It hurts way more! Industrial piercing is not as straightforward as traditional piercing, it is considerably more painful; The piercing, can take between three months to one year to fully heal.
Rinse and clean the piercing twice daily with special clearer for piercings and clean the piercing at least once a day with a salt water mixture. This won't guarantee that your industrial won't get infected, but it will definitely help.
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.
The major risks of an industrial piercing include ear deformation, migration and even rejection. If it is not properly taken care of it can move, and be very painful. Someone very experienced should preform this piercing, as if it is not done properly, the risk grows higher.
Yes if you don't take care of it.
Not if you take care of it properly.
Well it should be healded in about 2 months:)
it's the same as an industrial piercing.
Like any piercing, if you take care of the piercing daily and clean it as required, then there is no issue.
It's recommended by most tattoo or piercing parlors for you to wait at least 6 months to a year to change the bar to something else. This allowes your freshly pierced cartilage to heal. Also make sure you follow the instructions of the person who pierced it for cleaning and care to prevent infections or irritation. You paid all that money and went through the pain please take care of your industrial piecing.
