Lobe Piercing

How painful is the Piercing?

Lobe piercing causes the least pain of all ear piercings. Here the cartilage tissue is not pierced, but only the fat and connective tissue, which is why it is the least painful piercing. The pain can vary depending on individual sensation and is approximately 2-3/10.

The ideal Lobe Piercing Jewelry

Lobe piercing jewelry is available in numerous different designs. Eye-catching Huggiesset with 5A zirconia crystals, or simpler earrings combined with one of our pendants and Chain. If you prefer something more discreet for everyday wear, our piercing studs are also a good choice. The lobe piercing can be styled to suit your individual taste.

Our piercing jewelry is processed very high quality. The closures work perfectly and withstand the influences of everyday life perfectly.

The right size

Each earlobe has a unique size, thickness and shape. It is important to choose the right length for you in our stud earrings and the appropriate inner diameter for the rings.

The inner diameter can be easily measured with a tape measure. With a freshly pierced lobe piercing, the earlobe is still slightly swollen. This could falsify your measured size. Therefore, wait until your piercing hole is completely healed before you buy your lobe piercing jewelry. Piercers often use piercing studs that are too large as initial jewelry, as they must expect the piercing site to swell more than twice.

For a healed lobe piercing, the length of the plug should be 6 to 8mm. The ring size for a fully healed lobe piercing is 6 to 8mm. There are no limits upwards.

The thickness of the needle used to pierce earlobe piercings is usually 1-1.2mm.

Materials

For a freshly pierced piercing, the material must be sterile and hypoallergenic. This is the only way to ensure that no bacteria or germs are transferred and no allergies are triggered.

Earrings containing nickel or earrings made of pure silver should not be worn on the ear under any circumstances, as nickel triggers allergies and silver can transfer toxins to the body. This could cause blood poisoning or cancer in the worst case.

Anti-allergenic materials include gold, titanium, white gold, platinum, rhodium and stainless steel. The highest quality and most durable piercing jewelry is made of real gold and white gold.

Our white gold is plated with platinum or rhodium to give the earring its typical white-silver shimmer. The coating is extremely hard, making the jewelry scratch resistant.

We use 5A zirconia stones. Qualitatively they are almost as hard as real diamonds and visually they have the same appearance. Since the zirconia stone is cheaper than the diamond, we can offer high quality piercing jewelry at fair prices at the same time.

How long does it take for a Lobe Piercing to heal?

It can take 6-12 weeks for a lobe piercing to heal completely. Proper care is crucial for a quick healing. In our article on the subject of piercing care you will learn everything important that you should pay attention to. Generally you should not get pierced in summer, because you should not sweat, bathe, go into the sun (solarium) or into the sauna during the first weeks. All these influences can affect your healing and cause infections.

We recommend that you have your Lobe piercing pierced with a piercing stud. Some piercers also offer to use a ring as initial jewelry. However, we do not recommend this, since the healing process can be greatly prolonged with a ring and the originally straight piercing canal adapts to the round shape of the ring.
