Body piercing is the hit nowadays and the most common piercing is piercing of the
ear. There are different ear piercing types and all of them require special aftercare
and cleaning during healing period. It's up for you to decide whether you want
to have one piercing or several piercings of the ear and what jewelry to wear,
but the aftercare recommendations should be followed.

as others are to your choice. Almost any part of the ear can be pierced. Dermal
punching, indwelling cannula method and piercing needle are commonly used
methods for ear piercing. The piercer should wear sterile gloves during procedure
and the needle and other piercing tools and supplies should be sterile too.
The choice of starter ear piercing jewelry depends on the type of ear piercing,
the size of the ear and its parts and on your preferences. Surgical stainless steel
and titanium are considered the best starter materials for initial piercings.
Ear piercing healing time depends on the type of piercing and some heal in 3 weeks
while others require about a year to heal. During the healing period you should
clean the ear piercing twice a day. The crust that is developed should be removed
by rinsing the piercing with special cleaning and healing solution. Your
hair shouldn't disturb the piercing as there shouldn't be any contacts of piercing
with hair products. You should carefully use hair care products and shampoos to
avoid inflammation and irritation. Your pillowcase should be always clean to avoid
infections of the wound by bred bacterial. Your diet should be balanced and healthy
as well as your lifestyle. You may fasten the healing process using vitamin B and
zinc. Your immunity will be boosted and healing will be fastened by addition of
multivitamin to the diet.

be carefully washed. You should gently rotate the jewelry to avoid crusting. If
you want to change the starter jewelry, you should wait until the piercing is completely
healed and it usually takes about 3 months. Don't use hydrogen peroxide or alcohol
containing products- they may cause scarring. be careful talking on the phone,
wearing glasses and hats. Avoid tight clothes that should be worn over the head.

everything is all right. If any complications appear, consult your piercer or your
doctor.
