Questions about the second hole in the ear

Speaking of doubts and care, we have here the information you need. Body piercer Fabi, who works at the Jantattoo studio, answered the most common doubts about the second hole for us. Take a look!

• Can the second hole in the ear be made with a pistol? According to Fabi, the use of guns for lobe piercings or any piercing application is not recommended. This is because the pistol is prohibited by ANVISA, due to the breach of sanitary surveillance standards. Another reason is the fact that pharmacy professionals who apply with a pistol are not professionals in body piercing. So, because they don’t know the details about human anatomy or cross-contamination, they run the risk of making big mistakes.
• How many days to heal the hole in the ear? About 4 to 8 weeks. The lobe hole is different from the cartilage hole, as it heals much faster.
• What jewelry can be used in the second ear hole? Generally, the perforation is made with 316 L surgical steel material or titanium, the latter of which heals even faster. It’s important to prioritize straight jewelry over hoops too.
• How do I know if my ear is inflamed? The ear will be inflamed if it is red, swollen and oozing pus. If this happens, it is recommended that the person see a doctor as soon as possible, so that an anti-inflammatory can be prescribed.

If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to ask the professional who will do your drilling. Taking care of your health will always be essential.

Care of the second hole

The second hole is very beautiful, but requires a series of care so that it does not damage your health. See, right now, some of them!

• Don’t put your hand on the earring! In fact, the hand is the biggest enemy of healing. People often put their dirty hand on the earring and end up spreading bacteria, which causes inflammation. No spinning the earring or taking off the “cone” that forms. If you have to take off the “cone”, take it off in the shower only;
• Avoid fatty foods! Ideally, in the first week, you should avoid eating pork, chocolates and seafood. Alcoholic beverages are also prohibited, in addition to cigarettes;
• When drilling, pay attention to the validity of the adornment, which must be at least 3 weeks. Ask the body piercer if the earring is sterile and has been autoclaved. Also pay attention to the use of the surgical glove by the professional.

Also be careful when cleaning your newly pierced ear. See the step by step on how to clean the hole in the ear.
