How long does it take for an ear piercing not to close up completely?
It can vary from person to person, but generally, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months for an ear piercing to fully close up. Keeping an earring in the piercing regularly can help prevent it from closing up quickly.
How long does it take to get to a gauge 10 earlobe piercing?
It can take several months to a year for an earlobe piercing to reach gauge 10, depending on the healing process and individual's body. It is important to stretch the piercing slowly and safely to minimize the risk of damage or infection.
How is back dimple piercing done?
Back dimple piercings, also known as Venus piercings, are placed on either side of the lower back where the back dimples are. The piercing procedure involves marking the spots, cleaning the area, then using a needle to create a hole for the jewelry. It is important to go to a professional piercer who has experience with surface piercings to reduce the risk of complications.
How long does it take for the swelling to go down on a dimple piercing?
For the basic oral piercings, ie. lip piercing, monroe, labret etc etc; the swelling begins to go down after a few days. Since the cartilage for a dimple piercing is much thicker than that of a lip piercing, the swelling will take a little bit longer to go down. Usually 3-10 days before the swelling begins to go down, depending on how much you play with the jewelery, irritate the piercing, and even how you clean it can all alter the amount of time your piercing is swollen for!
How long does it take for gauges to close after taking them out?
It can take a few weeks to months for gauges to close up completely after removing them, depending on the size of the jewelry and how long the gauges were worn. Massaging the earlobes with oil can help promote faster healing and closure.
