How many ears can be pierced at once?

The number of holes you can make at once varies depending on various factors such as pain tolerance, skin condition and the recommendations of the professional service. In general, however, it is recommended not to take more than two to three holes per ear in one session to reduce the risk of complications. If you want more, it is best to wait until the first holes have healed properly.

To reduce the risk of infection, it is important to clean your new holes regularly. Most professionals will recommend an antiseptic solution or saline solution for this purpose. Avoid alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, as these can be too harsh and interfere with the healing process. Always follow the specific advice you receive about aftercare.

Care advice when you have your ears pierced?

Caring for your new ear hole is critical to preventing infection and ensuring a smooth healing process. Here are some basic tips:

Clean regularly: Use the antiseptic solution or saline solution you have been recommended.

Avoid poking and twisting: This can irritate the hole and delay healing.

Pay attention to signs of infection: Redness, swelling and tenderness are signs you should take seriously and possibly consult a doctor.

Don't change jewelry too soon: Wait until the hole has completely healed before changing to another piece of jewelry.

Getting your ears pierced is an exciting experience, but it's important to be well informed and follow all care instructions to ensure everything goes as it should. Good luck on your ear piercing journey!
