SPORTS & A NEW EAR PIERCING

Many amateur and professional sports allow athletes to wear jewelry during practice or competition.
However, some sports—especially soccer—strictly prohibit earrings, and most officials

will not allow piercings to be taped over.

If this wasn’t considered before your ear piercing service—

or if you joined a team afterward—here are safe, practical options:

 

SAFE OPTIONS FOR SPORTS SEASONS

Option 1: Temporary Coverage

• Cover the front of the earring with skin-colored cloth bandage material

• Cut a small round piece and apply precisely over the jewelry

• Remove and replace as needed

• ​

Option 2: Nylon Line Retainer 

• The most efficient and trouble-free solution for most sports

• Appears nearly invisible, often resembling a small blemish

• Safe to wear throughout the sports season

• Can be painted for special occasions to resemble real earrings

This is the safest way to retain a new, unhealed piercing during sports seasons or restricted events.

You may schedule an appointment for professional retainer installation

or pick up a retainer pack during your visit at Baby Ear Piercing.

IMPORTANT SAFETY REMINDER

Always protect your piercing during sports activities.
Use extra caution when putting on or removing protective gear, especially helmets and helmet straps.
