Body Piercing

If you're talking about a nose stud, then switching from a stud to a ring is very difficult for most people, and could very well not work at all. When I went to get my nostril pierced, my piercer warned me that switching from a stud to a ring wasn't possible. However, I've read differently in books (though just because something's published, doesn't necessarily mean it's true...). The best thing to do is to go to your piercer and let him/her know that you intend on switching from stud to ring at some point. If he/she believes it can be done, then your piercer will take care to make sure that the placement of the piercing will make for an easier switch up.

As far as when to switch, well, the average healing time for a nostril ring can be anywhere from 2 to 6 months. I would not advise switching before that. The nostril is one of the places where even long-term healed piercings close up, and while healing, it could happen in the amount of time it takes for you to remove the stud, clean the ring, and get ready to put it in. So, on that note, I would suggest that you see a professional to help you with your first switch up, just to make sure that hole doesn't close on you while you potentially struggle to get a ring in.

I've never tried putting a ring in, so I'm not speaking from experience. Everyone's body is different and therefore everyone's results and experiences will slightly differ from one another. However, my cautions are just information I've obtained from various professional piercers (Also, some of this is simply common sense), so it's always best to play things safe, just in case. Good luck, and I hope you have a successful switch-out!

No its bigger. The smaller the gauge the thicker it is

If you get it , use dermal anchors. Basically they cut a slit and insert the foot of the dermal into that slit. It hurts for some, and not for others. Every piercing is going to hurt but there isn't a way to determine just how badly it will.

For stretches from 18ga-6ga 1 month at least. For 6ga-2ga, about two months, but depends on what method you use to stretch. Same goes for sizes over 2ga. If you use the taping method, you can apply about 2 coats of tape a week.

Take a cartilage piercing out like any other ear piercing, get a grip of one hand on the jewel part of the earring and the other hand on the backing and slowly pull hand #1 out pushing away from the face. While this is occurring, take hand #2 and push the backing in a twisty motion away from the face. Do NOT take out a cartilage piercing if not in for 1 full year to 1.5 years in the risk of infection. If already infected, contact your physician and have him/her remove it. Do not do so yourself! :) good luck!

the place that YOU would like to get done the most will be the coolest place to get pierced. trust me, ull love it so much more on you.

i personally like the ears(industrial) and uniquie places like anti eyebrow, surface eyebrow, random neck or belly...

but the most popular is the ear lobe.

A normal earring is 18 gauge. I'm not sure of the mm..

Speaking from experience- the hole wont close up until about a day after you take it out if you have waited six weeks, but after about 2 hours a layer of skin will grow over the back. if you do it yourselve, or get someone else to, then you can use the earring to go through the layer. just push really hard. it hurts a bit, but is no worse then when you first get your ears pierced.

Back dimple piercings, also known as Venus piercings, are placed on either side of the lower back where the back dimples are. The piercing procedure involves marking the spots, cleaning the area, then using a needle to create a hole for the jewelry. It is important to go to a professional piercer who has experience with surface piercings to reduce the risk of complications.

it feels like a quick pinch but if you get it pierced on the other ear it hurt a littel more.

A 6 gauge piercing can be uncomfortable and painful during the insertion process, as it involves stretching the skin or cartilage to accommodate the larger jewelry. Pain tolerance varies among individuals, so what one person perceives as painful may differ for another. It is advisable to consult with a professional piercer who can provide guidance on pain management techniques and aftercare.

Yes, you can try repiercing the area once it has fully healed and any signs of rejection have resolved. It is recommended to consult with a professional piercer for advice on the best approach and to ensure proper placement to prevent further complications.

Cancer cells can spread throughout the body by a process called metastasis, where they can invade nearby tissues and travel through the bloodstream or lymphatic system to form new tumors in other parts of the body. They acquire the ability to metastasize due to genetic mutations and changes in cell behavior that allow them to detach from the original tumor and survive in different environments.

Schools typically have policies against piercings for reasons related to safety and hygiene. Piercings may pose a risk of injury during physical activities, can be a distraction in the learning environment, and may potentially lead to infections if not properly cared for. Regulations are in place to maintain a safe and conducive educational setting.

Yes remove the jewellery and leave them alone and the tissue will contract over time. If you tore the piercings at all during the stretching process, there can be some scar tissue in the piercing which will deform the piercings.

Well a nipple barbell is measured from inside the first ball on the shaft to the other ball inside on the shaft. It's the inside measurement you need not including the thread on balls. In a nipple (male of female) the barbell should be 2~3 millimeters longer than the actual nipple is across to ensure there is room for cleaning and enhancement. The nipple will become larger in diameter as the piercing heals, this applies to both female and male nipple piercings.

No, a 5x100 stud pattern will not fit on a 5x120 stud pattern because the number and placement of the studs are different. The studs need to align perfectly for the wheels to mount correctly on the hub.

Well don't force it just keep cleaning it normally and it will start to move on it's own. Movement can usually be seen by about the 2nd weeks of cleaning, this is an indication that the piercing is healing well.

Simply because the jewellery is the same size as the piercing, therefore the hole in the tissue is plugged and prevented from bleeding.If the jewellery were smaller than the actual piercing then the piercings would in fact bleed.

You go to a professional. Piercing yourself is a bad idea unless you are a professional piercer. You can't sterilize the jewelry or tools without an autoclave which I doubt you have. If you were to actually create a sanitary room and get your tools/jewelry autoclaved it would cost more than going to a pro. If its about money, save up and go to a pro. Otherwise, its a bad idea to put your health at risk just to save a few bucks. Piercing yourself will be much more painful and risky.

Stretching with PTFE tape usually takes 1-2 weeks depending on your skin's elasticity and how your ears respond to the process. It's important to listen to your body and not rush the stretching to avoid potential complications.

18 gauge is the next smallest from 16 gauge. Size runs from highest number being the smallest gauge to lower numbers being the larger gauge.

IE: 18g 16g 14g 12g 10g

You'll need to give the piercing area time to heal properly before getting it re-pierced. How long that is depends on how quickly your body heals, and how irritated the area got when you pulled the ring out.

Good luck!

It actually means nothing other than you were too lazy to get the other ear done. This whole left right gay not thing died back in the 70's. Today most males have both ears done either with rings or studs and the sexual orientation has nothing to do with your personal image or style sense.

Basically there's very sensitive tissue in the deeper areas of your nose. That coupled with the fact that the skin up there has a very high density of blood vessels which warms the air going into your lungs. It's so warm that the water is like an ice bath for your poor little nose.
