Q: Is the ear-piercing tool disposable? Can it be reused?
A: The ear piercing kit is disposable and should not be reused for two main reasons:
1. After piercing, the earring remains in the ear to avoid cross-infection, hence it cannot be reused.
2. The tool's slot is specifically designed to fit its accompanying earring, and it's not compatible with other styles.
Q: Can extra earrings be provided?
A: No, the ear piercing kit and earring come pre-packaged together and are not available separately. If you wish to pierce two ears, you need to order two units (a pair).
Q: Does piercing hurt?
A: It's virtually painless! The specialized piercing earrings are very sharp, and the piercing is done quickly to minimize any pain.
Q: Can I immediately change to different earrings after piercing?
A: Absolutely not! The earring should remain in the ear after piercing. Removing it immediately could result in losing the hole, bleeding, and pain.
Q: When can I change to my own earrings?
A: We recommend waiting 1-2 weeks before changing to different earrings. Changing them too soon can cause new wounds and potentially lead to infection. Daily disinfection of the ear with alcohol or iodine (available in pharmacies) is advised to prevent bacterial infection.
Q: What if I'm worried about allergies?
A: No need to worry. The earring material is surgical-grade steel, the same used in medical surgical instruments, which is safe for the human body and has excellent anti-allergic properties.
Q: After piercing, should the earring be tight against the ear?
A: After piercing, there should be a slight gap between the earring and the ear, and it should not be too tight. If it feels too tight, adjust the earring back. There is a slot on the puncture tool specifically designed to fit the earring back.
