Lobe piercings are usually quick and mild, while cartilage piercings may feel sharper and take longer to heal. How long do ear piercings take to heal? Lobes usually take 6–8 weeks, while cartilage piercings can take 6–12 months depending on placement. What jewellery can I start with? We use high-quality starter jewellery, usually simple studs, to allow for safe healing before switching to other designs. How do I care for a new ear piercing? Clean daily with saline solution, avoid touching or twisting jewellery, and keep hair and products away from the piercing. Can I have multiple ear piercings at once? Yes, many clients choose more than one at the same time. Your piercer will advise based on your anatomy and comfort.
