Follow the directions from the professional who did the piercing. Like any procedure, it is likely to be preferable to avoid pools, lakes or other bodies of water until it has completely healed. Avoid wearing the jewelry into the pool after that. Find a good way to clean the area once you are finished and before you put the jewelry back in. You can used pre-packaged saline without additives or make your own: Dissolve 1/4 teaspoon of non-iodized (iodine-free) sea salt into one cup (8 oz.) of warm distilled or bottled water.

Answer: It is not a good idea to go into any large body of water, no matter how clean with a piercing (or a tattoo, for that matter) because of how many people/germs go into the water. It just makes it easier for infection, which can cause rejection of the jewelry.

However, if you do go into the water make sure that you clean your piercing thoroughly. But, it's best to avoid it until you're all healed up!

Answer 2: YES! Negatively, so don't do it! That's a cesspool of bacteria that you're talking about, chlorine or no chlorine. And do you think the chlorine itself is good for your piercing? That's right, it's DEFINITELY NOT. Any good piercer tells you not to go swimming or even to take baths (unless you clean the tub REALLY well and then rinse it down REALLY well before filling it with your water to bathe in.

If you give your nose 2 weeks to heal and then go swimming will it affect the nose piercing?

yes, the chlorine will infect the inside of the piercing. Not to mention all of the germs floating around in whatever body of water you are swimming in. although, if you've only had the piercing for 2 weeks, when you take it out, it will instantly heal seeing as you've not given it enough time to heal. so technically, if you take it out and go swimming an hour later or something, it will have healed up, so it'll be like there was never a piercing :/

Does chlorine in swimming pools affect your hair if you have dyed it brown?

It certainly can. The chemicals (not actually literally "chlorine", but that's a common name for them, and they do often contain chlorine) used to disinfect swimming pools are generally bleaching agents to a greater or lesser extent, and will frequently cause hair to lighten in color. They can also cause damage to the hair itself.

Does chlorine affect sleep?

I have been swimming everyday for a whole week, and this whole week i could not go to sleep at all.

So yes, chlorene does affect your sleep.


Would getting a piercing removed and getting a new one in the same session affect the healing proccess of either?

Since this will probably cause confusion, I'm planning on visiting a local piercing parlor within the next couple of days to remove my cartilage piercing (which I've had for over a year) and get my rook done instead (in the same ear) and I'm just wondering if that will traumatize my ear or affect/prolong the healing process for both the new and removed piercing. I know it sounds kinda stupid, but I don't want to take any chances. Thanks!
