Q: Super impatient girly here lol! What are some piercings that heal the fastest? -Samantha

A: If you’re chasing the fastest-healing piercings, you’ve really got two top picks. First up: earlobes. They’re basically just little squishy bits of skin, no cartilage, so they bounce back quick... like 4 months quick. And don’t think you’re limited just because you already have them pierced once. Go for a whole row, or stack them vertically for that super on-trend, layered vibe.

The second option (and this one surprises a lot of people): your tongue. Yup, your tongue heals crazy fast—like fully done in about 3 months. Plus, tons of people say it’s not nearly as painful as they expected. Major win!

Your septum also heals on the quicker side, but not quite as fast as lobes or tongue. So if you want speed and style, lobes and tongue piercings are your best bet.

Happy piercing! ✨

Q: What’s the difference between internally threaded and externally threaded jewelry? - Jenna L

A: Okay, so here’s the tea on threaded jewelry. It’s all about where the threading is.

👉 Internally threaded: The post (aka the barbell) is smooth, and the removable end has a little piece that screws into it. This is usually the comfier, higher-quality option since it doesn’t irritate while going through your piercing.

👉 Externally threaded: The post has the threading on the outside, and the removable end has a hole it screws into. This one’s more old-school and not as gentle on healing piercings when inserting. Should be fine for healed piercings though.

👉 Threadless jewelry: Totally different vibe. The end has a little bendy pin that pops into a hollow post and stays put with pressure. Super easy to change and super secure.
