When Can I Re Pierce? - Body Piercing Basics EP103

In the 103rd episode in our Youtube series Body Piercing Basics, DaVo answers the question, When Can I Re-Pierce?

Show Notes:

What happens when you abandon a piercing

Normal abandoned piercings:

• Full formed piercing

• • tunnel

  • indention scars

• Unhealed Piercings

• • Small circular wound

  • should look like a healing wound and should be monitored and treated

• rejection and migration:

• • Can look like the tissue is splitting

  • the wound may be larger

  • increased scarring

  • maybe just like a healthy piercing

• Damaged PIercings

• • Usually larger wound, more like a cut than a puncture

  • Should be treated as a cut and often requires covering

• Infections:

• • The Piercing Doesn’t Need to be Abandoned to heal the infection

  • Jewelry should only be removed if you are under treatment.

• • Should heal like an unhealed piercing depending on how far you are into the healing

• Bumps:

• • Bumps should fade if they don’t seek medical attention

  • scarring should be like an unhealed piercing

What should you do while it closes

• Healed

• • If there is no bleeding or damage, there is nothing you need to do

• Unhealed or damaged

• • Treat it like any other wound

What it depends on:

• Was the Piercing Healthy

• Was the Piercing Rejecting, Migrating, and/or Damaged

• Was there bumps or scarring

• Was there an infections

What should you look for:

• The area should look healthy and healed

• With rejection, migration, and damage - the tissue between the surface and the piercing has thickened

• Bumps - when they have completely gone away

• Infections - when there are no signs of infection
