Piercing Guide

Healing Period

Every piercing heals at its own pace. Healing time depends on the piercing placement, your body's natural healing process, and how well you follow the recommended aftercare routine. While the outside of a piercing may look healed, the inside can still be healing, so continue proper aftercare until your piercer confirms it is fully healed.
