How to pierce your ears safely
Piercers can be purchased for as little as 1,000 yen, and many people pierce their own ears. However, care must be taken as there is a risk of mis-positioning or failure.
Many clinics will pierce you for free if you bring your own piercer.
There are also piercing studios that specialize in piercing, and they use needles that are similar to syringe needles to pierce your ears.
It's less painful than using a piercer, and the resulting piercing hole is cleaner. Piercing is a medical procedure, so you should check in advance whether the piercing studio staff have a medical license. Minors need parental consent or parental supervision when getting pierced.
Piercing marks
If you leave the hole you drill, it will fill up, so you need to take care to maintain it.
Never reuse piercing needles or earrings as this increases the risk of infection.
Post and Catch
Depending on the location of the piercing hole, it may be difficult to close, and even if it does close, it may be prone to leaving a scar.
This is especially common among people with body piercings.
One reason for this is that the hole did not close properly. Also, dilation inevitably leaves a scar, and even if it does close, it tends to look like an acne scar. For those with facial piercings or belly button piercings, daily care is important as they are in a visible place.
If you keep your piercing holes clean on a regular basis, you can avoid leaving marks. However, if the piercing is in an area that you cannot remove, there is a high chance that such marks will remain, so be sure to remove the piercings frequently.
If you continue to experience failure, be careful! Don't make your own diagnosis, consult a doctor.
There is a risk of failure when you or a friend try to open it.
Failure to do so may not only be due to the way you open your eyes, but also due to your constitution, so if you continue to fail or experience any physical abnormalities, please see a dermatologist immediately.
If you do this too often, it may cause an infection.
It's called an atheroma, and when it repeatedly becomes infected, a sac forms and accumulates peeling skin inside, causing the lump to grow larger every year. When it grows larger, it can reach the size of a chocolate ball.
Although it is a benign tumor, if it appears on the earlobe it does not look good.
Although it is ultimately up to the individual's discretion, the incision of the surface skin can be kept to a minimum, only the atheroma beneath the skin can be removed, and if there is no pain, the surgery can be performed on an outpatient basis.
Also, atheromas caused by piercing may recur even if you get your ears pierced again, so we recommend that you consult a doctor with this in mind.
