Common areas of piercing

Common locations for piercing include the rook, tragus, and across the helix .The simple term "ear piercing" usually refers to an earlobe piercing, whereas piercing in the upper part of the external ear are often referred to as "cartilage piercing." Cartilage piercing is more complex to perform than earlobe piercing and take longer to heal.

Caring for pierced ears

You don't want germs with your newly pierced ears, so it's very important to keep your ears clean. For several days after the piercing, you need to clean your ears and put antibiotic ointment on them. Whoever is doing the cleaning should follow these steps twice a day: Wash your hands. Use a cotton ball or swab to apply rubbing alcohol to the earlobe or lobes. Gently rotate the earring in the ear.

Equipments

Only an ear piercing gun or a needle should be used to pierce an ear. The gun is recommended for use on the lobe of the ear only. The reusable ear-piercing gun should not come in contact with the ear. All equipment and jewelry used to penetrate the skin must be sterilized. The jewelry should not be handled when loading it into the gun or inserting it into the opening when using a needle. Disposable cartridges, which sit in the gun, are used to hold the jewelry in place for the piercing. Most jewelry comes in pre-sterilized packaging and should be intact prior to the piercing.
