Keep the plugs/gauges and your ears as clean as possible! I also massage coconut oil onto my lobes several times a week.

I always take my gauges out before showering so that I can properly wash them with antibacterial soap. Keeps them clean and smelling good.

If my ears get infected or just angry I put a warm camomile tea bag on them and let it soak. Just make yourself a cup of organic camomile tea and once the tea is to your liking take the tea bag and as long as it’s not too hot, put it on the ear and let it sit. It works like a charm!

I use only wood or stone earrings.

Its simple. Don’t rush. Use the proper methods and be clean! If it hurts don’t do it and you won’t cause an injury which leads to infection. Things like acrylic and steel aren’t actual that great for most ears. Try to stick to glass, stone and very good wood. Be sure to use sea salt and antibacterial soap as well
