    Different Types of Body Piercings and How Long they Heal

    Different Types of Body Piercings and How Long they Heal

    Finally decided to get some body piercings? What type of body piercing do you have in mind? There are many types of piercings you can do with your body, but for now, we’ll just concentrate on the three most popular types these days (excluding the face and the ears).

    It's always good to have an understanding of the time it could take to heal specific piercings before you make the decision to book an appointment for a procedure.

    Navel Piercings

    While these are often called "belly button piercings", the belly button isn't actually pierced. The piercing typically goes from above the top rim of the belly button down and out into the belly button cavity. The same can be done at any point around the belly button rim. Don't expect to take your navel piercing out anytime soon after getting it done. Average healing time is up to 12 months.

    Chest Piercings

    Chest piercings are piercings put anywhere from the clavicle to the ribs. These can be done as micro dermal piercings or sometimes as a surface piercing with a bar that has two protruding ends. With proper care and cleaning, a pierced chest may heal completely in four to six weeks.

    Nipple Piercings (Female)

    Nipples can be pierced in many different ways, but horizontally is the most popular. They can also be done vertically and diagonally though, and look equally awesome. Plus, if you're into a more extreme look, you can have multiple piercings through the same nipple.

    Nipple piercings take longer to heal for women than for men. Healing times vary between 3 to 6 months for females, while 2 to 4 months for males.

    Practice proper aftercare!

    Shortly after you get a body piercing, the area is highly susceptible to irritation and infection. It's important to take care of your piercing to prevent infection from occurring. After care includes washing hands prior to touching the piercing, soaking with saline for 5-10 minutes once or twice a day, washing with a small amount of mild soap daily and rinsing thoroughly. Also use disposable paper products to dry the area instead of cloth items such as towels as these could harbor bacteria or cause mechanical irritation.

    Tips to Help You with Your First Body Piercing

    Tips to Help You with Your First Body Piercing

     

    So you have finally decided to get your very first body piercing. It’s vital that you pay careful attention to a few things like your health prior to getting it done, how you are getting pierced and most importantly, who is going to do it. Here are the things you need to know before getting pierced.

    FIND A REPUTABLE EAR-PIERCING SPECIALIST

    Pulling a DIY is fun when it comes to many things, but none of it should be piercing. It can potentially result in a serious infection if not done right. Before deciding on a studio, do your research well and make sure the reviews are positive. Much better if it’s personally recommended by a friend or an acquaintance.

    DON’T BE AFRAID TO ASK QUESTIONS

    From their studio’s cleanliness, how long they have been doing it, if they have had any complications to proper body piercing aftercare, don’t hesitate to ask all the questions you want.

    KEEP IT CLEAN AND FOLLOW CARE INSTRUCTIONSBefore getting a body piercing, make sure you are knowledgeable on the aftercare and the healing process. It would be nice too if you are aware of your infection risks and other medical issues that can possibly complicate getting a body piercing. Make sure you follow the care instructions.

    CONSIDER YOUR LIFESTYLE

    Some body piercings may seem cool when you’re in your 20s, but may not be a hit when you’re in your 30s as some workplaces may not accept these. If you’re planning to remove the piercing constantly to conceal them at work, it may increase the healing time, as well as the risk of infection. Regardless of your personal feeling on body piercings, remember that it’s looked down upon by some. Consider the impact on your lifestyle.

    CHOOSE QUALITY BODY JEWELRY

    Ensure that you pick quality jewelry made from quality materials. Choose the ones that will work well in your body and won’t give you any complications. Look fierce and cute all while keeping yourself safe from possible infections.
