Is it normal for my ears to be a little bit swollen (but not red) the day...

...after I get them pierced? I just got my ears pierced at Claire's yesterday. I had them pierced 4 years ago, but let them close up. So i re-pierced them again and they're a little swollen, but not red. Is that normal?

Yes. You just had a hole punched through your ear. Remember that for a few weeks, your body will treat the hole like any other wound, that's why it's necessary to always keep the earrings in for awhile.

yes, that is normal.
happened to me everytime

I think so if you re-piereced them. If they don't get better though, you may want to get professional advice.
