Industrial Ear Piercing: Pain, Cost, Aftercare
Industrial piercings have been a popular body modification choice since they were first coined in Body Play magazine in 1992. Broken down to basics, an industrial piercing is two holes connected by one piece of jewelry—typically a barbell. With so few guidelines, the possibility for customization is endless. You can go for an ornate bar or something super minimal. You can choose to include gemstones or go for smooth steel. And while industrial piercings have historically had a punk, grunge aesthetic, the personalization aspect means it can take on any vibe you want.
When considering what you want your industrial piercing to look like, it’s also important to think about placement on your ear. Industrial piercings are anatomy dependent, so what works for someone else may not work for you, says Australia-based piercer, Eden Cox.
“Most people do not have the right anatomy to get a traditional industrial piercing, ” she says. “That's why it's important to research your piercer and find one that will work with your anatomy and do something suitable for the shape of your ear.

“[An] Industrial piercing is a broad term generally used to describe any two piercings connected by a single barbell, ” says Atlanta-based piercer Cozmo Faris.
Also called bar or scaffolding piercings, industrial piercings are placed on the ear and go directly through the cartilage at two separate points that are typically around an inch and a half apart. The piercing is always done with a needle, never a gun, and you should be sure you’re seeing an experienced and professional piercer—not just the least expensive one.
“There are several methods, but I would say typically a piercer would first pierce one side with a single-use disposable needle then insert jewelry into it that is long enough to support both piercings, ” says Faris. “A second needle would then be used to make the other piercing, and the excess room on the jewelry would then be transferred into the second piercing, connecting them.”

The traditional version of an industrial piercing consists of a helix (or outer, upper ear) piercing linked to a forward helix (or inner, upper ear) piercing by a barbell. However, there are so many different variations of the piercing (an arrow, a snake) that you can completely customize it to your look — all you need is two separate points on the ear and a barbell.
If you’re worried about how much an industrial piercing will hurt, remember that it’s a pinch, so the pain will happen quickly and then be over in the same manner. Remember that industrial piercings have two holes, though, so you will have to deal with the pain twice. Depending on your tolerance, you may feel anything from just a little to a lot of pain.
After the needle is removed from the piercing sites, you may feel some soreness, but it won’t be a sharp or searing pain of any sort—and it’s a sign that your new piercing is already starting to heal. Piercings don’t have a set amount of healing time, though. Instead, how long the process takes really depends on each individual person.

“Estimated healing time is about four to six months; they can sometimes take up to a year to heal, though, based on aftercare and the individual client's immune system, ” says Faris. “Simply put: Healthy people heal quicker.”
If you’ve gotten pierced before, you may feel comfortable with the healing process. However, industrial piercings have a particular element that makes their healing process unique: two separate holes.
“This type of piercing because it is two piercings in one typically takes a longer time to heal, ” says Michele Green, MD, a New York-based dermatologist.

There are a number of things that can prolong the healing process. For one, if the piercing gets caught in clothing or hair, it can snag and cause irritation. It’s important to keep your hair out of your face and to be gentle when getting dressed to avoid any issues that would add to the healing time. Following a proper aftercare procedure is the best way to avoid prolonging the healing process in any way, as you can be sure it’ll heal properly and as quickly as your immune system allows when everything is done correctly.
The cost of an industrial piercing, like any body modification, will vary depending on your geographic location and the shop. Piercings will also be separated into two different charges: the actual piercing cost and that of the jewelry, both of which can range in price.
“In a quality piercing studio, there are two costs to consider. First, there is a piercing service fee; then, the cost of jewelry, ” says Faris. “Separating the two costs allows the client to leave with something as simple as a basic titanium barbell or as nice as a solid gold barbell with genuine diamonds. We have dozens of jewelry options though, so ultimately the price will depend on what is selected.”

“Connecting two piercings with a single piece of jewelry isn't the easiest thing for your body to adjust to so it is pretty important to be diligent with aftercare, ” Faris notes. “Industrial piercings are a big responsibility and they take a lot of care and attention for them to heal properly, ” says Cox. “They must be cleaned every day with saline, must avoid any pressure on them, and the hardest part is they cannot be slept on during the healing process. They require a lot of time and patience.”
Faris notes that aftercare for an industrial piercing is similar to other ear piercings. First, a sterile saline solution is applied to the piercing site and allowed to air dry. “As with any piercing, cleaning the area twice daily is important to avoid infection, ” says Green.
It’s important to remember to wash your hands before cleaning your piercing to be sure you’re not potentially transferring bacteria to the open wound. In fact, it’s best not to touch your new piercing at all.
