Ear Piercing Chart

Introduction: Brief history of ear piercing.

Ear piercing has a long and colorful history.
Ear piercing patterns and types date back to ancient Egypt where women ornamented their ears with small gold earrings.
In India, women wore large earrings made of solid gold or silver.
Ear piercing became popular in the United States in the early 1900s when sailors and soldiers brought the piercings back from overseas.

The first formal ear piercing education program was offered at the University of Utah in 1974.
Today, there are many different styles of ear piercing, and people can get pierced anywhere on their body except for their tongues.
The most common location for ear piercings is the lobe of the ear,
but people also get pierced in the cartilage at the base of their ears,
along the ridge that runs through them, and even on top of their heads!

There are many types of ear piercings and the list of common piercings is constantly evolving.
Here we will discuss some of the most popular piercing types and their benefits and drawbacks.
The cartilage that makes up the external ear consists mostly of water, which means that it is a very porous area.
The skin surrounding this cartilage also contains a lot of nerve endings,
so piercers can often feel sensation when jewelry goes in or out.
Additionally, because cartilage moves quite a bit with changes in temperature,
it’s often not as sturdy as other body parts when pierced, which can lead to stretched or broken earrings.

One type of piercing that is especially popular among those looking for a unique look is the helix piercing.

Procedure: How to get a piercing done.

If you’re thinking about getting a piercing, it’s important to be aware of the various procedures and what’s involved.
The Ear Piercing Chart provides an overview of the key steps in Getting a Piercing Done.

The first step is to decide if you want an ear piercing done.
If you are under 18 years old, your parent or guardian must give permission for a minor to get a piercing.
There are two types of ear piercings: cartilage piercings and females’ earrings.
Cartilage piercings involve making a small hole in the cartilage that covers your earlobe – this is usually done with a needle and is relatively painless.

Aftercare: How to take care of a new piercing.

As with any new piercing, it is important to take care of your new ear piercing.
Follow these simple steps to ensure a smooth and healthy healing process:

-Clean the pierced area twice daily with cool, running water and a mild soap.
Be sure to avoid using harsh detergents or scrubbing agents as they may irritate the skin. Pat dry with a clean towel.

-Apply an antibiotic ointment to the pierced area every day for seven days in order to prevent infection.
You can purchase this ointment from your piercer or pharmacy.

-Avoid contact with anyone else who has colds or flu, as these conditions are highly contagious and could lead to further infection. Stay at home if you feel ill.

Risks and complications: What can go wrong with piercings.

Piercing is a popular and often safe choice for people who want to express their individuality.
However, there are risks and complications that can go wrong with piercings.
Ear piercing charts can help identify potential problems and ensure that procedures are safe.

Some common risks associated with ear piercing include infection, bleeding, pain, discharge, scarring, and headaches. Infection can occur from bacteria that gets into the ear while the piercing is being done or when the earring starts to get loose and turns into an infection. Bleeding may occur from tears in the skin around the ear or due to trauma to the cartilage of the earlobe. Pain may be caused by pressure on nerve endings, jewelry that is too tight, or incorrectly placed piercings. Discharge may occur from pus or other fluids that build up in the ear after Piercing.
