Hey my name is Max from Las Vegas, NV and I have a fairly large vein in the middle of my earlobe and I want to pierce my ears and eventually stretch them. Will this be a problem?

Hey Max!

So many jokes to be made about big veins, etc but I’ll just cut to the chase.

The best option is to visit an experienced qualified body piercer and bring up the situation with them. If they quickly brush you off and say you’ll be fine, without even analyzing the area, then perhaps you should find another shop that will take your statements serious.

Usually this will mean the piercer will inspect your ears and usually will take a flashlight/penlight to place it behind the to be pierced area. That way they can see any and all blood vessels/veins that are passing through the area, that way they can try their best to miss said veins, in order to reduce blood loss,etc.

As for stretching the piercings, again I’d say have the piercer look at it and depending on placement required will provide more knowledge into the matter.
