Industrial piercing

Industrial piercing is a quite original type of ear piercing.

It consists of two holes, which are joined by one ring, a labrett of barbell. For decoration, a straight bar or a curved rod of different shapes are used. Earlier this kind of body modification was associated with punk culture. Today, double punctures make people who want to stand out among others, attract attention and be like their idols. Piercing industries can be seen in British musician Zane Malik, Hollywood stars Scarlett Johansson and Emma Watson. More often, the puncture is done with a needle diameter of 1-1.6 mm.

Industrial piercing is a spectacular decoration that will help to create a fashionable look.

Instead of a barbell, you can wear two rings, like Emma Watson or Scarlett Johansson, as well as other types of jewerly. Two holes can make aftercare rather difficult. The healing period is about 4-6 months, during which it is necessary to carry out daily puncture treatment. Cartilage tissue heals longer than skin. The first 3-5 days after the opening are possible painful sensations when touched. Because of the difference in anatomical structure of the ears, industrial piercing can look different to you and your friends.

To avoid infection and other complications, it is necessary to carry out the treatment of the puncture twice daily during the day.

Procedure:

1. Wash your hands with soap.
2. Moisten the cotton sponge with an antiseptic solution recommended by the master.
3. Treat the ear skin around the puncture site, removing dirt, dried blood and crusts.
4. Gently move the bar forward to process the protruding tip.
5. Move the bar back to handle the tip on the other side.
6. Gently move the bar back and forth to get the antiseptic solution inside the hole.
   
   

If you wear rings, rotate them gently. In addition to standard aftercare, it is important to take precautions when washing and combing your hair. Long hair is often twisted around the rod. As a result, you can pull the bar along with the hair, which will cause pain and re-injury of the wound. Sometimes it’s better to wear cartilage labrets or rings instead of barbells until industrial piercings completely heal.

Usually healing takes 4-6 months.

However, in some cases, the period may last longer (9-12 months), depending on the individual features of the body and the quality of care. Recommendations that will help accelerate the healing process, avoid complications and infection:

• Keep your hair away from the puncture. Long locks are best collected in a bun or a pony tail.
  
• Do not touch the jewerly.
  
• Avoid pressure on the puncture site. Do not sleep on the side of the pierced ear. It is better to temporarily stop wearing headphones, liners and overhead models.
  
• Choose a simple jewerly for easy aftercare. The best option for beginners is a straight bar of medium length. The protruding edges of the long bar cling more to the hair, accessories and headgear.
  
• Wear jewelry made of hypoallergenic materials with chemical inertia. Options - titanium, medical steel, gold. High-quality metals are biocompatible with living fabrics, which reduces the chance of rejection of the ornament.
  
  
  

Any pressure on industrial piercings can cause displacement of the jewelry and additional trauma to the wound. Gold, titanium and steel decorations are suitable for holders of sensitive skin.

For industrial piercing you can choose a lot of jewelry of different design that will help to look original every day.

You can change the jewelry after the complete healing of the puncture site. If the wound has not healed, the replacement of the bar can provoke infection and the development of an inflammatory process. Do not completely remove the jewerly until the cartilage has fully healed. Otherwise, the hole may close. Decoration options:

• One straight rod joining both holes. The bar can be additionally decorated with a ball, stone or charm in the middle.
  
• One shaped (curved) rod joining both holes.
  
• Two bars - one for each hole.
  
• Rings of different diameter and width for each hole.
  
  
  

The decoration can be minimalist or large and spectacular depending on the case and mood. Today you can buy gold bars decorated with precious stones that look expensive and status. To replace the bar, you need to unscrew the fixing ball on one side and gently pull out the rod.

Pirsers do not recommend double puncture for the owners of small auricle.

It is better not to choose this variant of body modification as a first experience. The presence of two holes is a factor that requires more careful aftercare, experience and practical skills. Possible complications of industrial piercing:

• Rejection. Usually due to incorrect jewerly selection or increased sensitivity.
  
• Infection. Ingestion of pathogens and inflammation are more often the result of inadequate site aftercare.
  
• Keloid scars. Scars that are formed in response to damage to cartilage and skin.
  
• If you follow the advice of the master, the risk of complications is minimized.
  
  
  

The experienced piercer can make any of your fantasies come true.

Taking into account your wishes, the master can pierce different parts of your ear. You can become the owner of two or more holes in the cartilage, which is located at the top of the ear. The more punctures, the more space for creative experiments with appearance. One option is for four holes. The pairs of holes are arranged together to carry two parallel rods.

The location of the holes varies greatly, which determines the further arrangement of the jewerly. Before the procedure, the master will make a mark with a special marker so that you can see the place of future holes and make corrections in time if it is necessary. The master always performs puncture with a sterile needle. The procedure lasts about 15-30 minutes.
