Most studs have a spiral shape at the end of them to secure them in.
because it is just healing from when it got pierced
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.
not usually, but it depends on the person.
Your Navel piercing shouldn't be dark. I would suggest you go back and see your piercer.
If you just got your ear pierced on Saturday, and its now Monday and the back of your nose ring fell off, find a saline solution and clean the nose piercing, and do not try to insert a new nose ring before your piercing is well healed.
Well when you get the piercing done by a licensed and inspected piercing facility they will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions in writing for you to follow outlining how and when to clean the piercing. If you got the piercing done and you were not provided with this information you need to go back and ask for the information, they are required to provide it to every client they do.
visit your ear piercing salon where you got it pierced and if they can't do anything to help then they will refer you to your GP so visit your doctor and he/she will tell you what to do. Swelling is not uncommon with some piercings, this can be due to the type of piercing and the location of the piercing. Oral piercings around the mouth will swell this is due to the nature of the tissue that was pierced. Eyebrow piercings can swell and even bruise, this is not uncommon again due to the nature of the tissue being pierced. Your aftercare guide should instruct you on how to treat localized swelling for the piercing you have. Ultimately if you are in doubt if the swelling is normal go back and see your piercer.
Your immune system is loaded down right now and a piercing is not going to help it one bit. wait till you are back to normal health before getting anything pierced.
hi i have a lower back tattoo and i have had my belly button pierced. and the tattoo hurts loads more than the piercing. the piercing is over within minutes, by the time you feel it its done. hope this helps, Lisa
It means it's been pierced in the wrong place. Your stud should have a flat back, and shouldn't irratate your mouth at all, so yeah, I think you should go back to wherever you got it pierced and explain whats happened.
It can feel sore as soon as you get up from the piercing table. Sitting down can be a pain, but leaning back can help that. Hope you find this usefull.
It depends on how thick the earring is you were pierced with (and the gauge of the ball-closure ring you want to put in it). When I got pieced back in 1993, they were still using HUGE thick studs (ugh, and now i just sHuDDER to think of mall piercings and piercing guns, and how evil and unsafe they are) -- yet my mom said they were THIN compared to what she was pierced with back in the 60s. The piercing studs I see now at mall places are way thinner than the ones I had back in 1993. If you were pierced with the thicker type studs, you should be able to get a (16 gauge) ball-closure ring in with no problem. (14 gauge body jewelry is very common too though, and that would be too big). If you got pierced with the thinner, newer studs (closer to 18 gauge, which is how thick regular, non-piercing studs are, or they can be even thinner), then you could probably still do it but it would pinch a bit at first (it would stretch it). You didn't specify, so I assumed that you were talking about a lobe (NOT a cartilage) piercing. If you're talking about a cartilage piercing, you should pop into a piercing place and find a nice piercer to ask for advice.
