- Wash both your hands and the piercing with antibacterial soap (3-5 minutes).
- Pinch the skin adjacent to the piercing and insert one end of the body jewelry into one hole of the piercing (Illustration 1a &1b).
- While inserting the body jewelry, massage the opposite hole with a finger from the hand that was originally pinching (Illustration 2a &2b).
- Continue inserting and massaging until you feel the body jewelry exiting the piercing.
- Stop massaging and gently finish inserting the body jewelry.
- Either screw on or clip in your accessory (Illustration 3a & 3b).
- 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).
- 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
Posted on January 6, 2009, 10:33 amWill 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

your ears definatly wont,
Posted on April 3, 2009, 10:45 amyour 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

I read this when I first was pierced and found it a good example to look at when I was thinking about jewelry changes for myself.

Posted on February 22, 2010, 5:30 amI took my Lorum Bar out to put a thinner ring in, it was only in for 12 hours and it had started to close up....was definately a puh and some pain.
I don't recommend taking out any piercing until it has fully healed.

Definitely a bad idea. I
Posted on February 22, 2010, 3:32 pmDefinitely a bad idea. I had issues with my (L) nipple when I got a microbead from showerwash in there, took the barbell out for a nice SSS & ooohhh thought it wouldn't go back in. Not good.

As much as I like body
Posted on April 12, 2010, 4:38 pmAs much as I like body jewelry I haven't found the courage to try it yet, I could never do it myself. I have a fetish though for edited to remove spam native American jewelry, that's what pushed me into the idea of body jewelry. Any tips for a beginner?

Posted on August 16, 2010, 10:17 amI have a nasal curly stud. i find that if you place a finger in your nose and press against the skin whilst pushing the jewellery in. I take a deep breath and push in on the exhale, occasionally wiggling the stud.
