Why do you have a fishing line in your tongue piercing in the first place
I took mine out about a week in and replaced it with a clear bar, but they tell you you should wait a minimum of 2 wks before you remove the original bar. You can't keep the bar out or the hole will close. It's only a matter of minutes before it will close so I don't advise you to take it out and keep it out. Just replace it with a tongue retainer. You can google them. Also, it doesn't matter how long you've had the piercing, your tongue heals quickly and the hole will close. I know someone who had their tongue piercing for 10 yrs but when she took her tongue ring out it only took about half an hour before the hole started closing.
How long it takes a smiley piercing, or any piercing to heal up will depend greatly on the care given. Making sure to keep the piercing clean can help it to heal as quickly as possible.
Without the jewelry to keep the piercing open, a cheek piercing will generally close within a few weeks. It can even happen in a few days if the piercing has not been there for a long period of time.
Where? Place: any tattoo/ piercing shop.
Undoubtedly yes! The reason for this is the tension that is on the bar inducing unneeded trauma to the fresh piercing. You will HAVE to get a flesh staple bar, and it is important to note that surface piercings have a notorious rejection rate even if you have a staple in it. Keep an eye on it, and keep to a religious piercing regiment. Not just with antibacterial soap, but also with tea tree oil to reduce the chance of developing keoilds, which are quite common with surface piercings.
No.
You need to have a bar or ring in the piercing else it will heal up because a piercing is just like a wound. if theres a bar or ring there then it will heal but around the ring or bar, so you still have the piercing. You don't need a ring, you can have a belly button bar. x
Local tattoo and piercing shops are the primary place to go when wanting to learn more about the industrial bar piercing. Information about this piercing can also be found online on the About site.
from the day you get your lip piercing done, the back, flat part of the labret bar imbeds slightly into your lip, don't worry as long as the lip doesn't engulf the bar, because this is normal. as a result, the bar kind of blends into your lip and it becomes easier to eat as the days go by of the healing process. just be careful if the first labret bar you got from the piercing place is long, because you can end up chewing the bar by mistake, so take eating slow the first while and you'll be fine :)
