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! :)

Can piercing your cartilage with a gun hurt you It was about 4 days ago and it still hurts pretty bad..and no infection. so what do you think?

Go see an actual piercer to have them check it out. Guns use a lot of pressure and can cause a lot of bruising and unnecessary trauma so it'll hurt longer than if you had gotten it done with a needle. Using a gun on cartilage is a terrible idea because you could have shattered the cartilage and disfigured your ear. Chances are that the stud is too short to allow for swelling so go to a piercer and have them give you proper jewelry and check the area for infection. Definitely dont use a gun for any other piercings ever again.

Is Claires accessories the best place to get ear piercings?

Absolutely not! Here's why:

  • The "piercers" at claire's only have to read a short manual on how to use the gun. They don't have any knowledge about piercings and aftercare. Certified piercers are required to take courses in First aid, and Blood-borne pathogens. They also attend workshops on how to perform different piercings, what jewelry is appropriate, and how they should be take care of afterwards. They are also required to undergo an apprenticeship for at least 9 months. Getting a certification can take years and I'd much rather put my health in the hands of a certified piercer than those of a simple sales person's. Claire's employees very commonly give out wrong information in regards to aftercare.
  • Claire's also uses piercing guns. These are TERRIBLE for any piercing. Guns force blunt studs through you ears, causing unnecessary trauma and pain. Yes, some of the studs have pointy ends, but they are no where near as sharp as a needle. These guns can also function. Its quite common for the guns to jam, meaning that the stud is in your ear, but the gun is still attached to the stud. The best analogy for guns vs needles is this: Using a gun is like punching a whole in a wall and needles are like stabbing the wall. Punching it creates a mess with unnecessary surround damage. The knife creates a clean hole and it penetrates the wall easier and faster. Guns can also shatter cartilage, resulting in permanent disfiguration.
  • Lets talk about the jewelry. Claire's is known for having terrible quality jewelry that literally breaks down inside of the piercing. Poor quality jewelry can cause reactions and severely irritate the piercing. It can also harbor bacteria and increase the risk of infection. The backs are another problem. Guns force the backs onto the stud, resulting in a really tight fit. These backs are very commonly stuck in place on the back of the jewelry. This is terrible for swelling. Any new piecing is going to swell and if the jewelry is too tight, you ear can basically swallow up the jewelry. Not only is this painful, but can be a pain to get corrected.

I know this is a lot of info, it turned out longer than I expected XD Just PLEASE don't go to Clai'res for piercings. Go to a professional!! :)

How old do you have to be to get a bellybutton piercing with a parent?

Can you use peroxide to clean your naval piercing?

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.

Would a crooked tongue web piercing straighten out after it heals?

If its swollen, it can look crooked. So yes, that should straighten out once the swellings gone. If it looks crooked immediately after piercing it, its most likely going to stay like that. If it really bothers you, talk to the piercer about getting it repierced.

Can you paralyze your lip by piercing it?

Sometimes. If you do it by yourself, it can happen. If you pierce it in the wrong spot, you can hit a nerve, resulting in paralyzation. I highly recommend getting it pierced by a purofessional.
You can do damage to nerve bundles if you attempt to do your own piercing. Leave it to a professional body piercer.

How do you know when your belly button piercing is healed enough to change the ring?

Wait at least 2-3 months. If its ready, there wont be any swelling or tenderness. It may be red if you hit it or something like that. I dont change out any of my piercings until I can poke it and lightly tug on the jewelry without it hurting. If you aren't sure, you can always just have your piercer look at it :)

What is the superstitious reason of an itchy belly button?

Today i experienced a sense of an itchy belly button at work out of nowhere i was thinking to myself "why is it so itchy out of nowhere?" before that happened something had reminded me that i didnt have my name tag and i looked down and out of nowhere this scene played in my head what the effect of this cause was going to be like.. a couple hours later after the itchyness went away my boss asked me if i was going home. My reply was a no. He then told me to tuck in my shirt and asked me where my name tag was at and i told him it was at home. He then told me to leave. It was like i attracted that to happen in a way. Kind of like the law of attraction..

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
