Will it hurt? Another reason why earlobe piercing is highly popular, even with children, is that they are generally among the least painful piercings to get. The fleshy nature of the earlobe and small numbe of nerve endings in that part of the ear means that people tend to tolerate this piercing very well.

Healing: Earlobe piercings generally heal very well within approximately 4-8 weeks provided the correct aftercare procedure is followed. However, you will need to wait a little bit longer for the piercing to completely heal, allowing you to remove your earrings without the holes closing over.

When caring for your earlobe piercing, ensure that you:

  • Refrain from touching the piercing to allow the tender tissue to heal and reduce the risk of inflammation and pain.
  • Sleep on your back to reduce pressure on your ears.
  • Avoid applying: lotions, moisturisers, perfumes to the piercing area.
  • Try to keep your hair tied up and away from the piercing wherever possible during initial healing.
  • Clean both the entry and exit holes of your piercing twice a day.
  • You should not remove your jewellery during the healing process. The jewellery must be kept in at all times or you will risk the piercing closing over.

Jewellery: Earlobe piercings are one of the most versatile piercings, with a wealth of different jewellery styles and options to choose from. Whether you want statement drop earrings that are long enough to brush your shoulders, or simple jewelled studs that you can wear every day, there are so many earrings to choose from, you'll be spoiled for choice.
