Reopening an Ear Piercing. Ears Previously Pierced, But Now Seemed Closed?

Ears Pierced at a Kiosk or Accessory Store?

Have you ever had your ears pierced at a kiosk or retail accessory store

offering ear piercing in unsanitary or questionable conditions?

Many of these locations use reusable ear-piercing guns that cannot be sterilized after touching the ear.

Gloves may protect the provider — but they do not protect your ears.

This can often be a problem for successfully healing an Ear Piercing form the very beginning..

A reusable Ear Piercing Gun used at Kiosks and Retail Accessory Stores can not be sterilized after the Ear is touched. The provider only protects themselves with the use of gloves.

Without the proper Ear Piercing and preventive aftercare, over time,

a variety of issues can lead to problems such as:

• Earrings falling out shortly after the initial piercing with reinstalling

• Difficulty reinserting earrings

• Earrings removed too early during healing

• Earrings taken out for work, school, or events — and never put back in

• Discomfort, sensitivity, or inability to wear earrings at all

If any of this sounds familiar, you are not alone.

Ears Previously Pierced — But Now Seem Closed?

Do not re-pierce your ears. Your original ear piercings can often be safely reopened.

Reopen Your Ear Piercings — Don’t Re-Pierce Them

Re-piercing through scar tissue or improperly healed channels can cause:

Reopening preserves your original piercing path and is often the safer, more successful option.
