What should I consider before getting an ear piercing?

1. If you have hypertrophic scarring or jewelry allergy, do not do it. If you have a chronic condition, ask your physician before doing it.

.

2. Find a professional

.

3. One piercing per ear per event
4. I recommend a needle technique instead of piercing gun

.

5. Make sure the needle is new and has the appropriate aseptic and antiseptic measures.

.

6. Look for small, surgical steel, and long stud earring with screw back closure

.

7. Post-piercing: clean daily with antiseptic. Leave the earring on for 3 weeks before changing it .

.

8. If the pain increases, inflammation is added or pus appears, remove the earring and go to your physician
