Can you pierce your lip with an earring?

Piercing Your Lip With an EarringIn theory, yes. Although its a heck of a lot safer to go to a professional. If you're that hell bent on doing it yourself, get a disinfected pin/needle, numb your lip with ice, pierce it with the pin and then place a clean lip ring/stud in the hole. Clean Regularly at least three times a day especially after eating, be sure to twist the stud/ring every few hours to avoid your lip healing around the piercing.

DON'T use mouthwash!! This tends to dry your mouth out, and makes it harder for the piercing to heal. The mouth is one of the fastest healing parts of your body, since it is always moist. Rinsing with water will work fine after eating, as long as there isn't any food stuck to the ring. If you insist on using an earring, make sure that when you're finished, the ring doesn't pinch, or pull on the skin. This could lead to infection, and scarring.

How do you get the ball off your naval ring to remove it?

Generally you unscrew the top ball (the one on the top, outside of your belly button rather than on the under, inside), but sometimes if the ball is on there really tight you'll need to use pliers to unscrew it. Just be careful and make sure you don't lose the ball, but if you do you can always use a ball from another ring.

Is it okay to change earring studs when the original ones have started to turn green at the back even if it may be earlier than the recommended four to six weeks for healing time before changing studs?

"If it has been at least 2 weeks, you can change them quickly. Just remember not to pull the ear lobe as you put an earring in, push it straight in.

Personally, from experience.. the green in the back of the earring stud isn't much to worry about and is closer to the piercing just actually healing...."

You're completely wrong, however here's the right facts towards body piercings.

The first mistake you had was getting pierced with a gun, or very low grade jewelry since the "green at the back" is the metal tarnishing because of it's low quality. Earlobes take 6 weeks to heal, however you don't want the tarnish to get into your fresh hole still.

I would say change it, it's not recommended in any professional sense to change jewelry early, but it definitly has to go if it's causing that.

Goodluck to ya.

Your ears feel like they need to pop like when flying but unable to do so?

That feeling comes from unequal air pressure between the external ear canal and the middle ear. It is normally relieved, or equalized, by action of muscles that open the eustachian tube, a channel that runs from the back of the throat to the middle ear. Some people have the knack of "popping" their ears; others don't, and it's a difficult knack to teach. Fortunately, there's a trick that works for most people. The muscles that open the eustachian tube are attached to the soft palate (on the roof of the mouth). Those muscles go into action when we chew. For that reason, chewing a piece of gum will eventually result in the contraction of those critical muscles, and the ears will "pop." (Why chew gum? Because the chewing can be continuous without our having to replenish what is being chewed.) If you are in a pressurized cabin or the elevator of a tall office building, the difference in air pressure will be small, and as long as there is no pain, no harm will result if you wait until you return to lower levels, when the pressures will again be equal, and the need to "pop" your ears will disappear. If your ears do "pop" at high altitudes, then you may have to re-pop them when you return to lower levels.

How long can you take out your nipple piercing before hole closes?

This varies from person to person and also how long you have had the piercing. Never remove a piercing for more than a few minutes if it is less than a year and a half to two years old, simply as a precaution.

If it is old enough, the best way to check is to remove your piercing in the morning when you get up and periodically (every four hours) slip the jewelry back in and see if it's stiff or still loose. If it stays loose throughout the entire day add an hour or two to how long the jewelry is out.

If you can go 16 or more hours without it getting stiff I would then leave it out overnight (your body heals better at night when you are resting) and try to put it in first thing in the morning.

If it's stiff then you know what you should not leave it out overnight, but during the day. This is the best way I can think to do this as it works VERY well for new (but old enough) piercings and stretched piercings.

Why does it feel like you have water in your ears when tilting head right and left?

You may well have water in your ears if you had a shower and washed your hair, or, it could be wax build-up and you should see your doctor to removed the wax. A good tip: After washing your hair and you start to blow-dry it, put the blow dryer on low/warm and let the warm air rush into each ear for a few seconds. This dries up any moisture that may have gotten into the ear and it will also melt ear wax.
