The Tea: Answering Your Piercing Questions, Vol. 3
Hey Body Candy Fam!
Hey Body Candy Fam!
Welcome to my weekly Thursday e-zine, The Tea!
Time for another edition of Answering Your Piercing Questions! This feature is so fun - if you have questions, keep sending them in! I love answering them on video. :)
Email your questions to me at DearAlley@bodycandy.com and I'll see what I can do :).
Today's questions:
- Dear Alley... I just got a belly ring and its a little off-center - is it swollen or will it be crooked forever?
- My piercing just won't heal... Can I put tea tree oil on it?
- Hey Alley! My cartilage SUCKS... They all reject, get infected, or get a keloid... help!
- I'm a 35 year old mom and my coworker is body shaming me for my piercings and tattoos... What should I do?
- Plus lots more in-depth analysis from yours truly!
More content below! ♡
Lots of people have piercing sensitivities - whether it's nickel or some other material you can't quite stick into one of your piercings, it can be tough to find something that feels comfortable and looks cool. One such substitute for metals is called Bioplast - it's a medical material that is inert, flexible, and comes in a ton of different colors. You can even wear it as a pregnancy belly ring to keep your navel piercing open while your baby bump is growing! Check out all the details on this week's blog, "Understanding Bioplast & Piercing Retainers."
Get it while it's hot! Sometimes, you just gotta feel like a fierce and fashionable babe, and the finish of your body jewelry has a lot to do with that. One of my favorite ways to dress up my look is using matte body jewelry. There's a time for neon colors and fun charms, but there's also time to stay sophisticated... We just can't seem to keep this collection on the shelf. Another fun collection we've got going is our mermaid life jewelry. Shimmering scales, beautiful mermaids, fish, crabs... Even cat-mermaids - we've got it all! Speaking of things flying off the shelves, our Christopher David Vitamin C serum has been a huge hit! Self-care is ALWAYS important - be sure to treat your skin to something nice and nourishing. Your future self will thank you!
I definitely want to do more question/answer videos for all the Body Candy fans... So if a question/comment/compliment comes up and you want a second opinion or some helpful advice, write it up and shoot it over to DearAlley@bodycandy.com! I might answer them for The Tea, or you might end up featured on our Dear Alley segment on Saturdays. We work hard to bring you fun and informative content like Dear Alley and The Tea, updated weekly! We'll see you back next week :).
Finally, always gotta shout out our Monthly Club Subscriptions. Our Body Candy Monthly Clubs are a group of BC babes who are all about their body mods. If you want in, every month, we'll ship a set of cute and wonderful body jewelry keepsakes that will keep your mods looking magnificent. Join the club - we hand pick and hand pack each and every one of our club members' subscriptions in a little Body Candy bag, too! There's something for just about everybody... cartilage jewelery, nipple jewelry, belly rings, nostril jewelry, tongue rings, septum jewelry, industrial bars, labret studs, vitamin c... and even t-shirts!
Love,
- Alley
