Have you fallen for these piercing myths? (part 2)
MYTH #1: Piercings heal in a few weeks.
FACT: Healing takes time. Lobes might be 6 weeks, but cartilage takes months. Navels, nipples, snugs = up to a year. Dimples = longer. Be patient.
MYTH #2: Titanium = surgical steel.
FACT: Not the same. Implant-grade titanium (ASTM F-136) is safest. Steel can have nickel + is heavier. Never get pierced with coated “black titanium.”
MYTH #3: Threading doesn’t matter.
FACT: It does when you go to get your initial piercing. Internally threaded = safe for new piercings. Externally threaded = slows healing, better for healed piercings. Threadless = also safe.
MYTH #4: Clean with peroxide or alcohol.
FACT: Wrong. Both are too harsh + damage healing. Use sterile saline aftercare spray only.
