Hey everyone!!
The ear piercing clinic dates and times to follow, along with the different packages available 😊 keep your eyes peeled
Here are a few useful pointers for those who have children that would like to get their ears pierced.
All children who have their first ear lobe piercings with me, will receive a goody bag, containing building blocks, similar to the big brand, wild flower seeds to help the butterflies and bees, fidgets, stickers, a lolly and a certificate, there's an easy to understand aftercare sheet with sterile saline wound wash too. 🥰
1. Prepare your child. Tell them it will hurt and that we use needles- almost exactly like what doctors use. We do this so that they anticipate worst and end up doing better :)
2. Let them know that it hurts afterwards too! Piercings take time to heal- lobes often take up 6 months to fully heal. During this process they can be tender+sore (but nothing like getting pierced type of pain).
3. Choose the right time frame. If your child participates in swimming or sports (that often time make participants remove them or submerge them), choose a time where they aren't involved in such activities for the healing period of up to 6 months.
Do not submerge the piercings while it is healing. This includes baths, swimming, etc. This is due to possible contaminants in bodies of water. Technically, piercings are not 100% safe to submerge until they are 100% healed.
*Methods around this include-
--swim caps that cover the ears entirely (for ear piercings- these sell on Amazon)
4. Let them know that cleaning is necessary. At first, while the piercings are still irritated, it will hurt a little to do this. This isn't bad and will definitely go away, but piercings are a responsibility and, if not cared for properly, they can become infected!
Some parents may choose to treat their children with over-the-counter pain medication at their discretion after the piercings are done - this isn't typically necessary, though.
Thank you SO much for reading through this and for deciding on safe piercing for your kids. Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions- I would love to help and hear your input :)
