LOBE PIERCING FULL GUIDE

LOBE PIERCING PLACEMENT

The most common location for a lobe piercing is in the center of the earlobe. It's the area that offers the most space and is usually the least painful spot to pierce due to the softness of the tissue.

It's common for people to have multiple lobe piercings. These can be vertically aligned (one above the other) or horizontally aligned (side by side). The spacing and placement depend on the size of the individual's earlobe and personal preference.

The earlobe is one of the most universally suitable spots for piercing. It's often chosen for first-time piercings due to the lower pain level compared to other ear piercings.

LOBE PIERCING PROCEDURE

• The piercer will clean your earlobe with an antiseptic solution to ensure the area is sterile before piercing.
• They will mark the spot where the lobe piercing will be made, usually in the center of the lobe, or at the specific point you've agreed upon.
• The piercer will use sterilized equipment. Most professional piercers use a sterilized needle, which is generally considered safer and more precise than a piercing gun. It is important to note that pain levels can vary significantly from one person to another.
• The piercer carefully pushes the needle through the marked spot on your earlobe, following it immediately with the lobe jewelry.

HEALING TIME & PROCESS FOR LOBE PIERCING

The healing process : Right after getting the Lobe piercing, you may experience some pain, redness, and swelling. A small amount of bleeding is also normal in the first few days.

Stick to your cleaning routine, and avoid touching or rotating the jewelry unnecessarily.

Up to 6 weeks : The pain, redness, and swelling should gradually decrease.

• Typically, lobe piercings heal relatively quickly compared to other types of ear piercings. The average healing time is around 2 - 4 months. However, this can vary depending on individual health factors, aftercare practices, and lifestyle.
