Piercing FAQ
Q: Is it gonna hurt?
A: Not nearly as much as you might think! In fact, the actual piercing is so brief that the worst part is the preceding mental anxiety and fear. And, no matter how the piercing felt, almost everyone who gets pierced can't help but laugh or smile when it's over.
Q:How long will it take to heal?
A:That depends. Each area of the body has its own unique healing period and process. Oral and oral/facial piercings tend to heal fastest, while others tend to heal a bit slower.
Q:What can and can't I do during the healing period?
A: Basically, treat your piercing like what it is: a wound. Would you play rough sports or have rough sexual encounters if you were wounded? Would you irritate a wound that is trying to heal? You should treat your fresh piercings as gently as possible--at all times, at all costs.
Q:How long before I can change the starter jewellery?
A: In accordance with healing, this time period can vary from person to person. There are two things to consider: the initial and full healing periods. The initial healing period is that time when the body creates a nice layer of skin between you and the starter jewelry. The full healing period is when the new piercing is entirely healed. Now, when deciding how long to wait before changing your jewelry you have to remember that you don't want to reopen the wound. This will delay your healing process and require intense aftercare to prevent possible infection.
Q:Why do I have to start with stainless steel, titanium, or gold jewellery?
A: These are the best materials to prevent adverse reactions to the new object in your body.
Q:Should I use alcohol to clean my piercing?
A: DO NOT use any type of alcohol to clean your piercing. Alcohol is not meant for internal use, and will only irritate and further complicate the healing process.
