Plan ahead. Select an established and professional piercer to get the job done properly. Go somewhere with high standards hygiene, a good reputation and any required licenses. Here are some places you can get your piercing: Claire's Piercing Pagoda Tattoo Parlors (some) Beauty shops (some)
Make an appointment. You are likely not to enjoy getting your ears puckered as much if you make it a spur of the moment thing.
Decide if you want a gun or needle to be used when you get your ears pierced. Guns, some believe, are likely to tear the ear. It is recommended to use a needle and get a professional from a tattoo and piercing parlor, especially if you are getting a piercing on other parts of your ear besides your lobe.
Sit down while your parents pay if a child or preteen. Listen closely to everything the piercer says, especially the terms and conditions.
Prepare while your piercer is setting up. If you feel afraid, take out your stress ball, if you have one. Try your hardest to relax!
Choose what studs you want. There are usually a lot to choose from. Try to choose some that go with all outfits because you will have to wear them for about six weeks. (depending whether it was a gun or a needle)
Close your eyes when the piercing is actually taking place. It helps you relax and relief the tension.
Sit back relax as they pierce your ear. It should barely hurt.
Congratulate yourself. You survived this and deserve it.
Splurge. Now for the fun part!-- You can finally go earring shopping!
Don't take your studs out until the date specified by your piercer! Once that day rolls around, you can take the earrings out. Remember, though, to replace them with different earrings so the piercings do not heal over. Also, make sure you only wear posts for the first six months.
