I definitely blanked out when they told me the cleaning instructions. Thanks for the advice
Right it was so much I was just nodding to get it over with 😂😂😂
Just got my ears pierced (not by a professional) & I’ve always been told to spin the jewelry which I did & now my ear is swollen 😩 but I’m glad I looked up aftercare instructions wish I would’ve done it sooner but I think it will be ok! This video was very good!
Did it work out ??
@@Cam2pressure yes!! It’s still healing but I still do the salt water solution!!
That what they told me too spin earnings on my ear not since then it's hurt so much that I try to take them off I can't cuz they are stuck on me when I do take them off I once bleeding on my left ear to put it back again mostly felt dizzy I tried to tell my bf I want to take them off he said no cuz ur not appreciated what I did for your birthday.
@@rachel4574 leave that man
@@rachel4574 yeah leave him thats toxic
I’ve used the Neilmed spray for my nose piercing and let me tell you it’s absolutely amazing..it healed beautifully no issues with it whatsoever.
Highly recommend !
I just ordered some of that, got my first piercings today. Ended up with both lobes, a septum and an eyebrow lol
@@crusherconi how is the progress going? Just got my left earlobe done today
I can’t find that product anywhere :^(((
@@juliab516 found it at Walgreens
Just ordered it today. I’ve seen in a lot of piercing videos
Just got my first piercing lol this is super helpful. I thought it would be painful but I really didn’t feel it😭😭
Got mine yesterday too 😂 wasn’t bad
@@shanejunior2013 me yesterday & Wordd didn’t even hurt
I'm getting mine somewhere this week so is it painful or kinda like a pinch ?
Won’t even feel a thing just a pinch barely noticeable
Same
What you said is what my piercer told me to do. I used River City Tattoo in my area. No turning or spinning, only spray front and back, use a paper towel to wipe up the residue and use corner of paper towel to get under earrings to get crusty stuff when needed. I was told to keep my earrings in for 3 whole months and then I could change out earrings. Also, avoid pools if I can in those first 3 months.
what can we say, matt knows his stuff 😉
MAN no wonder I’m still getting a little bit of bleeding after 5 weeks! I’m moving my piercing too much while cleaning it! I’ve tried looking up on the internet why this might be happening and all that comes up is infection but I know it’s not! No redness or swelling, and only happens when I clean it sometimes.
We’ll now I know the proper way to clean them, thank you!
Just got my ears pierced yesterday all I been hearing in “SPIN SPIN SPIN” glad your video cleared everything up for me
I wish I would have known this before when I pierced my ears. But my daughter will have her ears pierced soon and your information just came right on time. Thank you.
I loved this video! Simple. Period. Straight to the point. No chit chat or long intro.
Thank you! I was super excited when I left the piercing shop (yesterday!) That I forgot what she told me to do 😅 your video was informative, succinct, and pleasant to watch! Thank you! :)
It makes me so mad that I told people for months to spin their earrings every day when I worked at Claire's because that's what they told me to say and also we told people to use q-tips 🙃
Just got mine done there today, and they told me the exact same thing 😂
Thank you so much for posting this video. I just got my 4th piercing in my ear, right before the cartilage and this was the first time I went to a shop and they used a needle and not a gun. I love this method better. I will be purchasing the Saline Wound Wash in the morning and more paper towel.
How is it doing !
straight up saw a video that said to use cotton swabs/balls, glad i watchee this
People be talking a lot of shit about their own piercings. What went well for them could end up hurting you. Plus, a lot of people making videos on this topic aren't pros and don't always know what they're doing.
Best video I’ve seen by far thank you so much for being so thorough and informative
matt's the best isn't he?
Basic wound care with saline water is the GOLD 👍🏼
Just pierced mine last night with some disposable ones from Amazon, for the first time, I've wanted them done since I was a kid (26), glad I did it! Haha, thanks for all the info it's really helpful!
are you supposed to keep the earrings that come in the kit for a certain period of time or can i switch my earrings afterwards
@@chidiochi4247 it’s suggested you keep those in for a few weeks before changing.
Go to a professional please, they know what they’re doing piercings at home are a bad idea x
@@boiwhadahellboi6173 my ears rotted off and i am deaf. thanks👍
@@chidiochi4247 Sounds like you neglected them and never used any aftercare procedures.
THANK YOU! Just got pierced today and this was just what I needed.
Just got my ear lobe pierced two weeks ago I used the salt and water solution and ear is healed 14days guys also I followed all this guy’s advise
My parents both tell me to spin the jewelry so it doesnt grow or get swallowed by my ears. Ive been watching roly for a while and i started doubting them so this time around, I'm doing my own thing and follow these videos.
I was told told to use qtips or cotton with piercing solution or cooled boiled water with salt. Soak the cotton ball hold it close to the piercing and let squeeze above the piercing so it can just dripp over it.
I was told that I'm the best Mario kart player in the world. Wanna play?
Hii what did you end up doing ?! IDK WHAT TO DO
Awesome info bro! 57 years old and just got pierced
Nust got mine today and spun the earrings twice already, i watched this just in time so that i wont do any further damage. thanks for the tips!!
How'd the earrings come out? I see people saying to spin it and others saying not to
Excellent video! Thank you!
After my piercings, I was offered a cleanser for $8, but I declined and found a better deal elsewhere - and a sterile version!
this was super helpful thank you !
Thanks for the video it was a big help I literally just got my ears pierced at a tattoo shop and I was wondering what the next step was
Thank you for this video. The solution that my piercer sold me and told me to use has a strong oder and the vapors cause irritation to my eyes and makes me feel queasy. Definitely will get and use the Neilmed spray instead. Also will stop turning my earrings back and forth as suggested by the piercer.
Honestly bro your vid is highly informative, kinda like a one-stop-shop! I'm glad I watched, it really cemented the info I've been gathering & analyzing. Now I'm ready to treat my new piercing correctly!
Is super helpful I just wish you could show us how to clean it
just got my second lobe piercing, thanks 4 this
Hgggh
Dhhf to u uy h cfb
watching these videos is helping my new piercing anxiety
Thank you for this! I was thinking the same thing when they told me to spin and push my new earring around. Great video
This is the best advice I’ve ever heard. Thanks man! Will definitely follow your tips.
should I clean it the same day I got it pierced or wait till the next day ? also when I spray it do I spray it just on top of the earring and leave it or do I push up the earring from the back and spray under it ?
Decided to watch this video after rotating my earrings and putting peroxide on piercings. 😅 However, steps duly noted!
Me too! 😆 lesson learned..
I greatly appreciate this video. Just got my ears done for the second time as a retirement gift for myself.
So this might just be a me problem, but I’m really struggling to get in and around the earring. I also am having a rough time cleaning the back of the earring. Am I ok if I just spray the earrings??
i tried just spraying them for awhile then i cleaned it with a q-tip: there was some crud/buildup on it, i don’t think i would recommend it
having the same issues (especially the backside), how did it work out?
Wow this makes total sense!
How long should you wait after a fresh piercing to clean it ?
Literally the opposite of what my piercer said
Same for me with lobe piercings, but I trust Matt more than the dude who pierced me. It’s been 8 weeks and NeilMed has been fine. Came back to see if I could swap out, might wait 4 more weeks🙃
I’m glad I watched this video, I got both earlobes and the left nostril pierced and I got the Johnson’s baby soap and that Neomed spray. I wasn’t sure how to use any of it so I was using Qtips. But thanks now I know not too.
Thank you! I remembered I have some spray that’s for kids noses! 100% natural! I’ll be using it on my ears!
Thank you im getting mine today and i am sure this will help me a lot.
glad this could help you and good luck with your piercing! :)
Just got my second lobe piercing and my piercer gave me the exact same instructions but didn’t tell me why. I’m glad you explained the logic behind the instructions.
This is so funny. Last year I got my second lobe piercings and had the absolute worst infection where both swole up and i ended up in the ER. i just got them repierced today and realized i was doing everything he said not to do. spinning, getting wash inside the hole, qtips, hydrogen peroxide, etc. 😔 you live and you learn.
This makes so much sense!! Thanks for the info!!
really good info and facts.literally straight to the point
Thank you. Good info. I’m about to look up the guidelines you mentioned
I had my double forward helix piercing a week ago. I follow the piercer advice to soak it to salt water. As I clean the side I accidentally hit the one on top and now its swelling like crazy to the point that the swelling starts to eat the jewelry. Any advice about this will be deeply appreciated. 😔
If the swelling persists for days you’re gonna want to talk to your piercer to get longer jewelry. It’ll give room for swelling and allow it to heal with the right amount of room. If the swelling goes down well with longer jewelry then you can size down again.
Here in Greece for the first week we use virgin olive oil it's the best sollution
Damn I’ve been using the neilmed spray but with q tips and pushing my earring up to get under it.
Amazing thanks so much!
glad this was able to help you out a bit :)
Just got my eyebrow and ears done. This answers everything amazingly, but I'm also wondering if I can still wash my face in the shower with facial cleansers.
Thanks for noting not to use cotton! Glad you stopped my mistake early! 🙏
Is the Neilmed piercing aftercare the same as Neilmed wound wash? I have tiny scars on 3 piercings so unattractive. 😩 I know it has to be caused by me touching them and my baby climbing over my head every morning.
I have total of 18 piercings (would’ve been 26) it’s always trial and error with me. I’ve always let my piercings heal on its own.
I know you say keep it in 3 to 4 months before changing the jewelry to another thing or 2 months minimum keep the same jewelry till your lobe heals but that does vary especially from person to person some people might have there peircing healed in a few weeks others many months
Thank you for this fantastic advice!
So glad I saw this because my artist told me to use q-tips and bactine 😅
My rook doesnt want to heal... I bought the spray... Seasalt soaks dont help... Its so annoying. Piercer told me while it looks like this, not to take it out. But i cant deal with it anymore. its been 4 years....
Did it finally heal?
@@quazar4773 NO. STILL THE SAME.
@@quazar4773 i ordered the spray twice, soaking in a cup for my life doesnt help, ive had a teatreeoil spray, another salt spray en now i have a special teatree creme im trying...
@@nonozworld she probably has a non silver earing and that's why it got infected
@@nonozworld pierced with surgical steel, switched to titanium.
Thank you for sharing all this information
Just got the rest of my triple lobe thank god I don’t have to turn them 😂
Thank you for this, very informative
What about saline wipes? My piercer gave me some but I’m not sure how to use them...
Hii what did you end up doing ?! I need help !!
Just bought the store brand saline rinse bc none of the drugstores nearby had the stuff you recommended, and the solution is fine it works great, but the bottle is aerosolized and the blast pressure is WAY to strong. I just switched it to an empty pump sprayer, but first I tested it outside and I wanna know who tf thought this wound wash needed a 15 ft spray distance 😂
NO LITERALLY SO ANNOYING 😂 have sprayed myself a few times in the eye 😅
Thanks... Good advice
What about claire's ear aftercare
Funny I have 5 body piercings now and I've always used bactine and never had any issues 🤷🏽♀️ I love bactine
Is it possible to just make salt water solution in a spray bottle? I can’t find saline solution anywhere and it’s so expensive
3 days in my ear lobe piercing. It's been over 10 years so I got them done again. I've been told to rotate too, and clean with q tips, no wonder my ears are so damn irritated 🙄 I should've went to a tattoo shop
when in doubt always go to a professional ! it's the best advice we can give! Hope this video with Matt helped!
How often can you use this spray if the earlobe is infected? Recommended morning and night but if it did get infected can we do this more? My daughter woke up on day 7 with an infected earlobe. I can only think maybe a dirty pillow case- didn’t think of that!
Should've watched after I got my piercings! Instead, I just learned about this video a week after!
I'm watching this and don't plan to get my ears pierced soon 😂
Question: I got my second earlobe piercings on Thursday and on my left ear the gun got stuck and then the back was crooked so they had to go back and fix it to make the back straight. Would all of that trama on my left ear hinder the healing process or make it more easier to get a keloid on that ear? I got the shop I got it pierced at and they said I should be fine if I keep putting the solution they gave me and to ice the piercing for swelling and if that doesn’t help within two weeks to come back to them. I just want a second opinion since I really don’t want a keloid and I have a wedding to go to next month 🥺.
PS - I also have my cartilage pierced and didn’t have trouble with that piercing at all.
I don’t think so just be extra careful with your after care and keep an eye on it if you think it gets worse take it out give it time to heal and then at another time go get it re-pierced
If your ears are sensitive when you can change your piercing get nickel free or titanium good quality jewelry
@mia Weeks thank you so much!
Hey! Could I make my own salt water solution and put it in a spray bottle and it still be effective?
I actually had asked the question to my piercer and they had said yes it would be and even gave the ratios for the mix and what to use and not to use
@@OrphicNecrosis Thanks!!
@@SoChubbyCheeks No problem!
@@OrphicNecrosis what are the things u can use and can not use?
@@donuts7645 For making your own solution? Or in general?
What a coincidence I just got my ears pierced
earlobe?
@@Kelseymaya i got my second ear lobes and tragus on both sides but one would keep getting infected so I took one off and I also have my industrial
@@Liizzbeth i got my lobes pierced 2 weeks ago and i just want to ask how long did it take for yours to heal and change, lobes only btw
@@Kelseymaya about 3 months to heal completely but i think it can be different for everyone
Bruh I’m confused asf rn, I got my ear pierced yesterday and asked my family members for advice since they have piercings too. Some say to use peroxide to clean it but when I look online it says not to use it. Then about the twisting earring thing, they said I should twist it twice during the day but this guy and other sources say not to twist them. So now idk what to Fucken believe now.
Hi 👋🏽 what did you end up doing ?! Idk if I should twist them or not
For all you fearing they going to get infected not big of a deal got my ear pierced 10 weeks I slept on them sorta played wit em sometimes I didn't even clean them for 2 days never got infected just the casual tenderness
My piercer told me to put the saline solution on a q tip and wipe around the stud, then spin and rotate it. I can see benefits of spin and no spin but now I'm confused.
Helpful, tysm
I just got mine Tuesday
Hello , Kindly what is the name of that black bottle spray ?. The blue one is H2O ocean .
Neilmed ! www.urbanbodyjewelry.com/products/neilmed-piercing-aftercare-spray
Thanks for this video
Kinda a stupid question, but what if I get my hair shampoo/conditioner in/near the piercing hole while it's still not completely healed
avoid that often on what i read, hows ur piercings doing now? Just got mine today and clueless if I should clean it on my night shower or let a day pass to let t heal
Spraying my piercing with saline solution literally doesn’t help get the crusties off. I can soak my piercing for 10 minutes and it will get so much build up. It looks like I’m not even cleaning them. I make sure to dry them with a hair dryer too. Ugh so frustrating.
I soak a piece of gauze sponge with the saline solution and then use that to wipe the piercing! Works to get the crusties off and I use less saline solution
Hi, I pierced my ear recently but did not like the earring choice so i changed it real quick days after I hope I’m still good
I just got earlobe piercing both sides today, should I clean it on my shower night or let a day pass before cleaning it
When you mean get the paper towel wet should I get it wet with water or with the spray?
What about a old ear lobe piercing that seems infected? I’ve had it for 24 years and never had any problems or been infected before. It’s sore, with a fever, pus coming out of the hole, and what feels like a knot in it. 😟
You should see a doctor and/or dermatologist, that’s a long time for a piercing to be behaving that way. Your body just might not like it even after all this time
What is the material of the earring? Depending on if it's brass, silver or surgical steel can have an effect on your ear.
Just asking what about the rapid healing solution the Claire has or the one that I have that they gave me they said it heals within 3 weeks
Should you clean under the piercing when there’s lymph fluid or leave it?
thank you!!
I thought you're supposed to twist them so they don't get stuck? Idk I'm kinda paranoid and people say to wait two weeks before twisting them but I'm not sure.
Hi! Can you tell me if you spinner them or not? And what happened. I just got mine done yesterday and don’t know if i should twist them or not
@@urcute5129 Hey! Glad I came across this video, and comment. I got mine pierced about 2 days ago, and it’s incredibly inconvenient for me to sleep with, and I still am sore from the piercing. (I got my ear lobes pierced) I use the blue bottle shown in the video, and I spin my jewelry. Though I’m practically at a loss here because what the piercer told me and what this video discusses are completely different...
@@urcute5129 It seems as if spinning them only causes more irritation and pain. I might just use the spray down, and wipe around the jewelry method. I’ve never been in so much pain before 😅
@@insom44 don’t spin.
@@insom44 how are you now? I haven’t spun mine a lot but like a little twist and they are doing okay
Hi I know I’m 2 years late but I recently got them pierced and I was wondering how long I should wait until I can go swimming
i’ve had my ears pierced twice once they got infected and the other time they closed, should i get them pierced again? i really want my ears pierced 😩😭
This happened to me, too, well over 20 years ago in my mid teens. I had 2nd and 3rd ear lobe piercings by the same place, and both got badly infected and left me with tiny scars. I wonder now if it's because they told me to twist the earrings once a day after cleaning them with soap and warm water. I'm looking to get my ears repierced soon on my 41st birthday at a nearby tattoo shop. Thankfully, their piercer is highly knowledgeable, well experienced, and highly trusted in the local community and they've been happy to chat with me via private message to inform and reassure me.
what happens if your ear lobes are still swollen red and itchy after a year? :(
You might be allergic to the type of metal.
Definitely most likely allergy to the metal. Lobes should heal fully by 3 months
My high lobe took over a year to heal
How long should you be doing the spraying for a love piercing the full two months x2 a day?
Does it matter which ear you get peirced for males? Getting mixed info. Some say right, some say left, some say it doesn't matter. If you're a straight male which ear should be peirced? I watched numerous videos and some were left, some were right.. can someone please help me..tysvm
Question I just got 02 gauges (I suppose it should have started smaller but I had no clue until watching your videos.) Can this spray replace sea salt?
Should you remove healed piercings to clean them? I want to do my industrial, flat & lobes next month, but I know I'm also that woman that would keep the same jewelry in my entire life lol
Hi, can i use Hansaplast Wound Spray for my nostril piercing? thanks.
I got lucky the bottom of my ears healed amazing even after spinning them when your not supposed to, but I only went to a mall to get it pierced because my mom. Now I strictly go to a tattoo shop for any piercing. But depending on the area the pain is so bad. Or is like nothing 😂
What facial/ear piercing do you recommend for a 60yo male. I do have 8g in my earlobes. I’m interested in doing something new…but not offensive….I’m employed by a large corporation that really doesn’t have a dress code..(Home Depot)…
Thanks
Rocco
lol i got mine pierced yesterday, cleaned them last night with soap and water and then my mom said neosporin was good so she put it on there AND pushed the bars back and forth. this morning i went out to get the saline after googling and i put some on with a cotton ball … and still put the neosporin on afterwards…. whoops. but it’s only day two and now i know !!!!!!
