Most irritation bumps I see?

Started with a hoop too soon.

Healing first. Style second.

The hoop will look better when the piercing is healthy and stable.

Proper downsizing timing is what makes nesting healthy instead of problematic.

This is why follow-up appointments matter.

A small indentation behind a lip or tongue piercing?

Usually normal.

Jewelry disappearing into tissue?

Not normal.

Piercings aren’t “dirty wounds.”

They’re controlled punctures that need stability and proper moisture balance.

If it burns, it’s probably not helping.

Healing tissue needs gentle care, not chemical punishment.

[IPRICKU @ipricku]

Most piercings take months to fully heal.

Not weeks.

If you’re treating it like a short-term wound, you’re going to struggle.

Over-cleaning irritates piercings.

Twisting jewelry irritates piercings.

Using alcohol irritates piercings.

Saline. Patience. Leave it alone.

The piercing industry isn’t regulated in most states.

That makes mentorship, ethics, and proper training even more important.

You’re altering someone’s body.

That deserves more than a crash course.

You don’t need numbing cream for a properly performed piercing.

You need preparation, clear communication, and a calm environment.

[IPRICKU @ipricku]

If someone offers injectable numbing for a piercing and they’re not a licensed medical professional?

That’s a red flag.

One of the biggest fears before surgery:

“What if my piercing closes?”

There’s a right way to handle it.

[IPRICKU @ipricku]

If you’re having surgery and have fresh piercings, plan ahead.

Swapping to a retainer a day or so before your procedure can prevent stress, irritation, and last-minute panic.

I broke down what to expect and how to prepare so you don’t lose your piercing 👇

[IPRICKU @ipricku]

Do you have to take your piercings out for surgery?

[IPRICKU @ipricku]

If you have a healing piercing, don’t panic.
In some cases, non-metallic glass retainers are allowed.
But you must confirm with your surgical team first.

[IPRICKU @ipricku]

MRI machines use extremely strong magnets.

Not all “surgical steel” is created equal.

Know what you’re wearing before your scan.

This client originally came in wanting an industrial piercing, but their anatomy wasn't suited for it. Instead, we worked together to design this custom project using multiple piercings to create a similar visual flow.
