They’re still a bit sore afterwards but overall I’m thrilled. I’ve always wanted to get my ears pierced but was told since I was a boy I could only get one pierced, so I never did it back then, but since I’m not actually a boy (I’m a trans girl) I figured why let that stop me.
Anyone got any recommendations for earrings I should get that suit a tomboy aesthetic? rn I have only the basic studs but I’m looking to get some more for after the healing process is complete. Any suggestions?
Congratulations! I got my other ear pierced early in my transition (one was already pierced and just needed stretched). The best advice is to leave them the hell alone other than maybe saline solution. If you’re like me, you’re going to want to wear all those cute/dangly earrings you see everywhere now. Resist that urge as best you can. Give it time and let them heal. It can take up to a year for your piercings to fully heal and every time you change your earrings before that process is complete, you add time to the clock.
Yeah I was told I should wear only the stud until it heals completely.
Correct. Don’t touch them, rinse them with saline, and you’ll be g2g. I got mine done last week and I absolutely love them. I hate needles, but oh my gosh I can’t stop looking at myself with them. And congrats!
