Ear lobe piercing not healing :(

We all live and learn, I've had many gunned piercings and even OWNED one at one point. I also had some really sh*t tattoos as well.

Where do you live?

I did Beauty Therapy at college and did a "course" on using a piercing gun - Just 3 hours sat in a room, a woman read some stuff off a sheet, we did a practice piercing on a friend and that was literally it! I think I used mine twice then never touched it again. £30 well spent XD

Oh heck! I just bought mine off eBay like a loon lol!

I knew a girl who worked for that vile place where they butcher babies ears and also sell tacky jewellery/accessories she said it was about an hour of training and they "pierced" a piece of card a few times and were good to go...scary.

Go see Mike at Broad Street Studio in Bath, one of the best piercers in the UK. You're lucky to be so close!

Mike is lovely - he's done some of my piercings for me.

If you were pierced in a quality studio then you would have been pierced with a needle and been fitted with implant grade, highly polished titanium jewellery. Cheaper titanium can sometimes cause irritation.

I actually didn't know this until you mentioned it TikiMan. I have now bought some more upmarket (more expensive ones) now.

Rk22 - Just a thought as I have had a few problems lately with all of my ear piercing's - It was suggested I try BPA oil every night. It is certainly doing something. Please ask for needle piercings in future. I refuse the gun now-a-days. When I had my ears and nose pierced all they had was a gun and they took forever to heal and hurt a lot.
