The wolf says: just because jewelry goes in doesn’t mean it belongs there. 🐺✨
A lot goes into whether a piercing heals well, but two of the biggest factors are proper jewelry and proper placement.
If the angle is off, the jewelry is wrong for the piercing, or the placement doesn’t actually work with the anatomy, healing can become way harder than it needs to be. That can lead to irritation, bumps, migration, rejection, and scarring. Which is super lame, because the goal is sparkles, not suffering. ✨🙃
I even have scars of my own from piercings done with improper jewelry in my early 20s, so this is something I care a lot about.
Common examples? Curved barbells in ni***es, bridges, and surface piercings are very commonly done wrong. Jewelry that puts pressure on the tissue gives your body a reason to get mad and start trying to push that foreign object out. 😒
And yes, this applies to jewelry that’s too tight too. That super cute snug hoop may look adorable, but it can leave a piercing stuck in the world’s most annoying phase: not fresh, not healed, just perpetually pi**ed off. 🙃
A piercing should work with your anatomy, not against it. That’s why your piercer cares about style, gauge, length, placement, and whether the anatomy is even suitable in the first place.
The goal is simple: help you get the pretty, sparkly thing with the best chance at a smooth heal, not a scar and a bad time. ✨🐰
