The Tea: Answering Your Piercing Questions, Vol. 2
Hey Body Candy Fam!
Welcome to my weekly e-zine, The Tea! Coming at you STEAMIN' HOT every Thursday.
I have been getting SO many Dear Alley submissions (our Saturday email series) - so much that I decided to answer a bunch of extra fun ones for The Tea today.
If you have a question, don't be shy! Send it over to DearAlley@bodycandy.com and I'll see what I can do :).
Today's questions:
- Dear Alley... I have top and bottom belly button rings - I switched to bioplast and now I see dried blood on the jewelry - how do I clean them safely?
- Hey Alley! I'm interested in getting my nipples pierced but I've heard they never heal... What do you think about nipple piercings?
- Dear Alley... The dermal in my face got ripped out and I can't find anyone who can re-do it correctly - what should I do?
- Dear Alley... Can the shape of my ear affect whether or not can I get an industrial piercing?
- Plus lots more pierced and modified tips, tricks, and Alley-isms :)

We're all waiting for everything to open up again... I know I can't be the only one over here planning out my new mods when it's safe to do so again! I'm not sure if I'm going to go out and get them done, but just like one of our questions above, one of the most popular mods is just that, nipple piercings. So we asked five, trusted Body Candy Babes what it was like to go out and get their nipples pierced. You can check out what they had to say in this weeks' blog, "What Does It Feel Like To Get Your Nipples Pierced?" Obviously any piercing is going to sting a little... But with such a sensitive area like the nipple, it can be quite intimidating to think about a piercing needle being pushed through. Hopefully our Body Candy crew gave you a better idea of what to expect if you're planning on taking the plunge sometime soon.
Let's talk a little bit about JEWELRY bbs. I'd like to point out one of our most popular collections - matte body jewelry. I don't know what it is, but we just can't seem to keep this matte stuff in stock. Okay, I do know what it is... Whether it be your nails, your vehicle, your makeup, or your jewelry, there's really no substitute for a classy, matte finish. Even if I'm just chilling in my living room, sometimes I need to feel just a little more snazzy or classy... So I head to my jewelry box and grab a matte piece. I don't know who else is looking forward to the summer, but your girl Alley sure is! There's nothing more summery than being a quasi-mermaid, so I've also included our mermaid life collection above. A myriad of under-the-sea themed stuff for all the BC babes searching for that beachy look. Yup, and you guessed it, I am still rocking that AMAZING Christopher David Vitamin C serum in my day-to-day skin care regimen. Self-care is more important now than ever, so treat your dry skin to something nourishing and luxurious.
I'd love to do more of these question and answer videos again! If you think of a question or comment you want to pass along, shoot it over to DearAlley@bodycandy.com! If I get enough questions, I will supplement my weekend Dear Alley segments with some of these fun Tea versions. I kind of like answering these questions in stream-of-consciousness videos... So if your question is interesting, fun, cute, or informative, I bet you'll get your own Alley advice! Dear Alley is just one of our various e-mail and blog segments that we keep up weekly on the Body Jewelry Blog. If you like The Tea, Dear Alley, and our Facebook LIVE series, come back every week!
Last but not least - we're bringing back Facebook LIVE tomorrow! In April we introduced two amazing new Monthly Club Subscriptions - the Vitamin C Serum club and the tongue ring club! I'm excited to show off our May selections tomorrow during our live sesh! ICYMI, The Body Candy Monthly Club is a group of amazing pierced & modified folks who love showing off their stunning body mods. Every month, we send you a brand new set of body jewelry collectables to keep you looking fresh and fab. We hand pack each and every one in a cute little bag, too! We've got something for just about everyone... cartilage jewelery, nipple jewelry, belly rings, nostril jewelry, tongue rings, septum jewelry, industrial bars, labret studs, vitamin c... and even t-shirts!
Love,
- Alley
