"â–  Jewelry and body piercings: You do not need to remove jewelry and
body piercings when using an AED. Leaving them on the victim does no
harm. However, do not place the AED pads directly over metallic jewelry
or body piercings. Adjust AED pad placement if necessary"

Plus wouldnt you rather be alive with a mild burn then gone into cardiac arrest due to the delay in removing the jewelry.

You just got your tongue piercing and you think that the jewelry will infected should you take it out?

If you got the piercing done at a professional body piercing studio there is no reason to remove it and removing it after just getting the piercing done would be the number one worst move to make. You should (if you choose to remove the jewellery) wait at least 24 ~ 48 hours after the piercing has been done, this way you wont bleed to badly. Now if the piercing was done by a hack and not at a professional studio, then I would consider getting a tetnus shot from the doctor and remove the jewellery in 24 ~ 48 hours.

How do you Permanently remove an Ear Piercing?

Simply remove your jewelry and leave the piercing empty. There is no guarantee that it will fully close, but as long as you are at a "regular" (18-20 gauge, standard post type earring size) or smaller gauge (4-16 gauge) it should shrink enough to go unnoticed.


Do you remove your nose piercing while cleaning it?

No. Especially not while its new. Removing and reinserting the jewelry will not only hurt, but irritate the piercing. After its healed, just do whatever you'd like!


Can you change your tongue ring in 3 days?

If you are talking about a new piercing the answer would be no. You need to wait for the swelling to settle down (about 14 days) before changing the jewellery in a new tongue piercing. Then you should see your professional body piercer to have then change it for you to ensure the piercing is healing without complications.


Can you remove your tongue piercing before six weeks?

Usually a tongue piercing only needs about a month for the fistula to be formed enough to change jewelry. although, if it still feels sore or seems raw, I would wait longer. Also, if you want to remove it to hide it, I would definitely wait longer than six weeks.
