Implant-grade titanium and other appropriate body-safe materials are commonly recommended for new piercings.

6. HEALING & AFTERCARE

25. How long does it take for a piercing to heal?

Healing times depend on the piercing location and your body's healing process. Some piercings heal in weeks, while others may take several months or longer.

26. How do I clean my new piercing?

Use sterile saline wound wash as recommended by your piercer. Always wash your hands before touching your piercing.

27. Is it normal for a new piercing to be swollen?

Some swelling, tenderness, and mild redness can be normal during early healing. Severe or worsening symptoms should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.

28. Can I use alcohol or peroxide to clean my piercing?

No. Alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and harsh cleaning products can irritate healing tissue. Sterile saline is generally recommended.

29. Can I swim after getting a new piercing?

Avoid swimming in pools, lakes, oceans, and hot tubs while your piercing is healing because of possible exposure to bacteria.

30. Can I sleep on my new ear piercing?

Try not to sleep directly on a healing piercing. Pressure can cause irritation and prolong healing.

31. What should I do if my piercing gets infected?

Seek medical advice if you suspect an infection. Do not remove jewelry unless instructed by a healthcare professional.

32. Can I get pierced if I'm sick?

It's best to reschedule if you're feeling ill. Your health and safety come first.

7. BEFORE YOUR PIERCING
