Here are some of the best places in Vancouver to get ear piercing done right — because you shouldn’t let just anyone curate your earscape.
A few words of advice: most piercing professionals recommend avoiding ear piercing guns. They aren’t sterile, they can cause tissue damage, and the types of studs that fit into them are often too short to allow for proper healing.
And always check what your new ear bling is made from. Surgical stainless steel, implant-grade titanium, and 14K or 18K gold are all excellent choices.

Twice daily use Neilmed saline spray to restore the natural pH balance of your healing tissue. Once daily, after showering, soak a clean Q-tip with Neilmed spray and gently remove any crusted matter from the jewelry. Do not use dry Q-tips as these can leave small fibres in your piercing. Special attention should be payed to a piercing in a small enclosed area. It is important to avoid allowing the area behind the jewelry to remain wet. A hair dryer on a cool setting can help dry the area.
Oral piercings require different aftercare, due to the fact that we use our mouths for lots of activities throughout the day. Rinse your mouth with cold water after any time you eat, drink, or smoke. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and whitening toothpaste during healing.
