Tuesday, December 30th, 2008Ear piercing; How long untill safe from infection?
Sunday, December 21st, 2008
I got my ear pierced a few days ago and I was wondering how long will it be that I can be sure that it won’t get infected. I already know that it’ll take 6 to 8 weeks to completely heal, but I just want to know when to stop worrying about if it’ll get infected or not. Oh, and this is just a lobe piercing, not cartilage.

Sunday, December 21st, 2008Loren’s Ear Piercing
Sunday, December 21st, 2008
Baby Loren getting her ears pierced for the very first time at the mall (6 months old) 12/11/2007
8/21/2008 UPDATE
To Whom It May Concern:
As the mother of Loren I am shocked to read many of the comments posted for this particular video. I hadn’t realized that broadcasting a simple milestone in our baby’s life would create such controversy.
Piercing our child’s ears is simply a cosmetic enhancement. And whether or not she chooses to wear earrings when she’s older, is entirely her decision. We just gave her the option and conveinence of wearing earrings at her discretion without having to recall any painful exeperience every time she wears earrings. It’s not like she’s going to obsess over these “little holes” in her ears when she’s older. (I, myself had my ears pierce at the same age and the only time I wore earrings since was on my wedding day. I chose not to, for personal/safety reasons (loren might rip earrings off my ears).
Furthermore, it’s not like we pierced her nose, naval, or any other body part, or put spikes in her ears!! Secondly, the use of a gun to pierce ears is a common practice (it’s not like we did it old school with ice and a needle). We actually asked if the “ear piercers” were experienced (years+) and the procedure of having 2 ears done at simultaneously saved us the time of having to return for the 2nd ear and spared Loren a second dose of pain. We wouldn’t want to put her through that again! Last but not least, she won’t remember the pain and currently her ears are perfectly fine and she doesn’t mind them at all.
Seriously, people, calm down, it’s just ears! If ear piercing was so horrible, why would people be willing to want to do it? (this is not the only youtube video with piercings)
Ask a guy, would they have wanted to relive the pain of circumcision as an adult? similar concept. please, leave it at that.
FYI: The intention of this comment was not to offend any persons but to explain our reaction to the comments posted by the viewers. Thank you.

I have some ear piercing antiseptic from when i got my ears pierced. Can I use that to clean my pierced nose, because I ran out of the solution that the piercer gave me?
Yes, it is a solution from the store Claire’s.

After the prescribed healing time, the earrings should be removed and the holes washed with soap and water daily.

If infection does occur, a physician may prescribe antibiotics to treat the problem.

How do I pull out a cartilage (ear) piercing that is so very painful to the touch?
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008
I have piercing in the cartilage of my ear. I had it pierced early last year and it still hurts. Is this unusual for a piercing to still hurt even after so much time has gone by? I want to pull it out so bad, but the pain is awful.
