First time I didn't clean it as much as I should have and it got infected and I had to remove the earing - Make sure you clean it every day multiple times and follow the rules of turning the earing every once in a while and keeping your hair away from it until it's completely healed. My second time getting it done I didn't pay attention to the earring I bought and was allergic to the material - go figure. So also make sure that you get something that your ear won't be so sensitive to.
I have had SO many piercings it seems. I have had up to 3 in each ear, but due to me not always wearing them they've closed up and I've had to get them re-pierces, so I feel like I know a lot about ear piercings (it's the only thing I've gotten pierced, my sister has has her nose and bellybutton so I know a bit about those too).
