How much pain is normal after an ear piercing?

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009
Katie-Belle asked:


I got my ears pierced four days ago (so this question may be premature, but I wanna be sure). They were find the first couple of days but now they hurt whenever I twist them, which I know I’m supposed to do. The after care instructions I got said that pain, redness and swelling are NOT normal after an ear piercing. Should I be worried, or is it too early? The pain isn’t too bad and it’s not constant, if that makes a difference.

I’m getting my upper ear pierced (ear cartilage) in a couple of days. I wanted to know what I can do before an after I get the piercing to prevent a keloid (bump) from forming. Thanks so much. Any advice would be much appreciated =)

How much swelling from a tongue piercing is normal?

Monday, February 2nd, 2009
electromglol asked:


This is the beginning of the third day that I’ve had my tongue pierced. They did it at an angle and left less room for swelling than normal. I’ve noticed past couple of days that the top ball is digging into my tongue and making quite an indent. Does it sound like it still has potential to be a healthy piercing a week from now as long as I keep it clean? From what I understand, the 2-3rd day is the peak of a tongue piercing’s swelling.
