ABSTRACT:
A method and kit is provided for piercing an ear while allowing conventional earring posts to be interchangeably inserted into and withdrawn from the pierced ear throughout the ear healing process. The kit includes a conventional ear piercing gun with a slightly stronger spring for shooting a plunger toward an ear. A two part piercing stud or post includes a hollow post through which a solid post is inserted. A rubber plug is mounted within the hollow post for frictionally retaining the solid post during the ear piercing process and for frictionally retaining a conventional earring post during the ear healing process. The method for piercing the post includes loading the two part piercing post onto the plunger of the gun, and loading an earring back on an opposite support of the gun. The gun is then positioned upon the ear, and the piercing post is shot through the ear and into the earring back. The gun is then removed from the piercing post and the solid post may be removed from the hollow post and interchanged with any conventional earring post.
