In Kenya, a percentage of women and men have pierced earlobes - making them the most commonly pierced body part. But behind the bling is a healing process you canโt afford to ignore.
๐ Lobe piercings: Heal in 6โ8 weeks
๐ Cartilage piercings (like helix, tragus, conch, rook, daith): Can take 6โ12 months
๐๐ฝ Why the delay? Cartilage gets less blood flow, so it heals much slower than soft tissue.
๐ Healing depends on:
๐นYour overall health
๐นPiercing technique (needle vs. gun)
๐นJewelry type
๐นPiercing location
