What Does The Blue Bruising Inside Ears After Getting Ears Pierced Mean?

I got my ears pierced a little over 24 hours ago. I checked them just now & there's a small purple/blue (sort of like blue ink from a pen) colored dot under them. I got the piercing with a purple titanium ball & I'm not sure if the coloring is coming off from the earring or if it's a marker the person used to mark my ears before piercing.

Hi. it can be either of it as you rightly mentioned. If not painful and not red, just do not worry. Apply some spirit and see if the marks go away.
