Your ear anatomy and symmetry influence piercing placement. Our team assists you during the consultation so that you choose the most aesthetic option that will complement your ears as well as your desired style.
Picking an Ideal Ear Piercing For Yourself
Before one decides to get any kind of piercing, they must consider a few things:
- Level of Discomfort – Lobe piercings generally hurt the least in comparison to other artistic cartilage piercings that may be more painful.
- Healing Duration – Piercing the cartilage normally results in longer healing times.
- Aftercare Commitment – Consistent cleaning 2 x times a day with saline solution is essential.
- Styles – Some piercings are subtle and some piercings make punchy statements.
- Anatomy of the Ear – A consultation prior will determine whether we can perform certain piercings, depending on individual anatomy. Some spots on the ear may not have enough cartilage to perform the piercing safely without a high risk of rejection.
- In case there is any hesitation towards your decision, any of our professional piercers will be able to work with your lifestyle and comfort in mind to provide the most appropriate aesthetic solution.

Aftercare Tips: Ensuring the Piercing Heals
Washing and cleaning your piercing is equally as important as aftercare to ensure a healthy pierce and no irritation.
Do’s:
✔ Repeat saline cleaning two times a day.
✔ Do not touch the new piercing site with dirty hands.
✔ To avoid undue pressure, avoid sleeping on the side of the piercing.
Don’ts:
✖ Remove jewellery before the piercing has fully healed.
✖ Expose the piercing to pool water, makeup, or hair products.
✖ Playing with or twisting the earrings may also be a source of irritation.
If you notice any unusual red, swelling, or discharge, reach out to us for proper care treatment instructions.
Jewellery Options for Ear Piercings
For ideal long-term comfort and wearability, it is best to opt for the appropriate jewellery.
- Titanium is a wonderful selection as it is hypoallergenic, very light, and friendly for sensitive skin.
- Over 14k gold is stylish while also being durable and irritant-free to your skin to an extent.
- Surgical steel is a great economical option due to having a low chance of skin reaction as well as being strong.
After the healing process, various choices like stud, hoop and barbell earrings can be used and they can be combined to suit your style.
Common Ear Piercing Myths and Misconceptions
“Ear piercings are extremely painful.”
A majority of piercings are done in a manner that feels like a quick pinch, which is the same case with cartilage piercings but they may cause slightly more discomfort.
“Piercings heal in a few weeks.”
Lobe piercings heal in 3-5 months, but cartilage piercings require 6 months+,
“Keloids form on every piercing.”
Keloids are uncommon and are generally seen among people with a family history of them.

New piercings may close quickly, but fully healed ones can remain open for years.
