When you get your ears pierced with us, you must be at least 6 years old. Of course, we only pierce the ears of children who are accompanied by a parent, so we are sure that it will be a safe and good experience for the child.
How long does it take for a hole in the ear to heal?
Everyone reacts very differently to getting their ears pierced. Therefore, the healing time is also very individual. However, you should expect 6-8 weeks for earlobe piercings and up to 12 weeks for piercings made in the cartilage. It is important that you give it time to heal so that you avoid inflammation or irritation.
When should I change my earrings?
When we pierce your ears, we do so with earrings of your choice in the materials titanium, 14-karat gold or surgical steel with 18-karat gold. These earrings should be left in place for 6-8 weeks before the holes have healed. In the meantime, it is important to care for the holes with salt water so that they are well cleaned and you avoid irritation or inflammation as much as possible. This cannot always be completely avoided, as it should be considered a wound that must be allowed to heal while a piece of jewelry is in place. It is a good idea to wear earrings at all times for the first year so that the holes do not quickly heal. It takes time for it to heal completely. So use your holes diligently so that they do not have time to heal in the meantime.
How do you care for newly pierced ears?
Once you have your new piercings done, it is important that you pay attention to their care so that they heal quickly and well. We recommend that you care for them in the following way:
- Do not touch the ears and piercings with unclean hands.
- Clean the new holes thoroughly both morning and evening with salt water. Leave the earrings in during cleaning.
- You can also clean your ears with aftercare wipes, which are gentle on the skin and easy to use between the ear and the jewelry.
- If you run out of saline or wipes, you can use liquid soap and rinse thoroughly with running water when you shower.
- Make sure that the area around the new hole is always clean and dry.
- Be careful when taking off and putting on clothes so that the earrings don't get stuck.
- Never use hydrogen peroxide to clean the holes, as it makes natural wound healing more difficult.
Is it healthy to sleep with earrings?
There is no harm in sleeping with earrings in. However, it is necessary for the first 6-8 weeks, as the wound must be allowed to heal. If you sleep with earrings in, they may occasionally fall out if the clasp is not tight enough. This is a matter of judgment depending on which earrings you choose to wear and use.
