter how simple, is never the same as another. Each client is studied in such a way that the perforation does not cause him inconvenience. The ear is a place where the jewelry can be discreet or highlighted, depending on the model chosen, men and women are fans of this fashion and innovate more and more.”, explains the professional.
It hurts?
“Contrary to what many think, ear piercings do hurt. But it’s a moderate and quick pain! Pain is greater during drilling. It all comes down to your pain tolerance. In the first few days, you may also feel a little pain, it will decrease with each passing day, if there are no complications.”, points out Aline.
What type of piercing is most requested by clients?
The bodypiercer points out: “The most pierced part of the ear region is still the Helix, the name perhaps sounds strange because Helix piercing is an American term. Here in Brazil it is popularly known as cartilage piercing. Of the popular types of piercing, this is the most discreet and without any prejudice, because it is seen as an earring”.
What is the average value of piercing placement?
“Usually, the placement of conventional piercing (with 316L surgical steel jewelry) is in the range of R$50.00. Gold and titanium jewelry are more expensive, ranging from R$120.00”.
Are there any contraindications?
Aline explains: “Those under 18 can only get a piercing if they have a parent or guardian authorization, as required by the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa). It is contraindicated for diabetics, pregnant women and people with skin diseases.
I mean, pretty quiet, right? But not only that. Care needs to be taken as well.
Essential care for your piercing
A piercing that hasn’t been properly cared for can go from being beautiful to being a health problem. Therefore, it is essential to take all precautions, especially in the healing process.
For this, bodypiercer Aline Mateus gives the right tips on how to perform the care correctly:
Stick in safe establishments: According to the professional, seeking information about the reputation and experience of the establishment and the professional is essential.
Cheap is expensive: “Prioritize the safety and quality of the service offered, without exalting the amount charged! A poorly applied piercing can be more expensive than the savings initially offered”, warns Aline.
Cleaning care: “Maintain absolute hygiene in the punctured place, never play and touch the place without being properly with clean hands. Cleaning can be done with 70% alcohol or antiseptic”, explains the professional.
Alert with food: “Maintain a good diet in the first month of the perforation, in order to increase immunity. Avoid fatty, spicy and dubious foods”, emphasizes Aline.
Be careful not to injure the site: “Avoid friction at the piercing site, such as tight clothing, headphones, pulling, etc.”
Be patient: “Make the change of jewelry only after 30 days”, advises the bodypiercer.
According to Aline, it is important to carefully follow the guidelines, as “the region can swell, causing a lot of discomfort, having pus secretion and, later, the appearance of granuloma (mass or nodule of chronically inflamed tissue), so it is advisable to remove the adornment”.
Doubts taken? Now is the time to look for a good professional, choose your jewelry and take good care of the hole until the end of the healing process!
