Body Jewelry Insertion Tips

 Printer-friendly Version

In this article you will find tips on how to insert and remove your body jewelry.

* Please note: These illustrations are not to scale and are for informational purposes only. © Copyright 2002 Tribalectic, Inc.

  1. Wash both your hands and the piercing with antibacterial soap (3-5 minutes).
  2. Pinch the skin adjacent to the piercing and insert one end of the body jewelry into one hole of the piercing (Illustration 1a &1b).
  3. While inserting the body jewelry, massage the opposite hole with a finger from the hand that was originally pinching (Illustration 2a &2b).
  4. Continue inserting and massaging until you feel the body jewelry exiting the piercing.
  5. Stop massaging and gently finish inserting the body jewelry.
  6. Either screw on or clip in your accessory (Illustration 3a & 3b).
  7. If you have a captive accessory, place one groove on one side of the ring and push the accessory toward the ring while pushing the ring toward the accessory (Illustration 3a).
  8. Once your accessory is screwed on or snapped in, clean your body jewelry one more time to reduce chances for infection.

* Remember, your body is sensitive! So please be gentle during the entire procedure.

** A hot shower or hot compress will help soften your skin before cleaning and inserting body jewelry.

Will my piercings close up if I have to take them out for 24 to 48 hours? I have 4 and 12 gauge in my ears and 12 in my nipples. The ear piercings are over 1 year old and nipples the same.

Thanks Raymond Jawdropping! Jawdropping!

your ears definatly wont, but they may be a little snug if you go to put the earrings back in. i dont know about the nipple, it may try to, they close up pretty fast, get a taper and you probably wont have a problem, but im not an expert, so dont hold me to it! lol

Don't use antibacterial ointments. They are difficult to clean out of a piercing and may trap bacteria once the antibacterial action wears off.

Diamonds are a woman's best friend. A diamond has the lustrous shine that attracts everyone towards it. The shine and glow of this gemstone can be retained forever with appropriate precautions and care. It is the hardest stone, with a hardness of 10 on the Moh's scale. Even then it is possible for a diamond to get chipped, scratched or damaged in a piece of jewelry.

Are you still stuck to the traditional ideas of adorning yourself? Shun them before being labeled archaic and old fashioned. And, if your perception of body jewelry is that it is only worn by someone a little “different”, that perception is absolutely false. Body jewelry has slowly evolved as a fashion statement everyone wishes to flaunt.

Acne is mainly caused due to overproduction of sebum in sebaceous glands of the body. Diet containing much oil must be avoided to prevent from acne. Balanced nutritious diet should be taken.

Stretching your sharp after a hot shower with the use of oil will make the process easier as your skin will make softer up in the warm and wetness.
