Fact or fiction: Getting your ears pierced really hurts

 

Check these out, too...

My mom said I could get my ears pierced when I turn 12, and my birthday is right around the corner. I’m really excited, but I’m starting to get nervous, too. Does getting your ears pierced hurt?

 

Most girls report that getting your ear lobe pierced is pretty painless. You’ll feel a sharp pinch for a few seconds, and your ears might be throbbing for a few hours after the fact, but it should not hurt. And so long as you take care of your new piercings, turning your posts and cleaning the hole daily with hydrogen peroxide, you should be able to ward of infection.

 

While some say that ear piercing guns are quicker and more painless than a sterile needle, there has been a lot of controversy lately over the safety of ear piercing guns because it’s impossible to sterilize them, and they also seem to have a high chance for mishaps. We recommend you avoid mall kiosks and opt for a professional piercing shop or reputable jewelry store, and if at all possible, have your piercing done with a sterilized, one-time-use needle rather than a piercing gun.  Pick hypoallergenic studs to minimize risk of your body reacting the metal earring, and listen to and follow the care directions you’re given!

NEVER EVER EVER EVER clean a piercing with hydrogen peroxide! Especially cartilage piercings. It will make the skin around the piercing dry and cracked. And it will make the piercing bleed and prevent proper healing. Instead use the solution the piercer gave you or a sea salt soak.

It's painless. I got mine done in grade.2 and it's was painless and it didn't hurt after that. DO NOT TAKE YOUR EARING'S OUT BEFORE THE TIME THEY GIVE YOU NOT EVEN 1 DAY!!!!!!!!! I took it out one day before and it grew over a little bit and I had to shove my earing through the skin. Well actually my mom did it. It really hurt so don't do that! If they say ex:3 weeks it might be best to wait 4.Have fun getting your ear pierced Smile

Since my counselor works with kids a lot, do you think she could give me tips on how to be better at taking care of the kids? They're not my responsibility quite as much anymore but when they are which is a lot less than they used to be, I want to be good at it







The best person to get advice from is someone who is experienced. A counselor is a great person to get tips on taking care of kids better since she is experienced with that field!
