How do you know when your belly button piercing is healed enough to change the ring?

Wait at least 2-3 months. If its ready, there wont be any swelling or tenderness. It may be red if you hit it or something like that. I dont change out any of my piercings until I can poke it and lightly tug on the jewelry without it hurting. If you aren't sure, you can always just have your piercer look at it :)

What does a healed belly button piercing look like?
Well it looks like a navel piercing with a navel gem barbell or a captive bead ring in it.
Can you change your belly ring if you just got the piercing one week before?
No you cannot, at least not just yet. Changing your belly button ring, or for that matter any other kind of body jewelry, just one week after getting a new piercing is a surefire recipe for disaster. In such short a time, there is no way that your piercing would have healed enough to enable you to change your belly ring. And if you do try it, you could very well cause your piercing to close, as at such an initial stage, a piercing can close even if left without jewelry for a few minutes. Although belly button piercings take differing lengths of time for healing in different people, it is safe for all to assume that for at least the first six months, your piercing will not have healed properly. Some people may even take up to a couple of years to have their belly piercing heal fully. But that in no way means that you have to wait for a full 2 years to change your nipple ring. Once the initial healing period has passed (about 6 months) you can proceed to change your belly ring. However, as the piercing in all likelihood will not have healed fully, it is best not to keep it free of belly rings for any length of time.
Can you have a piercing professional change the jewelry before the piercing is fully healed if you are having problems with what you were pierced with?
By all means Yes, that's what we are here for.
How can I close my belly button piercing fast?
No way to speed that up really. Keep it dry and disinfected and out of the sun until it's healed.
Is it safe to change your belly piercing at 6 months?
Yes, you can change your piercing after 6 months, as long as you know your piercing is healed, and it doesn't seem infected. you can safely change the piercing after 6-8 weeks. Just make sure after you change it you sterilize it. Just a tip, when your changing it use water to lubricate it so it slides out easier.
How do you know when your piercing is healed?
It heals quite quickly but i would leave it in and not change it for about a month just to make sure that it doesnt get infected when you change the bar cus the middle of the tongue may niot be completely healed
How do you take your belly piercing out not to change just for p.e at school.?
If healed you should just be able to unscrew and take it out and in. If not healed you will irritate the piercing and end up with a messed up or even infected piercing. Can you not just cover the area with a soft bandage& tape? cover it all to avoid it getting rubbed?
How soon can you change a piercing?
It depends on the location of the piercing. It must be fully healed and then some. They'll usually tell you 6-8 weeks for earrings and at least 2 months for tongue piercings.It depends on the piercing you get :)

I just took out my eyebrow piercing Im planing on repiercing it in 3 weeks due to it not being big enough to fit a 16g Do you think it would be healed to get it done again would it hurt more?
Only being able to see the existing piercing can allow one to say if it would be healed enough to get it repierced in that time period.
Can you change the balls on your belly button piercing if not fully healed?
Ultimately it's better to let the piercing heal before messing around with changing jewellery or balls, the jewellery is designed fornew piercings and is bio-compatible however the balls you may want to change may not be of a bio-compatible material and could just annoy your new piercing for no reason other than to look different. I would suggest a trip down to see your piercer and have them change the balls for you so the piercing is not irritated needlessly.
How do you know when your tweleve year old's cartilage piercing is healed?
If the 12 year old has had the piercing for over a year, chances are good it's healed. If it was done by a piercing gun, then it could still be healing.
