High Lobe Piercing: My NewFlower Studio Experience

Getting my high lobe piercings at New Flower Studio was such an exciting step, and I'm so thrilled with the result! Many of you might be curious about what it's really like to get these, especially if you're considering them yourself. Let me share a bit more about my experience and some insights I've gathered along the way. First off, the pain factor. Everyone's pain tolerance is different, but for me, getting my high lobe piercings was surprisingly manageable. It felt like a sharp pinch, much quicker than I anticipated, and then it was mostly a dull ache afterwards. Compared to earlier lobe piercings I've had, I'd say it was on par, maybe just a tiny bit more sensitive because of the cartilage proximity, but definitely nothing to dread. The skilled piercer at New Flower Studio made the process so smooth and quick, which really helped! Now, let's talk healing. High lobe piercings, like any cartilage piercing, require a bit more patience than standard earlobe piercings. Mine took a few months to fully settle down. During this time, it's crucial to stick to a strict aftercare routine. I used a saline solution twice a day, gently cleaning around the piercing without twisting or rotating the jewelry. Avoiding sleeping on your new piercings is key – a travel pillow can be a lifesaver! I also made sure to keep my hair away from them and was super careful when changing clothes. Swelling and a little redness are normal in the first few weeks, but watch out for excessive pain, pus, or prolonged redness, which could indicate an infection. One of the best things about high lobe piercings is how versatile they are for creating a beautiful, curated ear. After my initial earlobe piercings, adding high lobes really opened up possibilities for delicate jewelry. If you're envisioning a 'floral butterfly' look, these piercings are perfect! You can choose tiny studs with floral designs, delicate butterfly shapes, or even small clusters of gems that mimic nature-inspired patterns. The placement of high lobes allows for a subtle yet impactful addition to your earscape, letting you achieve that elegant, decorative aesthetic I've been wanting. It’s all about finding jewelry that speaks to your personal style once they’re fully healed. Before you go for your own high lobe piercings, remember to research reputable studios (like where I went, New Flower Studio!) and experienced piercers. Don't hesitate to ask them all your questions about placement, jewelry, and aftercare. Being well-informed makes the whole journey much smoother and more enjoyable. I’m so happy I finally got the high lobes I’ve been wanting!
