What do you do if your piercing is uneven?

Originally Answered: What should I do if my ear piercings are uneven? Just take them out, wait for them to heal.

What do you do if your ear piercing is in the wrong place?

Lubricate your ear with a non-antibiotic ointment (like Aquaphor or Vaseline) to keep the skin pliable. Gently stretch your earlobe to help open up the area and thin the piercing hole. Carefully try pushing the earring through the back side of the earlobe. Experiment with different angles, always using gentle pressure.

Are Uneven ear piercings noticeable?

Can you correct a piercing?

“If the earring hole is stretched or ripped, it’s very easy to fix. Gauged holes, no matter how large, can be repaired too, but expect a longer incision and scar on both the front and back of the earlobe.” While a simple earring hole reduction takes about 10 minutes per ear, gauged lobes require 20 minutes each.

Should ear piercings be symmetrical?

Not necessarily. Traditionally, if you’re getting only one piercing on each earlobe, they are done symmetrically. But this is by no means mandatory, and you can get them however you want. Additional piercings follow no “rules”, and people often get asymmetrical configurations.

What angle do you pierce ears?

The needle should be perpendicular to your earlobe. This means that it should make a roughly 90-degree angle with the mark that you made on your ear. Positioning the needle this way will allow it to slide more effectively through your ear. Take a deep breath and stick the piercing needle smoothly through your ear.
