Can you smoke after getting your tongue peirced?

No! Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption for 24-48 hours after the piercing has been done. Smoking will dry out the area too much and also could infect it. As soon as my tongue was pierced i was straight out the front and had a cigerette. My piecing never dried out or got infected. Its not that it will dry out your piercing. I does not do that at all. The nicotine in cigarettes slows down the healing process, causing the piercing to take longer to heal. It is the same concept with alcohol -- slows down the healing process. Some people still smoke and drink and are okay, but yet for other people their piercing may never heal if they continue to do it constantly.


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. :)


How long should you wait to change a tongue ring after you get your tongue pierced?

Yees, even though people tell you not to- you can. I changed mine after a week and I've had no problems or pain! just make sure you chase the ring your taking out with the ring your putting in and put some neosporin on the ends of your jewlery, that way it goes through quick and easy (:


How long can you leave a brand new piercing of 1-2 days out of your earlobe before it closes and you can't put it back in?

Probably only a few minutes. A piercing that new has barely even started healing so the jewelry is the only thing keeping it open. Theres no reason why you should have to take it out. If you knew that you'd have to remove it for work or something so soon after getting it, you shouldn't have gotten it at all. Go to your piercer and see if they can get you some clear glass retainers instead.

Is it safe to take out a tongue piercing for good after the first day?

If you decide you no longer want the piercing that is fine. Never remove a piercing till it has fully healed. The Tonga is a muscle and requires adequate healing time do not remove for 3 to 6 months. It will try to heal as soon as you remove it, as well as cause major infection if you take it in and out. It is an open wound and the mouth is a dirty place...

In 16 years I have never had any one's tongue tip change color, so this leads me to believe there are some serious issues going on with your tongue piercing. Best see your doctor as soon as possible.

Can you take your tongue piercing out after you get it done or do you have to wait the 2 weeks?

Because the tonuge is a muscle, it heals up as soon as you take it out, so i would recomend you keep it in, even if it is healed.


What does it mean if your tongue is still bleeding the day after you got it peirced?

Well that's not uncommon and will ease off and stop as soon as the body can heal the cut vessels in your tongue. You want to keep talking down to a minimum for the next while to let the piercing heal.


Is it bad to get a tongue piercing after you got your wisdom teeth pulled just one week ago?

You should probably wait another week or so. You have gaps in your gums where your wisdom teeth were, and those gaps are highly susceptible to infection at first. If you were to get an infection there, it would be very painful and could cause further problems. Getting your tongue piercing exposes your mouth to new issues. The actual piercing could infect it - it can get pretty germ-y in your mouth. Also, you'll be in pain from the piercing, at least for the first few days - are you up to that so soon?


You got your tongue pierced 3 days ago swelling went down but you got a bump under your tongue can you change your tongue ring yet?

You're not supposed to change a fresh tongue piercing for two weeks. Tongue piercings are among some of the fastest healing piercings, but you don't want to change it too soon. If you change it too soon, chances are it will swell up again. If you put a shorter bar in your mouth, it will not be able to handle the swelling. I would recommend waiting at least a week and a half, but two weeks is best.
