Piercings may not heal or may become infected (and in the worst case scenario: may become life threatening). They may get in the way of normal activities, may impact image, and may affect employment opportunities.

With any piercing there exists the possibility of infection, allergic reaction just for starters. However if the service is provided by a professional body piercer working in a licensed and inspected facility, and the provided aftercare instructions are followed, and the piercer is consulter any time there is a problem with the piercing, you should be able to rest assured your piercing will be trouble free.

What is the chance that your earring will get embedded?

If you get your piercings done by a professional body piercer there is no risk that an earring will become embedded. Piercing guns are the only reason studs become embedded in piercings, that's why professional body piercers hate piercing guns so much. Piercing guns are used by people with no knowledge of the bodies ability to heal, and therefore they care less about your piercing or your health. it's just a pay cheque to them. See a professional body piercer who will use jewellery designed to work with you and your personal style while still caring about you and your piercing.
