The Christmas songs are still a few months away, but there is evidence of Christmas starting to creep into the shops.

If you are thinking about treating a loved one (or even yourself!) to a piercing present for Christmas, then perhaps now is the time to have it done. The new ear piercing will have plenty of time to heal before the Christmas festivities begin so you can choose how you show it off.

People can heal at different rates and the after-care solution you are given can also affect the time it takes to heal. At Caress, we advise that earrings are left in for 5 weeks.

If you are treating someone to a piercing present, then we recommend you don’t keep it as a surprise.

We also recommend you carry out your research and use a reputable piercer; one that operates in a clean and hygienic environment and uses only the best quality products.

Caress supplies medically superior ear piercing systems to customers across the UK and Ireland.  All our studs are hypo-allergenic and manufactured in the UK to the highest standard of quality. We have a huge range of studs to choose from; in fact, you may even decide that you don’t need to change them at Christmas as our gemstone range give you all the glitz and glamour you need!

So, if you are presenting a piercing for Christmas, look out for the Caress logo.
