i just got mine repierced about two weeks ago. it took mine four days to not hurt. and they still sorta hurt when i spin them. just dont forget to put the medicine on 3 times a day and make sure your hands are clean when you do it. and also avoid playig any contact sports and make sure that everyone your around knows to stear clear of your ears. i got my hair done a week after and i made sure to tell the lady shampooing and my stylist, but i forgot to tell the lady who dried my hair and she came very close to hitting it with the spiky round brush! i made sure to tell her after that! so make sure you tell everyone!
the reason i had to get them repierced was because my brother hit me really hard right on it. and it got infected. so becarefull if u have siblings. if you notice that theyr red or swollen u may need to see a doctor. my friends ear got so swollen it was the size of an apple, she had to get rushed to the emergency room! o and also be very carefull while sleeping. try not to sleep on your side. and when you fall asleep, make sure your on your back. you can even stack pilliows along the sides of you to make sure you dont roll while your asleep. in the morning as i was just waking up but still sorta asleep, i accidentally slapped myself in the ear so be very carefull and aware of your movements, because man did that hurt! also make sure you use the medicine for the full period and be sure to follow the instructions. many places rules for taking care of your ears are different. i got mine done at icing and im supposed to clean them 3 times a day for 6 weeks and after that i can wear different posts, but i cant wear the dangle kind for 12 weeks after i got them pierced.
good luck and i hope i helped! i know how nerveracking it can be, im lyk terrifyed of them getting infected again, bc let me tell you that was one of the few things that hurt most in my life.

Ear lobe piercings aren't really painful to get at all. You'll feel a slight pinch but its bearable. Also you will feel a stronger pinch getting it done with a piercing gun instead of a needle. Getting it done with a piercing gun can come with complications, your piercing can come out crocked and it will take a long time to heal. With a sterlized hollow needle its quick, accurate and not painful at all. But if Claire's is where you choose to go & get them pierced good luck to you.

its completely normal. keep using the antiseptic, and only touch them then. make sure to leave your earrings in for the amount of time they said (usually 6 weeks or so)! I almost took mine out at first when i got mine pierced, but im soo glad i didnt! its been almost 9 years now, that ive had mine peirced and i rarely notice them. just hang in there, itll be graet!

Of course they are going to be sore. You had a piece of metal drove through you head. Just keep up with the antiseptic and you should be fine.

keep using the antiseptic but if it hurts when u touch dont touch em then stop touching them unless ur applying the antiseptic....but anyway dont try and take it out for about three months and sleep on a really soft pillow so it wont hurt

No thats totally normal nothing to be worried about your ears are just getting used of it and they might be sore even a few more days after that too so no worries all cool.

Did you get them peirced with a gun or a needle? Stop touching your peircings when you don't have to, because ANYthing at all could cause an infection, especially since it's new.

thats normal. when i got my third hole pierced it was sore for like two weeks. just keep cleaning it with the cleaner they gave you. It will get better.
