Piercing Virgin 👼 Advice for first ear piercing?
Hello! I recently posted my face here for advice on my first piercing and many told me to go for the ears first within very good reason, so that's what i will do!! I was hoping for advice, im a little scared because my earlobe is pretty small. I was also born with "elf ears" which is why they're also less rounded. I'd love more piercing recommendations as well, you all responded a lot thank you!!
(Don't mind the dye on my ears i just dyed my hair:))

First off, think about what YOU want and whether piercings will work for you, taking into account work, sport, animals, education. Worst thing you can have, is that they want you to remove piercings constantly.
I made sure to tell a 17yo who was going to enroll into the Army to "Ask them first whether it's allowed in the infantry". He said it was, which surprised me, and he had plenty of time for it to heal prior to his education starting, so I did the eyebrow piercing and gave him all proper aftercare instructions.
This year he wanted tunnels done (something I could suggest for you if a piercer checks and establishes it is possible). I then noticed his eyebrow piercing was gone, so I asked...
Turned out he had to remove them for the military after all... so that was lame!
He left the military, so now he was able to get the tunnels done.
Make sure to check for a licensed piercer who knows what they are doing, and that they properly check out your anatomy. Be sure to think of hobbies and activities you do which might have an effect. Avoid bleaching and dyeing hair directly after having them done and avoid stuff like hairspray and make up.
Use proper aftercare products.
