It really depends on how recently you got it pierced, what your jewelery gauge is, and how fast of a healer you are.

I have had my piercing for about 3 years and i took mine out over night, and put the ring back through in the morning, and it had already started to close.

So I just would advise you to keep it in, if taking it out is fully necessary then put it right back in as soon as possible.

Is it ok to have button piercing when you are Pregnant?

If you are pregnant and had your navel pierced before you got pregnant then yes you can keep your piercing until it starts to become uncomfortable, you can then have the jewellery changed to PTFE or Bioplast barbell for the rest of your term. If you are thinking about getting your navel pierced then I would suggest you wait till you have had the baby and have settled down into a bit more normal routine. No professional body piercing studios will knowingly pierce anyone who is pregnant. It's to prevent loading the immune system down too far, it's also to protect the baby and you from the potential of a secondary infection entering your system via the new piercing.


Why would a nipple piercing suddenly become sore?

Well if the piercing is under a year old "stitches" (sudden little painful tinges) are not unusual and will come and go as the piercing seasons. With female nipple piercing this can some times occur just before your cycle (2~3 days before) starts and will ease off once the cycle has started. It's not unusual and nothing to worry about.

How long can you leave a belly button piercing out before it closes?

It depends on how old the piercing is. If it's over a year old, then you can go a couple of days. If it's under a year old, then a couple of hours. The newer the piercing is, the less time you have with it removed before it starts becoming difficult to put it back in. If it closes, then go in to see your local professional body piercer for some help.


After 6 weeks of healing how long can you leave a lip piercing out before it closes?

I don't know why people ask these questions, if you don't want the piercing visible then don't get it pierced. Now that I have covered that, let's answer the question. Professional body piercers don't consider a piercing healed until it's at least a year old. Your body works on priorities and once the body has a good hold on healing the piercing it backs off on the process to deal with other things like cuts, colds and infections. So the healing process slows down as the risk to the body decreases. Taking the jewellery out of the piercing even for a few hours after six weeks of healing will tell the body to start closing the piercing. If there is any way you can avoid removing the jewellery that would be far better than taking the jewellery out. If you were at six months or even three months with the piercing being left to heal that would be much better. To take it out now I would say you have a 2 hour time limit before the piercing starts to close to the point you will be tearing the piercing open trying to reinsert the jewellery.


You pierced your own lip and its really swollen and hurts bad?

It is probably infected. If you pierced your lip with a safety pin or sewing needle, it is also due to hurt more because it should have been pierced with a hollow needle. Rinse your mouth out with warm salt water after you eat. If the swelling does not go down, and it starts to ooze yellow/greenish liquid, remove the piercing and treat it like any normal cut or scrape. It is better to get rid of it than to get a bad infection.

How long can you leave your eyebrow ring out before it closes up?

If you like your piercing, keep jewelry in it. A piercing can close up in a matter of minutes or months or never. It varies between person, anatomy, and the piercing so it's hard to give a solid time frame.


What does it mean if you had your tongue pierced?

A little bit of bleeding is normal but if it gets worse, go to the ER. With tongue piercings, theres a high risk of hitting a blood vessel and bleeding out. If you're legitimately worried, go to the doctor. Better safe than sorry :)


Where can i find a clean place that will pierce my nose under the age of 13 and what city is it located in and the name and address?

Not everyone under 13 can get there noses pierced, you need to realize that your face is still developing and with that the shape of the nose is going to change, thus the placement will also change. Now you need to know that no professional body piercing studio will pierce your nose without a parent or legal guardian there to sign and show proof of relationship or guardianship in writing. Ear piercing guns are not designed nor intended to be used to pierce nostrils, and in most cases there are regulations prohibiting the use of piercing guns for anything other than ear lobes. If you want your nostril pierced you should start with your local phone book and look up "body piercing" and "tattoos" (some tattoo shops will also do body piercing), you can ask them what the local regulations are for piercing minors in your area and what they need for parental consent. Be aware that in some places body piercing and ear piercing services are not permitted to anyone under the age of 16 regardless of parental consent. This is quite often a local city or township bylaw. You need to do your research and that starts with the local phone book and some phone calls.

What to do if belly button piercing is hurting?

Clean it and leave it alone, chances are good you are messing around and touching it way too much. Clean the piercing and leave it alone and try to forget about it till you have to clean it again. If the piercing is itchy then chances are good you are reacting to your cleaning products and to resolve this you need to flush the piercing under running water while moving the jewellery then dry the piercing and the itching should stop.
