Healing made practical
You'll know how to clean the area and when jewellery changes may be considered.
Choose a placement that works with your ear
A new ear piercing can be a small change with plenty of personal meaning, so it's worth taking time over the position. We begin by discussing your preferred look and considering your ear anatomy, existing piercings and the balance you want to create. The placement is marked for you to review before the piercing takes place. We then follow a structured process through piercing and initial jewellery fitting. Knowing what will happen at each stage can help if you're excited but nervous, giving you time to ask questions rather than feeling rushed into the final position.
Support healing with consistent daily care
Good aftercare matters once you leave the studio. We'll explain how to keep the piercing clean, avoid unnecessary touching and reduce the chance of disturbing the area as it heals. Recovery time varies according to the part of the ear pierced and your individual healing. This also affects when a jewellery change may be appropriate, so avoid changing it too soon simply because the outside looks settled. Following the guidance consistently gives the piercing time to recover and helps you feel confident about caring for it at home.
Frequently asked questions
Can I check the position before my ear is pierced?
Yes. We'll discuss the look you want, consider your ear anatomy and mark the proposed placement. You can review the position before we continue, giving you the opportunity to ask questions or discuss an adjustment.
How should I care for a new ear piercing?
Keep the piercing clean, avoid unnecessary touching and follow the healing guidance we provide. Try not to disturb the initial jewellery. Consistent care matters even when the outside begins to look settled, as healing continues beneath the surface.
When can I change the initial jewellery?
Suitable timing depends on the part of the ear pierced and how you heal. Changing jewellery too early may disturb the area. We'll explain the expected healing approach for your piercing so you have a clearer idea of when to consider a change.
