Hi! I just wanted to ask if pierce ear by needle will take how long to heal ar? Coz i thinking of piercing soon but got camp in like 3 weeks like that then scared dirty kena infection. So can the wound heal withing 3 weeks? or should I pierce only after my camp? Thanksss

Define healing?

Piercing will still close even after 1 year.....

For earing piercing it is not recommended to remove the surgical needle/ring before 3 weeks are up (speaking from experience). Even then the wound might still be exposed even if it doesnt hurt that badly...

Anyway I recommend after the camp because your body movements need to adept to the new piercing espicially for ear piercing because sometimes you dry your hair with towel might hook the piercing or when you sleep you lie on your ear piercing subconsciously or removing of clothes then hook until etc etc
