Of course, some methods may not work for you, as everyone has their own preferred way of cleaning their piercing. So, if you do choose to go through with the piercing procedure and buy the aftercare products, know that it may become an investment. Not only can you be rejected by your puppy love crushes, but you can also be rejected by your own novel piercing. Unfortunately, this tends to happen when you introduce a foreign object to your body.
Reasons for rejection can vary from having an allergic reaction to the improperly placed earrings. In order to prevent the former, wear a high-quality pair of earrings, whether you buy it in a boutique or from a wholesale body jewelry store. The best way to prevent improper placement is not getting pierced by a gun since those who use the unsterilized devices tend to be unlicensed piercers. Although it may be more expensive it will lessen the chance of a rejection. Sleeping may become a pain after a new piercing.
Your sleep position may put pressure on your new piercing which will not only prolong the healing process but also increase the chance of seeing an infection the next morning. By pressing the piercing onto your pillow or bed sheets, you are exposing it to sweat and irritation. I would not recommend piercing both ears at the same time since it will create more difficulties, especially if you favor sleeping on one side more than the other.
Do not go swimming or explore a body of water right after you have been pierced. Pools, lakes and oceans will expose your piercing to a sea of bacteria that will cause an infection. Ideally, you should wait for at least a week and clean after every time you take a swim.
In case this is not obvious enough, be careful when taking off your shirts or hoodies. This is because the cartilage tissue is a different and tougher tissue to pierce through than an earlobe, so it is a bit more painful as a result. While some studios might charge more depending on the piercing, most of the the time they charge around the same price for their cartilage piercings.
Performing your own piercings can be risky. Infection, rejection, and poor placement may result. For the safest and best piercing, see a professional body piercer. Look up any accreditation or training required of professional piercers in your area. A blown vein occurs when a needle punctures through the vein and causes it to rupture. This will not only be painful but will increase the trauma to your ear. What can I do to hide my cartilage piercing?
Ask your piercer to put in a clear stud, or wear a beanie over it. Make sure to put on and take off the beanie very carefully to avoid getting the piercing caught. Piercings close up and heal very fast if you take them out shortly after being done. It would be best to keep cleaning it properly and allow it to heal before removing it. Consider choosing from jewelry that is labeled as a septum retainer, or horseshoe if you know you may need to do hide your ring for work or school.
Cartilage piercings are almost universally accepted by even more conservative companies. Cartilage piercings like daith, conch, and helix piercings are especially easy to hide. Choose water over alcohol lest you want to bleed more, slow the healing process, and potentially pass out during the procedure.
Because alcohol dehydrates you , it can slow blood circulation. Come hydrated and bring an extra water bottle just in case. Professional piercers use needles that are quite sharp and most commonly hollow , allowing the piercer to work with speed and precision to puncture your skin and cartilage. Your piercer will insert your jewelry using the end of the hollow needle. Who can forget that rather shocking crunch as your new stud was forced straight through your upper ear?
But piercing guns are not designed to pierce through cartilage , and the APP banned them because they pose sanitation concerns and cause tissue damage. If your piercer uses a gun, change direction and find someone else. Depending on your pain threshold, you may feel that a cartilage piercing is on par with, say, the very first part of a tattoo line — or slightly more painful than having an earlobe pierced.
It's equatable to having a cat jump on or off of your lap, accidentally digging in with one particularly sharp claw.
Take solace in the fact that that initial sting probably won't be unbearable. However, keep in mind that your newly pierced site may swell , and that's when you'll notice it most, usually as a dull ache or slight throbbing. Take ibuprofen after your procedure to help reduce inflammation.
Here's where the difference between cartilage and earlobe really comes into play. Ear lobes have a fair amount of blood flow, thus they heal pretty quickly they're right up there with tongue piercings when it comes to healing speed. That's a huge difference, and there's not a lot you can do beyond maintaining good hygiene and care, monitoring the healing, and dealing patiently with the discomfort.
Unless there is an issue with the size or material of your jewelry, don't change it until your piercing is fully healed. Cartilage piercings heal slowly internally, and if you remove your jewelry prior to the cartilage being stable, you run the potential of your body rejecting your piercing, healing improperly, or becoming infected.
Again, the heal time on a cartilage piercing can be up to a year. If you think your piercing has healed but aren't totally sure, consult with your piercing professional. Obviously, right? Well, it's not quite as simple as soap and water. Cartilage piercings require a saline solution , which your piercer may provide, or you can purchase one at a drugstore but avoid contact solution.
