All piercings hurt for a few seconds, some more than others. Generally speaking, your imagination is far worse than the actual piercing. It is always better to expect the worst and be pleasantly surprised. There are also numbing products available over the counter at chemists that you can use on most piercings to help reduce the pain.
We encourage you to keep cleaning your piercing two to three times a day during the initial healing period and at least once a day after that. Cleaning daily may sound like a chore, but maintaining hygiene on an open wound is important to prevent infection. A little care goes a long way!
No, moving, turning, or playing with your piercing increases the likelihood of tearing, inflammation, and infection. You may wish to gently move your piercing (with clean hands) to allow you to clean the area better, but that is the most you should do. No turning or removing required!
Piercings do not heal in a couple of days or even weeks, they can take months and in some cases a year or more to completely heal. Being sick, having an impaired immune system, or sleeping on or bumping the piercing can prolong the healing process. It is important to continue cleaning and caring for your piercing for as long as possible, even if it looks healed.
It is recommended that you wait at least 8 weeks or longer before changing the jewellery for the first time. The exceptions to this are tongue piercings, which should be downsized after 2 weeks, and lip/cheek piercings, which can be downsized from 4-6 weeks if your long jewellery is getting caught frequently once the swelling has subsided. Please feel free to contact me for advice.
It is important to remember the hole may be stable enough to change jewellery, but your piercing is NOT fully healed at this time. When changing your jewellery, ensure you clean the piercing and your new jewellery thoroughly before taking it out and changing.
Changing a piercing early can irritate and reopen a piercing. This can cause the piercing site to bleed, swell again, and become inflamed. If the proper care isn't taken, you may introduce dirt, germs, or bacteria into the piercing, which can lead to infection. If you do change your jewellery early, ensure you clean your hands, the piercing site, and your new jewellery thoroughly before taking out and changing. Take care to select jewellery suitable for long-term wear.
