Piercing needles are hollow with a sharp tip. Needles are designed to pierce through the ear to create an opening and are versatile enough to be used for both body and ear piercings. As the earring is not attached to the needle, it will have to be inserted into the fresh piercing afterwards. The person piercing the ear would need to use their hands to complete the piercing so it should be noted that it is not a contactlessprocess.

Piercing instruments are a little different. They are much easier to use and don’t require needles. Our piercing instruments use a single-use sterile cartridge and avoid any direct contact with your ear. They allow for greater control and precision during piercing, making them a great option for anyone getting their ears pierced for the first or fourth time! Also, the piercing and earring insertion is done in the same step, allowing for a quicker piercing process. The instrument automatically loads the butterfly back, and the jewelry can be worn post-healing period. Here at Claire’s, your health and safety are important, which is why we strictly use piercing instruments with single-usecartridges.

The cleansing process is simple. To ensure proper healing, always wash your hands before touching a new piercing. Hold the front of the earring and make half turns each way, two to three times per day. Never remove the earring backs during cleaning or push it in too tight. The notch at the end of the post will help guide the customer where the backing needs to rest for proper healing. Clean the front and back of your ear three times a day with your aftercare solution on a cotton pad. Keep your new piercing free from soap, perfume, or hair and cosmetic products until fully healed. We also suggest that you avoid swimming for 24 hours after your new piercing. That’s it! Following these instructions will help keep yours or your child’s piercingshealingwell.

The best way to avoid infection is to follow the aftercare process and ensure you’re washing your hands thoroughly before touching the pierced area. Make sure that your child doesn’t play with the new piercings, as that could lead to irritation and infection. Clean the area adequately and three times a day to ensure it heals properly. Avoid having soaps, hair products or perfumes touch the new piercing and rinse after shampooing as they could irritate the new piercing. Also, keep dry after bathing, swimming, orexercise.

Getting a new piercing is exciting, and you or your child may want to rush out and upgrade your first piercing. But before you do, know that it’s best not to change the earrings until you have completed the aftercare period. When you can change your earrings depends on the location of the piercing and the aftercare solution you choose.
