WhitneyTypes of Ear Piercings
June 19th 2008 14:53
Along with navel piercings, ear piercings are probably another of the more popular piercing amongst anyone of any age and any gender. There are so many different noks and crannies on your ear, which means that they can all be pierced.
Ears are generally pretty easy to heal, especially in the lobe area. The average healing rate is about 6-10 weeks, and cartlidge piercings taking a little longer.
To heal an ear piercing, you want to clean it with saline solution twice a day, soaking it for about 10-15 minutes. The longer you have the piercing, you can go to cleaning once a day. I'd give it at bare minimum 2 weeks before reducing the number of times you clean the piercing in one day. Just make sure not to over clean, as you can dry out the piercing and irritate it.
Now, as for the different types of ear piercings, the basic ones include:
* Lobe
* Horizontal Lobe (Transverse Lobe)
* Orbital
* Industrial
* Conch (Inner and Outer)
* Daith
* Helix
* Rook
* Snug
* Tragus
* Anti-Tragus
