Maintenance rules for ear piercing:

The healing time will vary greatly, for a cartilage piercing It will necessarily take more time than for a lobe piercing for example. Cartilage is avascular, which means that little blood circulates in this area, which is why piercings in this area take more time to heal and will be more sensitive to infections. The lobe has a higher blood flow, so it does not have the same problems.

It will therefore be necessary to follow a care routine and interview instructions so that everything goes as best as possible.

In addition to Always have clean hands To touch your piercing and clean it 2 to 3 times a day using a saline solution it will be necessary:

  • Avoid playing with your piercing jewelry. It would be tempting to play with your jewelry and break the small crusts in your ear, but it could irritate the tissues of the skin or bring bacteria. To remove the crusts, it will simply be necessary to remove them with delicacy using a compress soaked in a saline solution.
  • Watch out for clashes. Whether with your hair, a garment, or your hands, your piercing jewelry may be in the way and clings. Not only can it hurt, but it could also generate complications such as rejection of piercing or a scar. If you have long hair, do not hesitate to attach it hanging the first weeks of healing. It will also be necessary to avoid headphones and promote a helmet that does not pressure the ear.
  • Avoid lengthening on your pierced ear. This is why we will often advise you not to pierce both ears at the same time, otherwise it may be complicated if you are not comfortable sleeping on your back. You will also have to be careful to sleep on a clean pillow every night, to avoid bacteria in your new piercing. If you are not determined to clean your pillowcase daily, you can simply put a clean garment over it.
  • Beware of what you consume. As with any healing, it will happen better if you take care of your body. This means: stay hydrated, sleep enough, avoid drinking alcohol or smoking in too much.

How to choose the right piercing jewelry

For a new piercing it will be essential to choose an implantable grade jewel, you can notably find the list of standards for installation jewelry on the app in the app clicking here

What material to choose

  • Titanium: Titanium is an improved version of surgical steel, it is lighter, contains no nickel and will be more durable. It is hypoallergenic and can be used as an installation jewel in its ASTM-F136 grade.
  • Gold: If you like classes and sustainable jewelry, gold will be your best choice. Provided to take care of it, he will return it to you, accompanying you all your life. For an implantable piercing jewel you will have to choose a 14 or 18 carat gold jewelry, because the 9 carats contains nickel and the 24 carats is too flexible to make it a piercing jewel. It is very strongly not recommended to use a gold plated jewel as a pose jewel.
  • Surgical steel: Steel jewelry has become popular thanks to their very low price, however these jewelry contains nickel, 10% of which are an allergy, and are not very durable. It is also not recommended to wear it as an installation jewel. However, he is considered implantable in his Grade ASTM-F138.
  • Silver: This is also to be avoided as an installation jewel, because it is often only 92.5% pure and composed of other alloys (including nickel in particular) which risk causing infections. The money is also very flexible and may damage or scratch, which will therefore expose you to infections. This is why at Obsidian we do not recommend the use of money for your piercing, unless it is completely heal and you do not wear the jewelry for too long.

Choose the right size

For your pose jewelry, the pierrur will choose an adapted size to be able to accommodate a slight swelling, it will therefore put you later when your piercing has deflated, a more suitable bar or ring.
