What you need to know before a Flat Piercing.
Positioning, anatomy, and care directly influence comfort and healing.
The flat surface must be evaluated beforehand.
Ear shape, cartilage thickness, and available space influence correct positioning.
The initial labret is chosen for healing.
The labret length is selected according to anatomy and the space needed for initial inflammation.
Cartilage heals slowly.
Complete healing takes approximately between 3 and 6 months and may require more time depending on the body and care.
Direct pressure can irritate the area.
Sleeping on that side, large headphones, and constant pressure can prolong healing.
It integrates easily into a curated ear.
It can be harmoniously combined with Helix, Conch, Tragus, Forward Helix, or lobe piercings.
Jewellery is not changed prematurely.
Changing before the canal stabilises can cause irritation, swelling, or delayed healing.

Jewellery for Flat
