Why, When, and How To Place Endless Hoop Earrings

Why, When, and How To Place Endless Hoop Earrings

At Rowan, we love our Endless Hoops! Here’s everything you need to know about styling your stack with Endless Hoops.

 

 

Why Can’t I Get Pierced with an Endless Hoop?


At Rowan, safety is our number one priority. We’ll be the first to tell you that when you get a needle piercing, you shouldn’t touch, twist, or rotate your earring - but, due to their seamless design, that’s exactly what endless hoops do! 


We always put your safety and ear health first, so trust us - it will be worth the wait! We’re proud that at Rowan, we have an adverse outcome rate of less than 1% (compared to the industry average of 30%!).


Let the tissue heal without added irritation to the site and your ear (and your piercer!) will thank you.


 

When Can I Switch Into an Endless Hoop?


If you are no longer feeling any tenderness after 6 months, you may be able to change into an  endless hoop. If your piercing begins feeling tender or sore after switching into a hoop, listen to your body and switch back into a stud for a little bit longer. Remember that everyone heals differently, and that’s normal! 


 

Why Should I Switch Into an Endless Hoop?


Like everything else Rowan, our endless hoops are hypoallergenic. They are also less likely to snag while sleeping or being active. Our endless hoops are quite durable, so they can withstand daily wear. Plus, they’re comfortable for 24/7 wear!


 

How Do I Switch Into a Hoop?


Before you switch into hoops, it’s important to clean your jewelry and your piercing! Not only is it important to disinfect your jewelry prior to changing your piercing jewelry, but it's just as important that you clean your ears prior as well. Disinfect jewelry with alcohol, if possible, and let the alcohol dry. Then, clean your ears as well. Our Advanced Aftercare Solution is the ideal product to use for this, as it is a hypochlorous solution with antimicrobial properties.  


Focus on one piercing at a time, and be prepared to move quickly. New piercings can start to close within minutes of removing the jewelry. Starting with one piercing, remove the earring, spritz the area with aftercare, then insert the new earring. Repeat this process on any subsequent piercings.

 

 

How To Remove Piercing Jewelry
First, making sure that both your hands and jewelry are dry, you’ll want to firmly grasp the front and back of the earring. Then, you’ll quickly and carefully pull your hands away from one another. You may need to apply more strength than you expect to, the earrings will be quite tight as they’re intended to stay on for a while!


 

How To Place an Endless Hoop
Due to the curved nature of the endless hoop, if the piercing is newer (less than a year old) using a small amount of your Advanced Aftercare Solution can help get the hoop in with greater ease. Gently start to push the hoop in through the front of your piercing so you can see what you’re doing. Sometimes pulling on the ear is helpful in finding the piercing. 
Do NOT force the jewelry. If you are finding the process to be painful or impossible, please put a stud back in to prevent the piercing from closing and visit your local Rowan studio for an evaluation and potential assistance from a nurse.  

 

How To Remove an Endless Hoop
With clean fingertips gently grasp the hoop near the clasp and apply firm but gentle pressure, moving it up and to the opposite direction of the closure. Slide the hoop off gently once the clasp is open.
