Whether you want to get a piercing with a new friend or get pierced just so that you can say, \u201cI got my nostril piercing in Vietnam,\u201d you might find yourself longing for a piercing while on the road.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Just like at home, you need to make sure that you find a reputable piercer and are taking care of your new piercing. However, since you will be traveling, there are additional things that you need to consider in order to keep your new piercing healthy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Here\u2019s what you need to know about getting pierced on the road.<\/p>\r\n<div id=\"attachment_22560\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22560\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Person-on-a-bus-looking-out-the-window.jpg\" alt=\"Person on a bus looking out the window\" width=\"1000\" height=\"837\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Person-on-a-bus-looking-out-the-window.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Person-on-a-bus-looking-out-the-window-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Person-on-a-bus-looking-out-the-window-768x643.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Person-on-a-bus-looking-out-the-window-600x502.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-22560\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@miloweiler?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Milo Weiler<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/piercing?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do your research for a reputable piercer<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Just because you\u2019re in a new place doesn\u2019t mean that the piercing studio should be any less hygienic than your piercing studio back home. Make sure that you take a look at past work they\u2019ve done, check reviews, and that everything looks and smells clean. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/getting-pierced-how-to-find-a-good-piercer\/\">You can find more information on how to find a reputable piercer here.<\/a>)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The good news is that the Association of Piercing Professionals has members all over the world. When in doubt, try to find a place that has APP members on staff.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make sure that you continue to clean your jewelry every day<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When you\u2019re traveling, it\u2019s easy to forego even some of the most basic hygiene habits, especially if you\u2019re hopping from place to place. However, while you might be able to get away with wearing the same t-shirt two days in a row, you can\u2019t get away with skipping your aftercare practices.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You should clean your piercing with a saline spray 2 &#8211; 3 times per day. An easy way to remember is to clean your jewelry every time you have a meal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It might seem tedious, but with NeilMed\u2019s fine mist aftercare spray, all you have to do is spray a cotton swab and gently wipe the front and back of your new piercing. Then, pat it dry with sterile gauze or clean paper towels. That\u2019s it! Bonus: we also have a travel size that you can easily slip into your purse or carry on. We\u2019re also found in locations all over the world, so you have the possibility of picking some up in multiple locations.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.neilmedpac.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">You can also buy NeilMed piercing aftercare here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watch out for the linens in your accommodation<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Linen cleanliness can be an issue even in the nicest of hotels. Often, they don\u2019t have tons of time to clean the linens thoroughly, and they wash sheets and towels in bulk. Whether you\u2019re staying in a hostel or hotel, do your new piercing a favor, and don\u2019t trust the linens.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Instead, take a clean t-shirt to cover your pillow when you sleep if you have a new facial or ear piercing. You should do your best not to sleep on the piercing, but sometimes it can\u2019t be helped. Your clean t-shirt keeps your piercing safe from any bacteria on the hotel pillow.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>After you shower, don\u2019t use the towel to dry your piercing. Instead, find a clean paper towel to gently dab your piercing dry.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No swimming or hot tubs with a new piercing<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Vacations are the time to sit by the pool or enjoy a soak in a hot tub and forget about your troubles back home. If you decide to get a new piercing while you travel, then you\u2019re giving up this aspect of your vacation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It might be a good idea, then, to wait until the end of your travels to get a new piercing. You don\u2019t want a brand-new belly ring to keep you away from the beach. Make sure that you keep your activities in mind when you get your piercing so that you don\u2019t inadvertently ruin your vacation.<\/p>\r\n<div id=\"attachment_22562\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22562\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Woman-with-multiple-nose-piercings-at-the-beach.jpg\" alt=\"Woman with multiple nose piercings at the beach\" width=\"1000\" height=\"892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Woman-with-multiple-nose-piercings-at-the-beach.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Woman-with-multiple-nose-piercings-at-the-beach-300x268.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Woman-with-multiple-nose-piercings-at-the-beach-768x685.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Woman-with-multiple-nose-piercings-at-the-beach-600x535.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-22562\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@xtrovarts?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Shedrack Salami<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/piercing?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be mindful when you fly or travel by train or bus<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Germs abound in commercial travel. Even in plane travel, the staff doesn\u2019t always have time to fully sanitize the seating area, leading to the spread of germs that can be harmful to your piercing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Bring hand wipes to sanitize your area before you sit down. If you choose to go to sleep, make sure that you\u2019re using your own pillow covered in a clean shirt or pillowcase. If your travel takes all day, make sure that you continue to clean your piercing when appropriate, and don\u2019t touch your piercing with unclean hands.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>(Psst\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/product\/neilmed-neilcleanse-piercing-aftercare-fine-mist-75-ml\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NeilMed\u2019s Travel Size Piercing Aftercare<\/a> is small enough to bring in your carry-on.)<\/p>\r\n<h2>Do piercings set off airport security metal detectors?<\/h2>\r\n<p>Short answer: probably not.<\/p>\r\n<p>Quality piercing jewelry is made of materials that are unlikely to be picked up by the metal detectors used by security. Furthermore, they&#8217;re often small enough that they don&#8217;t raise an alarm. It&#8217;s similar to wearing an underwire bra or jeans with a zipper. Even heavily pierced people often walk through security without an issue.<\/p>\r\n<p>However, it is possible that metal detectors might pick up your jewelry, and in this case, you need to know your rights. If you have a piercing in a sensitive area, like the nipples, you&#8217;re entitled to a private screening by security personnel of the gender of your choice. In the U.S., <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tsa.gov\/news\/press\/releases\/2022\/03\/31\/tsa-announces-measures-implement-gender-neutral-screening-its\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TSA has recently developed measures to safely and comfortably accommodate gender-neutral, non-binary, and trans passengers who require special screening as well<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>If you must take out your jewelry during this process, you should be the one to do it, not the security personnel. This is both for the safety of your piercing and out of respect for yourself. If you&#8217;re concerned, wear jewelry that you can easily remove by yourself, or switch out your metal body jewelry for non-metal options, like acrylic, as you travel.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It\u2019s more than possible to get a piercing while traveling, but you need to remain vigilant while you\u2019re on vacation to make sure that your new piercing stays clean. If you can&#8217;t adhere to aftercare practices or keep your new piercing away from unclean surfaces, then wait until you come home.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When traveling, there are additional things that you need to consider when you have a new piercing.
