Body Piercing

Depends on the shop. Usually, if you go back to where they were done, they'll do it for free. If they're decent, they care more about your health and the possibility of scarring more than getting compensation for it. They might charge a few bucks because they'll have to re-sterilize the tools and whatnot. * I'm assuming that you meant dermal anchors* If its a bar, I highly doubt that they'll charge anything at all since its a fairly simple removal. Call the shop and ask them about their policy

its pierced and 15 with a parent

Definitely not. I'm sure that you're aware of the increased risk of infection, scarring, cartilage collapse etc with piercing yourself. Industrials can be trick for pros to line up right so its a terrible idea to do yourself. Everyone's ear is different so they'll measure and angle it just right for your ear. Especially if you have glasses. Industrials also need a bar that allows for swelling without being too long. If you do it yourself and the bar is too short, you pierce and at bad angle, or you pierce it too shallowly, the bar can get ripped out and leave you with scar tissue. So, you definitely need to go to a pro for it. If its about money, you can get one piercing at a time whenever you save the money.

A needle is sterilized, and the needle is used to pierce a small hole where you wish to place an adornment like an earring. And numbing isnt recommended.

The stud is too short. Go back to your piercer to have them change it before it gets really bad.

yes it is the most painful piercing

Nothing really. Some people get them to show of their back dimples others get them just because :)

Pretty much all piercings hurt - its just a matter of how much. Most nose piercing hurts about the same as getting an earlobe pierced. Of course there is also soreness after the piercing which usually goes away after it heals up (unless it gets infected).

Nothing is appropriate for all teenagers as all teenagers are not identical and don't live in identical situations. In general exposed body piercings in certain areas (ears, nose) are deemed perfectly acceptable while others are arbitrarily seen as heavy modifications and may cause a problem if, for example, you're applying to law school.

Keloid scar or hypertrophic scarring. Hypertrophic scarring is common with cartilage piercings. Go out and buy some Tea Tree Oil. You can find it at target or walmart by the vitamins and I'm sure any drugstore would have it. After you clean your piercing, use a q-tip and dab a bit of the oil on the bubble then leave it on there until you clean it that night. Don't put it in the actual piercing. If its new, wait till its at least a month old to use the oil. Apply the oil once every day and every other day if it gets drying. The oil dries up the bubble and it'll flake off in layers until completely gone. Good luck :)

The top part unscrews

Iv heard that it hurts like hell to most women and if she has a really high pain tolerance than not so much, but usually it will hurt and there will be blood and tears.

If you want to needlessly irritate it and dry it out, sure. But in all seriousness, no, don't use this on the site. The best thing to use on virtually all fresh piercings that you can make at home for little money, use sea salt soaks. For this, you will mix a ¼ Teaspoon of non-iodized Sea Salt with 8oz. of, as warm to hot as you can stand it within reason, distilled water. The optimal time to do this is right after a hot shower at twice a day for the initial healing time of the piercing. You don't want to over clean the site, and you don't want to under clean it either. You will mix this solution in a one time use disposable cup and will then "cup" the cup over the piercing site and hold it firm to the skin, making a seal, and let it just soak the site for about 15 minutes. The warm to hot water mixed with the sea salt makes a great astringent which is vastly better for you than trying to use such things as peroxide and the like. After the 15 minute soak, take a clean Q-tip and gently wipe away the softened lymphatic fluid that will most likely be accumulated at the fistula and harden on the rod. Don't use the same side of the swab for both sides of the entrance points, and when done, rinse the area with warm water and pat dry the site.

In the state of Mississippi, it is unlawful to tattoo or pierce any minor under the age of 16, and even with proper parental consent at that age, it is at the discretion of the shop who they will and will not perform work upon based on age or even your own personal attitiude if they like.

Usually not. But if you talk a lot, play with the piercing, or try to eat solid foods while its healing, it'll delay the healing time and it may extend to 5 weeks. Everyone heals differently but you'll probably only experience a little bit of tenderness in 5 weeks.

You will most likely be dealing with a hypertrophic scar as opposed to a keloid, but a keloid is a possibility if it continues to grow past a small bump. These are exceedingly common with cartilage piercings. The easiest way to deal with them is one of two methods that I know of. The first is to treat the site with Tea Tree Oil, which depending on its reaction with your skin in its raw state; you may want to cut slightly with water. After a shower, apply this solution to the entrance and exit points of the piercing with a clean Q-tip, and don't use the same side of the swab for both sides of the piercing. Saturate the cotton with the oil and apply it to the area about twice a day, and the scarring should significantly dissipate, if not go away entirely. There is also a combination that I know of consisting of Sea Salt Soaks coupled with a chamomile tea bag. For this, make the typical solution of sea salt water, i.e.; 8 ½ ounces of distilled water mixed with ¼ teaspoon of non-iodized sea salt and then brew this with a chamomile bag in the water. When done, take the bag out and use this as a hot compress on the site. I've heard and read good things about this mixture.

You'll have to call the shop and ask them but its usually 16. Sometimes its 17, all depends on the shop.

There's no way to be sure honestly. Some people can have piercings for years that never fully heal to the point that they don't close. If you have other piercings that have healed to that point, you can use that as a gauge but otherwise, don't remove the jewelry unless you want to risk losing the piercing :)

Not sure what you mean by studs. Hip piercings can have ball ends, half dome ends, stars, hearts, gems, flowers, dangles. Most of those are choices with dermal anchors. Most barbells are just ball ends.

I'd feel terrible if I didn't warn you against getting them. They are extremely difficult to keep for over a year because theres so much movement in that area. Dermals are the best option for the location but they aren't a magical solution, unfortunately. Just do a lot of research on them and read stories about people's experiences before getting them!! :)

If the piercing is completely healed, no. If the piercing is still fresh/new, possibly. If you remove it, continue to clean & care for it as you would any other wound.

yea depends not trying to sound racsit but black people dont look good with it cause I tried it and I had a white friend who had it and it looked nice cant say the same for me :p

I guess it depends on your face shape, and how you wear it, I pierced mine, and I can say sometimes I look trashy with it, because of my dimple piercings, but sometimes it looks nice, if i dress up ! :) Plus, if you wanted one, you can always flip it up and keep it there, that's what I do! :)

Go see a piercer if you can. If you got sick or or were exposed to sick people, that could delay healing. It could also be something with the jewelry. Just go and see if its anything that piercer can help you out with :)

i work as a receptionist in a piercing and tattoo shop and the law says that you must be 16 years old to get your tragus pierced in the uk, with or without parental consent, most places, if they have any doubt of your age they will ask for your passport or another proof of age.
