Protecting Your Ears While Getting Them Pierced
1. Choose a clean, professional place to have your ears pierced.
Health professionals strongly advise that you never pierce your ears yourself at home. Instead, you ought to find a place where trained professionals will do it for you. While there's no guarantee that you won't later get an infection, starting by going to a clean place will help ensure that your ears will heal properly.
There is no federal regulation of the piercing industry, and many states don't have legislation on the topic, so you'll want to research and visit different shops and parlors in person so that you can check for cleanliness and learn about how experienced the piercers are.
2.Get reviews of the parlors you have in mind.
If you've never had a piercing before, a great way to find a safe place is to survey your friends for personal recommendations. Ask them what the procedure was like and if they had any difficulty cleaning their piercings or if they later got infections.
You should also study their piercings: do you like how the piercings were placed?
Besides seeing what your friends recommend, you can also go online to look for reviews of the shops you are thinking about going to for your piercing.
3.Make sure that the piercing equipment and earring(s) are sterilized.
When you're on your scouting mission to find the best place to have your ears pierced, stick around and watch other people as they are pierced, and also interview the staff. Make sure that all of the equipment that will be used, and also the jewelry, is sterilized beforehand.
Experts recommend that you look for an autoclave at the shop, which is a sterilizing machine.
4.Verify that only fresh, disposable needles are used.
Health experts also recommend that you avoid piercing parlors where needles are reused, even if they are supposedly sterilized between uses.
Avoid going to a parlor or shop that uses piercing guns. Even when the needle is changed out between uses, the gun may still have blood or tissue on it from previous customers. Piercing guns also cause a great deal of tissue damage compared to piercing needles.
5.Take extra precautions if you are having your ear cartilage pierced.
While you always want to choose the safest, cleanest place possible when you're getting a piercing, you should be extra vigilant if you want your cartilage pierced. Because cartilage doesn't have its own blood supply, it can take longer to heal, and it can also be much harder to effectively treat an infection should one develop.
Health professionals firmly recommend that only fresh needles be used to pierce your cartilage.
6.Make sure the piercer takes proper safety precautions.
Only let someone pierce your ears if they begin by washing their hands thoroughly or using hand sanitizer. They should also wear gloves and properly clean and sterilize your ear before piercing it.
