is it ok to do a sea salt soak on my ear lobes if i just got them pierced at 6g two days ago?

 yes! most definitely! just make sure its prepared correctly

 1/4th teaspoon of pure sea salt per 8 oz of warm water. And you should boil or nuke your water. Warm water from the tap has too many sediments in it.

uhm - i dont think boiling or nuking will affect sediments - the only thing it would do is to kill bacteria/living-items, but potable water (from the tap) is supposed to be clear of living-organisms (esp with chlorine added).  if you really dont want sediments or other minerals then used distilled-water (not any of the fancy-waters like sparkletts, cuz those specifically re-add items to adjust the 'taste').

otoh, boiling/nuking cannot really do any harm (assuming you dont burn yourself with scalding-hot water) - so do what makes sense for you...  -i- just use the hot water from the tap since it is good enough for showering and drinking...  ymmv, h.

 Cold water from the tap has fewer sediments than warm water from the tap. And no, I don't recommend people scalding themselves. I figure they'd have enough sense to let it cool to a comfortable temp. :P

 and 1/8-1/4tsp on salt... depending on how coarse it is... You want it to taste like your tears...

That's so emo of you ;D. You want the water to be comfortably warm and I soak until it gets cool. A shot glass seems to work well, and you want to make sure and rinse well with clean water afterward to help keep your lobes from drying out.
