Do I need to make an appointment for ear piercing?
In principle, you do not need to make an appointment for ear piercing at Brunott. However, if you would like to have both ears pierced simultaneously, we ask that you schedule an appointment to ensure that two staff members are available.
How should I care for my pierced ears?
For proper healing and long-term enjoyment of your ear piercings, it's important to take aftercare seriously. By regularly and correctly caring for your piercings after they are pierced, you can prevent infections and other issues. We recommend following these aftercare tips:
- Only touch the earrings and ears with clean, disinfected hands.
- Clean the earlobe at least twice a day, both front and back. Apply Studex Antisept to the new piercing without removing the earring. Then, gently rotate the earrings 2-3 times 180 degrees (half-turn) to the left and right. Be careful not to let long hair wrap around the earring's back.
- Wear the piercing earrings for at least 6 weeks. After 6 weeks, you may switch to other earrings. We recommend waiting 12 months before wearing large, heavy earrings.
- Avoid contact with hairspray, shampoo, and other irritants for at least 6 weeks after piercing.
Can I swim with freshly pierced ears?
Contrary to popular belief, it is perfectly fine to swim with freshly pierced ears. However, it's a good idea to clean the piercings an extra time after swimming during the first 6 weeks.
Can I get a cartilage piercing at Brunott?

Does ear piercing hurt?

What should I do if my piercings are infected?
A very painful, red, and swollen ear could indicate an infection. If this happens, we recommend removing the earring and making an appointment with your doctor.
