Well you need to make sure you are getting a titanium barbell when you get a "colored" barbell. The coloring is actually an anodized layer of the actual titanium and not a painted coating that can wear and chip off. The anodized layer is an actual layer of the titanium that has changed color by the process ofanodizing. the Oxide layer is safe and will not wear off. Some studios will put the barbell in right off the bat and others will tend to go with rings to allow the piercing to heal, I like the rings first this prevents discharge ( in the case of infection etc.) from bothering or effecting the other piercing. Talk to your piercer and get his/her take on it and decide from there.
i wouldn't clean a tongue piercing with peroxide. when you first get your tongue pierced you're suppose to clean it with antiseptic mouth wash and you are suppose to drink liquids for a whole week when you first get it pierced.
'Nothing at first, but later it will grow shut
when i first got my industrial piercing it was gauged at a 16 i would recomend this simply because the piercing needle is smaller and it is a smaller wound to heal than that of a higher gauge
Actually you can move the Barbell (not a ring) up and down once the piercing is done, however playing with the jewelelry in a fresh tongue piercing will irritate the piercing and promote swelling.
well, with most piercings, pircing right behind the scar tissue will be more painful, but will make the piercing stronger.
The answer depends on which way you mean this question. If you mean the best place on your ear to get pierced, try this:If you are getting your first piercing, the company you get your ears pierced with will recommend a lobe piercing. This is the standard piercing, and is the best one to get at first to become used to the cleaning requirements and earring requirements. After that, cartilage piercings and more lobe piercings are fine.If you plan on getting more lobe piercings after your first lobe piercing, try suggesting to the person doing the piercing, that you'd like hole a little more towards your face than the center of the lobe. By doing this, you enable more space for more piercings at a later time.If you are choosing the best spot based off of pain level, a lobe piercing is the best option for the first go around. A cartilage piercing is more painful and very hard to keep up (i.e. cleaning).For more advanced piercings, you can get your ears pierced in several ways such as: Conch, Snug, Industrial, Forward Helix, Rook, and Tragus. To see locations of these piercings, see the Related Links below.If you want to know the best stores/companies/shops to get your ears pierced at, try this:With personal experiences, Pagoda is a fine place to start your piercings. With your first piercing you get a free set of earrings of your choice.* Their piercings are extremely sterile. After your first piercing the company also gives you a coupon for a discount on another pair of earrings or their jewelry.*The free set is only available from a select style set by the company.Another Question:In USA, Piercing Pagoda is probably the best choice. But in Canada? Where? : Claire's? ICING by Claire's? Ardene?
yes it will after a while i had the bottom side of my lip pierced and re pierced about four times now, at first it left a dark mark were the piercing used to be but now its just a small hole...barley noticeable.
When you first get a piercing, redness aroud it is perfectly normal. Depending on where it's pierced will determine how long it's going to stay irritated. Most of the time a piercing will be red for the first 2-4 days and be swollen. If it persists then I'd go back to the piercer.
My nose hurt worse then my tongue. However, the first week of having your tongue pierced sucks!
It's still an Industrial piercing they just chose to use some other jewellery rather than a barbell in the piercing.
Not really. On a scale from one to ten, it's around a two or three. The piercing itself doesn't hurt bad at all but for the first five minutes after the piercing, its a little sore.
I have personally done this before, i got my right lip piercing re-pierced in the exact same spot and no it doesn't hurt, it feels the same as getting your first lip piercing.
