A big part of body piercing is understanding how the body heals itself and learning ways to work with your body\u2019s natural healing process so that your piercing can be healthy. While proper piercing techniques have a huge role to play when it comes to your body\u2019s acceptance of your piercing, the shape and size of the jewelry that you choose to wear are also important.<\/p>\r\n<p>For example, a common mistake among those who have body piercings is to wear thinner lobe earrings in a piercing like their navel or eyebrow. However, this mistake could lead to jewelry rejection. Because the bar that goes through the piercing is so small, the body registers it as a splinter rather than a piece of jewelry, and it will start to try and push the jewelry out. This can happen even if your navel or eyebrow piercing has been healed for years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You need to make sure that the jewelry you wear is the proper gauge for your piercing. This usually means that you should choose jewelry that\u2019s the same gauge as the needle with which you were pierced. Have a conversation with your piercer about suitable gauge sizes for your piercing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Healing piercings are limited to certain jewelry styles<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you\u2019re getting a piercing that can sport multiple styles when it\u2019s healed, there are likely only one or two styles suitable for healing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, a healed septum can wear various hoop styles (like seamless rings and elaborate clickers) and circular barbells. When you get your septum pierced, however, your piercer will likely give you the choice between a captive bead ring or a circular barbell. These ring choices can be more easily inserted into the new piercing, they\u2019re not as heavy as more elaborate jewelry, and they provide enough room for swelling.<\/p>\r\n<p>The good news is that your piercer (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/getting-pierced-how-to-find-a-good-piercer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">if they\u2019re reputable<\/a>) will already know the proper jewelry styles for your new piercing, and they\u2019ll provide you with safe initial jewelry options. Your job will be to remain patient through the healing period and refrain from changing to other jewelry styles until after the piercing has healed.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.neilmedpac.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Are you currently healing a new piercing?

The thing is that even piercings that have been healed for years can see complications like piercing bumps if they\u2019re introduced to ill-fitting jewelry.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Firstly, you need to make sure that the jewelry is the right size. For example, if you purchase a seamless ring, and the jewelry starts to pull against the piercing holes, you\u2019re likely to see some trauma.<\/p>\r\n<p>Secondly, the jewelry has to be the correct shape. This will depend upon the piercing that you get and your anatomy. Some jewelry types may press against the piercing in awkward ways, causing some issues. There are even some piercings that require you to choose what type of jewelry you\u2019ll eventually want to wear in the piercing so that you can be pierced at an angle that will accommodate the jewelry.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When in doubt, seek the advice of a piercer before you try out a jewelry style. It\u2019s frustrating when you\u2019ve spent so much time on healing only to experience complications in your healed piercing because you\u2019ve chosen the wrong style of jewelry.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You need to take care when changing your jewelry<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A quick way to irritate your piercing is to mess around with your jewelry.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Changing jewelry isn\u2019t always an intuitive task. If your piercing has a longer piercing tunnel or it\u2019s in a hard-to-reach location, you may find that you have a difficult time changing the jewelry on your own.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If this is the case, it\u2019s a good idea to visit your piercer. They\u2019ll be able to teach you some tricks to changing your jewelry. If your piercing is particularly difficult, they\u2019ll also have the tools and expertise to change it for you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While many learn how to change their jewelry themselves, some never do, and that\u2019s okay, too. They simply take a trip to the piercer every time they need a jewelry change.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting pierced is a responsibility, and part of that responsibility is understanding the types of jewelry that are healthy to wear. While you need to pay extra attention through the healing period, you still need to make sure that you\u2019re making good choices for your piercing once it has healed. Simply educate yourself about the jewelry styles that you\u2019re allowed to wear as well as the proper sizes, and you\u2019re piercing will be just fine.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are some tips and guidelines for choosing the proper jewelry for your piercing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1141,"featured_media":22640,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[201,220],"tags":[539,540,541,542],"class_list":["post-11593","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-informative","category-piercing-advice","tag-proper-piercing-jewelry","tag-safe-body-jewelry","tag-which-body-jewelry-to-choose","tag-which-piercing-jewelry-to-choose"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Choosing the Proper Jewelry Shape and Style for Your Piercing<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"When your piercing has fully healed, it&#039;s easy to believe that you can put any jewelry you want in it.
