What to Know Before Your First Piercing
7 Things I Wish Someone Told Me Before My First Piercing

Any piercing will need several months (at least) to heal completely. Think ahead if there will be any obligations or events that will require you to take out the piercing before it's fully healed. Instances that may complicate new piercings are participating on a sports team, swimming in a pool, freshwater, or an ocean, going into surgery, or certain jobs. Though taking out an earring or piercing before it's completely healed is not an irreconcilable act, the hole can close up if not replaced with jewellery quickly.
