Bad piercings for beginners

👉 Cartilage Piercings

Super common first choice—but not the best for beginners. Cartilage heals slowly (6–12 months) because of limited blood flow and can be pretty painful. If you’re new, start with something easier before tackling this one.

👉 Nasal Bridge

Looks amazing, but definitely not beginner-friendly. It’s a surface piercing, slow and painful to perform, with a high risk of rejection. Plus, it’s easy to snag—especially if you’re not used to facial piercings.

👉 Dermals

High snag risk and almost guaranteed to reject over time. These require experience to recognize early rejection signs and avoid scarring. Cool look, but best left for later once you’ve got some healing experience.

👉 Belly Rings

Super popular but anatomy-dependent and prone to rejection. A bad piercer or the wrong placement can spell trouble fast. Get familiar with healing and aftercare before you commit to this one.

👉 Final Thoughts

If you’re new to piercings, start simple. Learn how your body heals, how to care for jewelry, and what to avoid touching. Once you’ve mastered that, you’ll be ready for the more advanced piercings on your wishlist.
