Ear Piercings Idea

The prevalence of body piercing seems to be on the rise these days, but actually piercing has been a common practice for many cultures for thousands of years. In addition to making a personal or fashion statement, many piercings-especially among those historical cultures who have embraced piercing for years-have culture significance, not just visual appeal. Before you have any piercings, you should weigh your options carefully and make an educated decision.
Tips for Safe Ear Piercing

Here are some suggestions and tips that will make your ear piercing a safer and healthier event.

* Be certain when getting a piercing that the person performing the piercing practices good hygiene such as wearing unused, latex gloves over freshly washed hands.

* All of the equipment should be clean and properly sterilized beforehand.

* The surroundings should meet high levels for cleanliness and hygiene.

For sanitary reasons, disposable needles are preferred for ear piercing. Non-disposable needles can be unsafe due to possible bacteria. Always verify that new, unused needles are being used for your ear piercing.

* There should be bright lighting and basic first aid supplies at hand.

What type of Jewelry is Best for New Piercings?

We recommend nickel-free, 18K or 14K gold studs for your first set of earrings after getting them pierced. Never use any earrings that are silver or gold plated in ears with fresh piercings. These metals can create infections and allergic reactions. If you have an allergic reaction to gold, you can use Teflon or nylon ear jewelry until your healing is complete.
