Piercing a torn earlobe without repair
You can pierce the ear at a distant site. Piercing the lobe above the area where it is torn will just result in a longer tear with time.

Piercing an earlobe
Thank for the question. The answer is yes. you can pierce it above the torn part. This could be a problem in the future; you may not like the way it looks and be self conscious about it, or the second piercing may teat and you end up with one big tear or two small tears. Enough said.

Best wishes.

You can re-pierce a torn earlobe but you're better off having it repaired first
You can re-pierce a torn earlobe but you're better off having it repaired first. We typically repair earlobes with local anesthesia in the office. 3-4 weeks after repair your lobes can be re-pierced in the office at no charge. Unless, for some reason, you prefer the appearance of the torn earlobe but I have yet to encounter someone who does. If this is the case, you could have the ear pierced in another location but the existing tear might increase the likelihood that this new piercing would...
