Wait until the wound is completely healed before immersing in water such as pools, lakes, oceans, and streams. All healing times are aproximate as every body heals differently, but the minimum healing time on ear lobes is usually 6 weeks, on cartilage 3 months. The reason for this is to keep bacteria from getting into the wound while it is still healing to help prevent infection.
Ahhh Yes you can.
2-3 months
Yes, it is safe to swim in the ocean with a belly button ring as long as it isnt infected or has just recently been pierced.
I would suggest that you wait until the end of your swim season and do it the day that season ends. I swim and got mine done in the beginning of my season, for the rest of it I could not wear my cap over that ear.
Yes everyone does it
Sure you can. Ear piercings only go bad, if you don't look after them. Make sure you clean it with either antiseptic or warm salt water twice a day, and with clean hands twist the stud around throughout the day. Trust me on this one, I have my ears pierced twice on the lobe and three times on the cartilage (at the top and middle of my right & the bottom bit of cartilage on the left) and I swim 3 times a week for a club. Happy Swimming :)
If you could swim before you got your naval pierced then you will still be able to swim afterwards, unless it is so huge that its weight drags your to the bottom. If you have just had your naval pierced it is probably a good idea to avoid swimming until the piercing has completely healed, to avoid any risk of infection. Once it has healed swimming shouldn't be a problem.
well, i did the day i got mine pierced.
Yes, you can swim in a river if you have your belly button pierced. However, if it is a new piercing, the general advice is to wait at least a month before swimming as the wound needs time to heal.
yes it is safe
yes it is safe
Yes, so long as the piercings have healed properly.
