If you are going to stretch your earlobe, you may want to consider buying cheap ear gauges from a reputable vendor or vendor.
However, you should make sure that the wholesale supplier of ear gauges has ear gauge kits made from kosher materials. Safe and acceptable materials for ear stretching kits are: stainless steel, titanium, acrylic, marble, etc.
Buy only the actual piercing jewelry.. The best way to avoid risks of dangers is to buy only real ornaments to adorn the modified parts of your body.
Never wear piercing jewelry worn by another person.. If necessary, sterilize it well in the proper way.
Do not use oils and solutions not recommended for lubrication when stretching the earlobes. It can cause infections and serious injuries during the operation. Also, learn the details and care tips from YouTube tutorials before stretching your earlobes.
Ask the piercer about the possible health risk.. Piercing for some people could be risky. They cannot resist the pain that occurs during and after the operation. The pain from the piercing and stretching of the wound increases only from panic. And creating panic greatly affects your health. It also interrupts the operator, which can lead to serious errors.
