Types of ear piercing we do

Most people start with the lobe. If you want something different, a cartilage piercing like the helix is the next favourite.

PiercingWhere on the earUsual healing time
LobeSoft lower part of the earAbout 6 to 8 weeks
Helix (cartilage)Upper outer rim of the earAbout 3 to 6 months, sometimes longer
  • Earlobe Piercing – This is the most preferred form of piercing; the ear lobe is soft and fleshy which makes it most suitable for piercing.
  • Ear Cartilage Piercing – Cartilage is a connective tissue which is softer than the bones but harder than the skin. Ear Cartilage Piercing is the piercing done on the topmost part of the ear. The most common type of ear cartilage piercing is called the Helix Piercing.

Needle ear piercing vs gun: why we use a needle

At our studios, every ear piercing in Bangalore is done with a needle. It’s sterilised and fresh for every client.

A piercing needle makes a clean, smooth hole. A piercing gun pushes a blunt stud through the skin with force, and the gun itself can’t be sterilised the same way. With a needle you usually get less pressure on the ear and an easier heal.

How our ear piercing process works

The piercing process is very hassle-free. First, a fresh piercing needle and the jewel to be pierced are both sterilized. The area of the ear is marked for precision and local anesthesia is applied on the region. A sterilized receiving tube is used to hold the ear in place, a small hole is made using the needle and the jewel is added, hence completing the piercing process.

Ear piercing aftercare: do's and don'ts

Clean the pierced area with warm water to avoid infections but ensure that you don’t overdo the same too. Avoid water sports/ swimming till the area heals completely. Avoid exposing the pierced area, directly to sunlight as much as possible. Also refrain from meddling with the newly added jewelry as it may hamper with the healing.

A few more tips from our team:

  • Wash your hands before you touch the piercing.
  • Sleep on the other side for the first few weeks.
  • Don’t twist or change the jewellery until it has healed.
  • Keep it out of pools and the sea while it heals. Here’s what the NHS says about swimming after a piercing.

If it stays red, swollen or painful after a few days, call us or see a doctor.

Ear piercing FAQs

How much does ear piercing cost in Bangalore?

It depends on the type of piercing and the jewellery you pick. Message us on WhatsApp with what you want and we’ll share the exact price before you come in.

Does ear piercing hurt?

A lobe piercing feels like a quick pinch and it’s over in a second. Cartilage, like the helix, feels a bit stronger, but it’s still only a few seconds.

How long does an ear piercing take to heal?

Lobes usually heal in about 6 to 8 weeks. Cartilage piercings take longer, often 3 to 6 months. Keep it clean and don’t change the jewellery too early.

Do you use a needle or a piercing gun?

A needle, always. It’s sterilised and fresh for every client, which is cleaner and gentler on your ear than a gun.
