Our top flatback tips

Flat Back Tip #1: Prepare with a Regular Stud

Before diving into flat back earrings, it's a great idea to prep your ear by wearing a regular stud for a few hours. This little trick will help keep the piercing hole open and ready for the new flat back earring.

Flat Back Tip #2: Make the Most of Your Hot Shower

Timing is everything! For an easier insertion process, try putting in the new flat back earring right after a hot shower. The warm water makes your skin more pliable, allowing the earring to glide in with greater ease.

Flat Back Tip #3: Vaseline to the Rescue

 Applying a small amount of Vaseline or a similar product around the piercing and on the flat back will help it slide smoothly into your ear. No more fumbling around!

Flat Back Tip #4: Use an insertion tool

If you need some extra help, you can pick up a labret insertion tool pretty cheaply on Amazon to help you guide in the back post. From there you just screw on the front charm and you're done!
