From how to open your first piercing to how to care for it! How long does it take for it to heal and what should you be careful of?

by 4mili 05 Jul 2022

It can be a little scary getting your ears pierced for the first time.

"I want to reduce the burden on my skin as much as possible," "Should I use a piercer or a needle?" "I don't know how to care for it after it's pierced." I'm always worried...

We will answer any questions you may have about getting your first piercing so that you can feel at ease!

Q: How do you get your ears pierced?
——A. There are two methods: a piercer and a needle!

You can choose between two methods for piercing: a piercer or a needle.

Easy and simple piercer

A piercer is a device that allows you to pierce and insert a first piercing at the same time by simply pressing the slider. It can be easily pierced with a snap, just like a stapler.

Since you don't need to prepare your first earrings, you can save time choosing earrings!

There is little pain when you first open it, but you will feel a gradual pain after opening it.

[Recommended for these people♡]
・First time piercing

・I want to get my piercing done in an instant!

・I'm not confident in inserting the needle myself!

・Choosing your first piercing is a hassle!

Hole stabilization is quick! Needle

A needle is like an injection needle with the tip cut at an angle.

Once the needle has been drilled, you will need to insert the first piercing yourself.
Unlike a piercer, you will need to prepare your first piercing, but you can wear the piercing of your choice.

You might think, "This will be more painful than a piercer," but if you do it in one breath without hesitating, it won't hurt that much!

[Recommended for these people♡]

・Those who want to reduce the burden on their skin

・I want my piercing hole to stabilize quickly!

・I don't like the sound of the piercer piercing!

・You have no qualms about putting on your first piercing by yourself

If you're unsure about doing it yourself, get it done at the hospital!

If you're afraid of opening it yourself, you can have it done safely and securely at the hospital.

At medical institutions such as dermatology or cosmetic surgery clinics, you can have both ears pierced for around 5,000 to 10,000 yen!

Other benefits include receiving thorough aftercare and being prescribed oral medication.

Some hospitals allow you to bring your own piercer and first piercings, so be sure to check before your appointment.

Q. How long will it take before I can remove my first piercing?
--A. Make sure you don't remove it for 4 to 6 weeks!

It will take about 3 to 6 months for the earlobe piercing to heal.

To allow the piercing hole to stabilize, try not to remove your original piercing for 4 to 6 weeks after getting your ears pierced.

[Criteria for determining whether a piercing hole is complete]

- No pain when moving the piercing

There is no pain around the hole.

There is no swelling or pus

*The time it takes for the hole to be completed varies depending on the individual's constitution, etc.!

Q: How should I care for my piercing hole until it heals?
--A. Maintain a clean, gentle care to avoid irritation.

Daily care is essential until your piercing hole heals! Follow these easy 3-step care methods to keep it clean.

Easy at home ♡ 3 steps to care for your piercing hole

1. Lather up some mild soap and place it on your piercing (leave it on for 2-3 minutes).

2. If it doesn't hurt, gently move the piercing back and forth (cleaning the inside of the hole).

3. Rinse off in the shower and use a cotton swab or tissue to wipe off any moisture without irritating the skin.

Generally, there is no need to disinfect the hole, but if the hole does not stabilize, try disinfecting it.
