Time it right - Starring in a musical with tons of quick costume changes? Right in the middle of sports season? In a word: Wait. "You really want to avoid bumping your ears," says Lisa Bubbers, co-founder of the piercing studio Studs.
Pick the right piercer - "Make sure your piercing studio uses single-use sterilized needles," advises Bubbers. "These cause less tissue trauma, require shorter healing time and are more hygienic than a piercing gun." Have sensitive skin? Ask for 14k or 18k solid gold starter earrings.
Prep correct - "Come to your appointment well rested, eat a snack before and hydrate," advises Bubbers. The better you're feeling, the better prepared you'll be for the pierce.
