Could early jewelry changes be harmful?
👉 Infection Risk
A fresh piercing is an open wound. Early jewelry changes can introduce bacteria and lead to infection.
👉 Delayed Healing
Removing or moving jewelry damages fragile healing tissue and can significantly slow healing.
👉 Starter Jewelry Matters
Initial jewelry is longer to allow for swelling. Changing too soon can cause embedding or emergency removal.
👉 Wrong Size or Style
Switching gauge or jewelry shape early can tear healing tissue and set you back.
👉 Risk of Closure
New piercings can close within minutes once jewelry is removed—forcing it back in can cause injury.
👉 How to Know It’s Ready
No redness, discharge, or soreness, and the jewelry moves easily. When in doubt, see your piercer.
👉 Pro Tip
Start with high-quality jewelry like titanium or 14k gold—and consider threadless for easy future swaps
