Piercings by Jessicat

Piercings just don’t heal on me.”

“I would love to get my ears curated but I can’t heal cartilage piercings.”

“They always reject.”

I hear these things all the time!!! And I always say to people PLEAAASE don’t let a few bad experiences put you off getting pierced!

There are SOOOOO many reasons a piercing might struggle to heal:

• The angle it was pierced at
• The placement itself
• The jewellery quality or fit
• The aftercare advice you were given
• Whether the jewellery was ever downsized
• Trauma from sleeping on it, catching it, or knocking it with a hairbrush etc etc

There are soooo many reasons why your piercing/multiple piercings you’ve had might not have healed

Did it not ‘heal’ because you only waited 8 weeks 😏

The truth is, not every piercing is performed with the same level of skill, experience, or attention to detail! And some piercers don’t have the experience to be able to troubleshoot an angry piercing! I’ve been piercing for 11 years- I seen some shiiiiiiiit *inhales cigarette* (imaginary I don’t smoke lols)

That doesn’t automatically make someone a bad piercer! (Although there’s a lot out there) But it does mean you might not have been set up for the smoothest healing journey possible!

And on the flip side, you can have a beautifully pierced ear with perfect jewellery and still experience bumps along the way. I’ve pierced some BANGING piercings before and they’ve still had problems!

Stress, Illness, Hormonal changes, mental UK weather changes, accidental knocks from your loving but careless boyfriend. Life happens!

So if you’ve had a couple of difficult experiences in the past, don’t write yourself off as someone who “can’t heal piercings.”

You might just need the right placement, the right jewellery, and a piercer who knows how to troubleshoot when things get a little grumpyyyyy!
