So I'm getting my ears pierced very soon! It's just the main, middle ear lobe one. Does it hurt? How do you clean it? Why can't you take it out until 6 months? What was your experience like?

1) Yeah I'm not going to lie it does hurt quite a bit! But honestly its just went they actually make the hole but that part lasts like two seconds - the next day you won't feel a thing
2) Rubbing alcohol or your basic soap and water (for the actual earring use vinegar to prevent rust)
3) Thats just so the hole doesn't close back
4) Honestly it was fine, the worst thing that can happen is infection and that only happens if the earring is cheap material or the place youre doing it at isnt very good haha

I got my ears pierced in kindergarten, it's just a little pinch and it's a little numb for a while. To clean your ears they will probably have a cleanser for sale and tell you how to use it.

It hurts for like 2 seconds. clean it with rubbing alcohol or the cleaner they give you. if you take it out sooner it could close up. I don't remember because I was a baby for that one lol. but I got the piercing above it a couple times, but it ended up infected both times :( so clean it properly! nothing to worry about with a basic piercing like that though.

I've got my 1st and 2nd love piercings, and in my experience it Doesn't hurt at all, although I recommend getting them done with the guns rather than a needle. It is a pinching feeling when you get it done, a little uncomfortable but not at all painful (I have zero pain tolerance too!). Afterwards they do burn/sting a little and the place where you got them pierced should tell you/provide products to care for piercing. If not, salt water or rubbing alcohol are good to use to clean and turn your earrings, you should turn them frequently so they don't get infected.
Straight after you get them done I recommend having a sugary drink, because you can become dizzy and a bit shocked, and this will pretty much prevent that :)
You should be able to change your earrings after 6 weeks, not 6 months, in my experience anyway (that's what both piercers told me) but you should ask your piercer anyway and they should give you a bit of information about how to deal with the initial swelling and after care
I hope I helped!! :)

For me it hardly hurt and I strongly recommend cleaning it with methylated spirits which is strong and will kill any germs, this is what I use after mine got infected after using tea tree oil, my mother and grandmother both used meths too.
