Industrial Piercing

An industrial piercing is a type of ear piercing where two holes are connected by a single piece of jewelry. This piercing typically involves a barbell that traverses the upper ear cartilage horizontally or even vertically, and anti-helix portions of the ear. It is known for its distinctive and unique appearance, and it has become a popular choice for those seeking a more conventional and edgy ear piercing style.

An industrial piercing typically involves piercing the cartilage of the upper ear with a straight barbell. The process involves the following steps:
1. The piercer will discuss your desired piercing, it's placement, and potential jewelry options. They may also assess the area to ensure it's suitable for piercing.
2. The piercer will clean the area with antiseptic solution to minimize the risk of infection.
3. The piercer will mark the precise location where the piercing will be placed. This allows you to revise and approve the placement before the actual piercing.
4. The piercer will use a piercing needle to create a hole in the marked area.
5. Once the holes is made, the piercer will immediately insert the chosen jewelry into the piercing.
6. After the piercing is complete, the piercer will provide you with aftercare instructions. It's crucial to follow aftercare instructions carefully to promote proper healing and minimize the risk of complications.

To care for industrial piercing:
1. Avoid sleeping on the side of the new piercing to prevent unnecessary pressure.
2. Minimize touching the piercing, especially with unwashed hands, to prevent the introduction of bacteria.
3. Use a saline solution to clean the piercing site once a day.
4. Keep your hair away from the piercing, and be cautious with clothing that might snag on the jewelry.
5. Avoid removing the earrings during the initial healing period, which can vary but typically lasts for 6-12 months.
6. Refrain from swimming in pools, hot tubs, or other bodies of water until the piercing is fully healed.
7. Consult with your piecer if you notice any bump, irritation, infection or any feeling of deep discomfort. Follow up as needed.

Healing times for an industrial piercing can vary, but it often takes anywhere from 6-12 months for the piercing to fully heal. During this time, it's crucial to follow proper aftercare guidelines, avoid unnecessary movement of the jewelry and be patient with the healing process. Individuals factors such as your body's healing response, care routine, and lifestyle can influence how quickly the piercing heals. Remember that cartilage piercing, like industrial piercing, tend to have a longer healing time compared to piercing in softer tissue. If you have any concerns or experience unusual symptoms during the healing period, consult immediately with your piercer.
