FAQ EP.4: Rotate or Not? For Newly Pierced Earrings.

November 28th, 2025

Does turning them actually help? Let’s find out 💬

🤔 You may have heard that if you don’t rotate your earrings after getting pierced, the wound will stick.

NooYoo can confirm that this is not true. In fact, you should never rotate your earrings after a fresh piercing. Many people think that turning the earrings helps the wound heal better or prevents the earrings from sticking to the skin. But when the piercing is still healing, rotating the earrings can actually cause irritation.

In addition, our hands often carry bacteria or dirt. When you casually spin the earrings, you increase the risk of introducing germs into the piercing. This can lead to infection, causing redness, swelling, and even pus.

✨ So it is best to avoid touching a new piercing unless necessary. At the very least, make sure your hands are thoroughly cleaned before touching the area to reduce the risk of irritation or infection.

Ear piercing starts at 390 THB per pair at all NooYoo stores.
