Is it okay for you taste buds to hurt and feel numb after a tongue piercing?

Numbness is definitely not normal. I suggest that you go and see a doctor to figure out what is going on.

The standard starter size for a septum piercing is 14g.

When is the earliest you can take out your snake bite piercing?

Wait at least 2-3 months. Once the swelling goes down and stays down for a bit, you can go back to your piercer to have them change it but dont change it yourself :)

Can you numb your nipples before getting them pierced?

You can certainly ice them before hand if you like, but you will have to get them pretty numb for you to not feel much of anything. It's the best bit of advice that I can give you unless you just so happen to have some topical Lidocaine laying around the house somewhere or something to the effect.

How can you numb your nipples so it don't hurt when you get them pierced?

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.

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.

Is it ok to take a bubble bath after getting your belly button periced?

I would hold off on that for at least a week or two. Baths collect a lot of germs and thats not good for a new piercing. So try and stick to showers. If you dont have a shower, wear a water proof bandage over it if you can and rinse it with the sea salt+water after bathing. You also dont want to get any soap on the piercing while its healing so the bubble liquid might irritate it.

Why does your tragus piercing have a big bubble?

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 :)

Can you get paralyzed from a dimple piercing?

Dimple piercings are classified by most experienced professional body piercers as "stupid piercings".

Piercings that transverse muscle are basically issues waiting to happen, they are prone to healing issues, rejection issues and other long term physical issues effecting the bodies ability to function correctly. Wise professional body piercers won't do them because of the long term problems the client can have down the road. nerve damage, severing or transversing saliva ducts, long term scarring and permanent muscle damage are just too great. Any piercer willing to do these clearly doesn't care about the clients best interests and is purely out for the money and nothing more.

Common sense needs to prevail when choosing a piercing, use yours and ask many more questions before you accept an unknown fate. Professional body piercers are good at what we do, but there are limits and not every body is built or structured the same. So with that the risk of doing damage to the fine under lying structures is something that needs to be considered. Once a structure in the body is damaged, like a cheek tendon or nerve, it's damaged and can't be fixed. This may sound cold but it is the truth coming from an actual professional body piercer. Think twice and research it to the endth degree before you damage what cant be fixed.

What do you do if your industrial piercing has a cut on the end?

Is the cut related to the piercing or is it just from a scratch in that area? If its unrelated to the piercing, you can put some neosporin or any other antibacterial cream on it. Make sure its the cream and not the ointment because the ointment is too thick and can stop the piercing from breathing if the cut is close to the piercing. If the piercing hole looks like a slit because of the cut or migration, go see your piercer. You might need a custom bar or to remove the piercing and get it done again later.

Does having your tongue pierced hurt 5 weeks after?

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.

Why do young girls feel the need to get their ears pierced?
