This isn't really a question, but get it done if that's what you're asking
Does it hurt when you get your ears pierst?
well not really it just hurts for a bit but when they had pins to pierst your ears my mum fainted because it hurt so much
How do you tell if your body is rejecting your hand web piercing?
The area stays tender, swollen, and red. Also, the piercing will probably migrate and push itself out. Hand web piercings are a terrible idea because they reject so quickly. There's too much movement and hitting in that area.
Is it normal for your tongue piercing to stretch after 2days?
Do you mean that the piercing hole itself has stretched? Its possible that you pulled the bar or played with it too much and it caused a tear but that seems unlikely for only having it for two days. Maybe it just seems like its stretched because the swelling has gone down a bit. Since i cant see it for myself and dont really understand what you mean by stretching, I suggest that you go and sow your piercer and have them help you out :)
Will your belly button reject the piercing if you repierce scar tissue?
It might, but not only because of the scar tissue. Many people just cant heal or keep navel piercings. They are surface piercings so they can be difficult to heal. If its only rejected once, go ahead and give it a try. If its rejected multiple times, you might not be able to keep one so it would be a waste of money :)
Is it normal for yellow stuff to come out of a lip piercing?
If its a really light whitish/yellow, its normal. If its darker or has a green tint to it, its possibly infected. Other signs of infection are discoloration around the piercing, swelling, tenderness, and itchiness. If its a new piercing, these symptoms are normal. They become problematic when they last longer than 2 weeks. If you're playing with it or aggravating it while you eat, it might take longer to heal and be angrier longer. If you think its infected, go see your piercer to have them confirm or deny your suspicion. Then, if it is infected, go see a doctor. Hope this helps! :)
Do piercings ever fully close?
Depends on how long you have them, and what kind they are.
Piercings in the cartilage, lip and ear lobe rarely close completely, they scar while new skin might grow over the hole, the cartilage remains shattered.
Tongue piercings heal quickly, because the tongue is a muscle.
Dermal piercings also heal better than cartilage, but can leave a scar.
Should the barbel in a new navel piercing be turned or moved up and down?
No. Try to move it as little as possible. When you turn and move the barbell, germs and whatnot from the exposed barbell are pushed into the piercing and that can cause infection. Of course, some movement is inevitable during cleaning and just from you moving, but the point is, dont move it yourself :)
Does a Monroe piercing heal faster than a nose piercing?
Yes. If it is taken care of properly it can heal up to two times faster... I have both my nose and monroe done as well as other piercings.
Is it safe to use bactine on a navel piercing?
Chemicals WILL NOT make you heal faster! Quite the opposite in fact, chemicals of any kind will upset the balance within your newly forming cells and create a condition in which your piercing will heal tremendously slow, if ever. Therefore, DO NOT USE any product marked for "external use only" including, but not limited to: Proven, rubbing alcohol, Hydrogen Peroxide, Bactine and Ear Care Solutions, benzethonium chloride, Antibacterial soaps, such as Dial, Soft Soap, etc., Neosporin or any other petroleum-based ointment such as betadine or Hibiclens.
REMEMBER IF YOU CAN'T PUT IT IN EYES DON'T PUT IT IN YOUR PIERCING!
PRODUCTS YOU CAN USE
SALINE SOLUTION: Saline is the key to quick healing! It's PH balanced to our bodies. The easiest and most accurate way to acquire saline is in the form of saline solution for contact lenses, preferably the sterile type in a pressurized can. DO NOT use multi- purpose solutions or wetting/soaking solutions, they contain an enzyme and are not the same as saline solution.
NON-IODIZED SEA SALT: Non-iodized sea salt will always state on the package "this salt does not contain iodine, a necessary nutrient." Check the label before you purchase. DO NOT USE table salt or Epson salt.
How long does it take for a rook piercing to close?
Depends on your body, the size of the piercing, and how old the piercing heals. Everyone's different so theres no way for me to give you an accurate length of time for that. If you want it to close, you can try massaging it with vitamin E or jojoba oil to speed things up :)
What gauge is a belly button piercing?
It depends on where you had it done, usually they are done at 14g but may be 16g.
Does piercing pagoda use sterile piercing guns?
No, since there's no such thing as a sterile piercing gun. Their guns are made of plastic, and CANNOT BE STERILIZED. They put a sterile piercing in it and pierce you with that (MUCH more traumatic, due to its shape, than a needle by the way...) but the gun itself can never be put into an autoclave machine and thus cannot be sterilized. It can shoot bits of debris (read: bits of blood/flesh of previous people) a foot or more through the air, and technically/potentially give you hepatitis. The CDC (Center for Disease Control) does NOT endorse piercing guns, for this reason. For more information, just google something like "Piercing guns suck". The AAP (American Association of Professional Piercers) and BMEZine (hugest resource on body modification) opposes them too.
Is it normal for your lip piercing to bleed heavy hours after getting it?
Were you playing with it? You might have irritated it and opened the wound pretty badly, causing it to bleed heavily, either that, or they used a piercing needle gauge fairly too large for your lip piercing. I've experience piercing people with a piercing needle that's 2 gauges bigger, (For example, a lip piercing is 16g, I've pierce it with a 12gauge once) and it didn't bleed too bad, it bled for about 5-10 minutes.
It shouldnt be bleeding heavily at all. Especially not for hours after getting it pierced. Go see a doctor as soon as possible before you lose too much blood

NO WAY!
