Will taking out an industrial piercing cause infection?
If the piercing is completely healed, no. If the piercing is still fresh/new, possibly. If you remove it, continue to clean & care for it as you would any other wound.
When to remoVe stud after piercing?
It's best after the piercing is healed, otherwise it might get infected and swell up.
What happens if you remove your tongue piercing before its healed?
Well nothing then again you could loose the piercing. Don't mess around with your piercing unless you have decided to go without it, then take it out and leave it out. Screwing around with a piercing that isn't healed is inviting infection, tearing and other nasty things to happen to a new piercing just because you were curious.
Is it okay to remove a cartilage piercing before it is fully healed if you replace it soon after?
Yeh you can remove it, i took my tragus piercing out after 2 weeks and but it back in about 2 hours later and it was fine. The longer it's had to heal the longer you can leave it out. :)

The industrial piercing to heal?
Well the piercing needs to heal, this can take up to a year for a piercing to become seasoned (this is when you can remove the jewellery for a few hours and not have an issue putting it back in). Average heal time can vary from piercing to piercing from 4~6 weeks for some and other a lot longer. Light heals are not considered "healed" and can be damaged by removing the jewellery too soon.
How long before you can remove an industrial piercing and not have it close up?
1 year after having it done, you can take the jewellery out for an 8 hour period without fear of the piercing closing up.
How long will it take for me to remove my nose piercing to clean it?
You should clean your nose piercing with antibacterial (Dial) soap twice a day for the first week that you have it. After that first week, reduce cleaning to once a day. Be sure not to overclean as you can cause moderate to severe irritation to your piercing.
Do you remove your nose piercing while cleaning it?
No. Especially not while its new. Removing and reinserting the jewelry will not only hurt, but irritate the piercing. After its healed, just do whatever you'd like!
Can you get your snakebites infected if you take them out after getting them done?
You shouldn't remove any piercing until after they are entirely healed. If the piercing is already infected, removing the jewelery could cause the piercing to heal over trapping the infection inside the skin which will require medical attention. But if you don't have a choice, or you've decided that you don't want the piercing anymore, (only if the piercing is NOT infected) you can take the piercing out to let it grow over, and as long as you continue aftercare until the piercing is entirely healed you shouldn't get an infection.
How long should you wait before changing a navel piercing?
It is advised that you do not change your piercing until it is fully healed. This varies from person to person and so there is not a definite healing period. If you do believe that your piercing is healed, you should seek your piercer's advice as he would be able to guide you. Also you should find out the correct way to remove and insert the barbell or ring. Also be sure that the new jewellery is indeed safe. Do not use fake silver or other fake substances as they can discolour the area of the piercing (seek your piercer's advise on this also).
