Q: Can you pierce over scar tissue from an old piercing? I have a belly ring that I want to get done. - Sarah S

A: It really depends on how thick your scar tissue is and exactly where it’s located. Every body heals differently, so there’s no one-size-fits-all answer here. Most professional piercers will try to find a spot slightly off from the scar tissue to avoid piercing directly through it but if the scarring isn’t too bad, they might be able to go through it safely.

This is also why it’s super important to take out a piercing that’s starting to reject early on. The longer you wait, the more scarring you’ll end up with, and that can make it harder to get re-pierced later.

Your best move is to visit a trusted, experienced piercer and let them check it out in person. They can tell you whether re-piercing is an option or if there’s another version of a belly piercing that might work better for your anatomy. Either way, there’s usually a creative workaround, you just need the right piercer to make it happen!

Q: Do people wear nipple rings just for themselves or for their S.O.? If you know what I mean.  - Kai S

A: Piercings are super personal everyone has their own reason for getting them, and there’s no right or wrong one. Some people get nipple piercings because their partner thinks they’re hot, while others do it 100% for themselves just because they want to and love the look!

At the end of the day, it’s your body, your choice, and your vibe. Piercings like nipples or genitals might seem more “intense,” but honestly, they’re not that different from getting a septum or helix piercing. It’s all about self-expression and feeling confident in your own skin.

Whether you’re doing it for style, empowerment, or just because you think it’s cute — go for what makes you feel good. 💖 Happy piercing!
