Orbital Piercing

Orbital piercing offers excellent styles that help make your piercing stand out as unique. The process improves your overall look, and can enhance your confidence with ease.

Orbital piercings offer many attractive incentives. They provide the fastest healing times, as they are usually done on the ear lobe. Their placement does not stick out or dangle, reducing the chances of your earring getting snagged on clothing or hair.

Once you have decided to book an orbital piercing to add to your collection, it’s important to do some thorough research on orbital piercing fundamentals for a full understanding of what you’re getting into before walking into your chosen studio.

Piercing Location – To achieve an orbital piercing, two perforations are made to the ear, so that they can be connected with a single ring. These piercings can be located along the ear and in the same locations as conch, helix, rook and lobe piercings.

Jewelry Options – Your piercer will guide you through the exciting process of selecting your favourite piece of jewelry. Orbital piercing jewelry style options include: a ball closure ring or smooth segment ring. Black Line Studio does not advise removal of jewelry for at least 8 to 12 weeks post your piercing service. Whether before or after the piercing is completely healed, when it comes to changing the jewelry, we recommend that you consult with your piercer.

Aftercare

Aftercare – When following Black Line Studio’s after care protocol, the healing time for an orbital piercing is typically 8 to 12 months.

Following the correct aftercare procedure ensures your healing process will be predictable and easy. For the best results, wash your hands thoroughly before cleaning or even touching areas you have pierced. While washing your hands, gently use saline solution or recommended detergent in all placements around the piercing and leave it to dry well. Avoid using soaps with dyes, triclosan, fragrances, or harsh chemicals.

Do a brief rinse to remove traces of soap from piercing areas. It is unnecessary to rotate the jewelry after piercing, since it can bring on itching or swelling complications. Afterwards, use clean disposable paper to pat the area dry, as cloth towels can snag on the jewelry and harbour bacteria.

During the healing process, bleeding, tenderness, and localized swelling can cause itching, discoloration, and secretion of whitish-yellow fluid, forming some crusts on the jewelry.

Keep your new orbital piercing in your pierced area during the healing period, and always check with a professional piercer before you make any jewelry changes. Ensure you leave the jewelry in at all times to avoid complications around reinsertion of your piercing once taken out.
