What Exactly is Lobotomy Piercing?

A lobotomy piercing sounds intense and dramatic, and just so

“In other words, one might think of the old psychotic procedure, but the lobotomy piercing is pure aesthetics and is meant to be kind of edgy.”

It refers to a form of cartilage piercing that sits high on the outer ear, close to the head, thereby creating the illusion that it is quite close to the brain area.

It seems to have a particular appeal among people interested in alternative fashion, punk, or body modification culture.

This is not your ordinary ear piercing; it is designed to attract attention and get people talking.

Lobotomy Piercing Because It Seems To Be So

Lobotomy piercing attracts people for many reasons, but one of its primary motivations

This is the one to go for when all others are just prick or pretty much but totally clean cut

Stylish placement options include curved barbells, industrial bars, or even really heavy gauge rings to use at your own discretion

It reflects personality — especially for those who don’t shy away from bold appearances

Another thing is individualism

It’s not usual; therefore, you get to own one as a particular portion of your styling identity

Pain Level and Healing Time

Because of the thicker cartilage area into which it is pierced, it is a lot more painful than the regular earlobe piercing

Most have it ranked around a 6 or 7 on a pain scale between 1 and 10

It’s fine to expect swelling and tenderness in the few days after piercing.

Healing can take anywhere between 6 to 9 months but depends on an individual, a body, as well as care given to it

Aftercare includes:

Injection of saline solution

Sleeping off the side that was pierced

Non-inconvenient jewelry changing 

Avoiding interference with the area by hands and phones

Risks and Considerations

All types of piercing carry certain risks: infection, keloid formation, or migration of jewelry. 

Crucial in that is the choice of a professional and licensed piercer.

Cheap or rushed jobs can be very damaging and lead to long-term complications.

If you’re one that takes ages to heal, or if your skin is particularly sensitive, discuss it with the piercer ahead of time. 

Also think of how it would affect a number of things such as headphone use, glasses use, or using a helmet

Final Thoughts

Lobotomy piercings only qualify as body jewelry; at best it is a statement.

It means daring, fearless, and maybe a little bit rebellious.

Not ideal for everyone but a great enhancement on just the right person.

Just do. 

For the sake of all, let’s close up.
