Schools typically have policies against piercings for reasons related to safety and hygiene. Piercings may pose a risk of injury during physical activities, can be a distraction in the learning environment, and may potentially lead to infections if not properly cared for. Regulations are in place to maintain a safe and conducive educational setting.
It is not recommended to remove an earring only three weeks after getting your ear pierced, as this can lead to complications like infection, closure of the piercing hole, or improper healing. It is best to wait at least 6-8 weeks or as advised by your piercer before changing or removing the earring. If you are concerned about wearing earrings for school, you may be able to find alternatives such as clear or skin-tone studs that are less noticeable.
No, but you need to have something to work with to lay the piercing out correctly.
Inserting two earrings in one piercing can cause irritation, discomfort, and increase the risk of infection. The extra weight can also stretch the piercing hole, leading to potential tearing or scarring. It's generally recommended to only wear one earring per piercing to prevent these issues.
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!
The removable ball on a piercing bar is typically on one end of the barbell. It can be unscrewed to allow for easy insertion or removal of the barbell from the piercing.
