Yes. Water is filled with germs and thats not good for a new piercing. It really increases the chances of infection. If it gets infected, you could end up with permanent scarring or disfigurement of the cartilage in the area. Just wait 2-3 months to put the piercing in the water. You can go swimming as long as you dont get the piercing wet. Cover it with a bandaid to prevent any water from being splashed on it and clean it well afterwards.

Can you swim in a pool after a new eyebrow piercing?
You need to wait 4-6 weeks after you get the piercing before you go swimming. The first 4-6 weeks are a critical time in the healing process, and during this time your piercing does not need any added irritation. Chlorine is very drying to your skin, which can cause your piercing to flare up and becoming irritated.In addition, do not go swimming in lakes or rivers either. Lakes and rivers are treated with any disinfectant, so they have a lot of bacteria in and around them. If bacteria comes into contact with your new piercing, it could become infected.

Pierce an industrial with a gun?
To answer your question, they do not use a gun to do an industrial piercing. they use something similar to a sewing needle that's the best way i can describe it. its much sharper and bigger about a 14 gauge. they have videos on youtube so you can get an idea of the steps taken and the instruments used. i have an industrial piercing myself i don't think that the needle felt any different than getting a regular earlobe or cartilage piercing with a gun both feel the same to me. I hope I was able to provide you with the answer you were looking for. Bridget, 17, New Jersey
