So, 12 Days Ago I Went To Blue Banana To Get Scaffolding On My Right Ear. Everything Went Fine And They Did A Brilliant Job. I Clean It With Sea Salt Soaks 2-3 Times A Day And Use A Bit Of Tea Tree Oil After To Help Sooth. I Was Just Wondering From People Who've Experienced This Piercing How Long It Took For Yours To Stop Hurting And The Time It Took For The Swelling To Go Down (: Thank You lt;3
No, actually, it takes 8-12 MONTHS to heal, by your 8-12 weeks I'm going to guess you went to the mall? Well, first of all, the gun uses blunt force trauma and a dull stud to rip a hole through your ear, plus that 'cleaning solution' is crap and will delay healing. There's a good chance it shattered your cartilage, so you could be in pain for months like I was (2 months of extreme almost constant pain, another 3 of dull aches with extreme pain when ever something brushed it and a final 6 of pain just when something touched it). So, yeah...get ready for the long haul.
It only really hurt for the first month-ish but was really tender for the first 3 months. After that, I barely noticed it was there. Goodluck :]
