At some point in time, we all are likely to get a piercing. Earlobe piercings are the most common, relatively quick and pain-free piercing. Piercing gets painful when you begin to pierce other areas of your body. In this process, many people end up having a severe infection.
To make sure you never end up with a piercing that gets painful and infected, here’s everything you need to know before you get a piercing:

*Invest in a good piercing
A good quality piercing accessory is the main things you need to be careful about. Wait three months before you swap the initial piercing accessory with another.

*Do your research
Research your local piercing parlours. Be sure about the precautions they adopt during the whole process.

*Don’t touch it
Don't touch the rings often because it actually increases your chances of infection as you’ll be disrupting the healing process by exposing open flesh to bacteria.

*Aftercare is essential
After you get a piercing, you need to clean it twice a day with saline solution.Most piercing parlours provide a solution, but it’s better to make your own by combining one cup of lukewarm water with one teaspoon of salt.

*Apply Ice
Ice is the easiest way to reduce swelling if it ever occurs around a piercing.

*Deal with infection
Infections are a lot more common than you would think. If your piercing does become infected, a small white or red bump called a pustule will begin to form.
