What Does it Feel Like To Get A Dermal Piercing?

What Does it Feel Like To Get A Dermal Piercing?

When you think of a piercing, what do you think of? An earring? A nose piercing? Typically, a piercing is located in a part of your body that a needle can pass through. While this is true for the most part, there is also a special kind of piercing that doesn't pass through your body and is simply anchored into your skin - they're called dermal piercings.

The most notable aspect of a dermal or microdermal piercing is that they are not limited by...

The Flat: What You Need To Know About This Cartilage Piercing

If you're a part of the pierced/modified community, you're probably well aware of the industrial bar, the daith piercing, or a helix earring. Have you ever heard of a flat piercing?

Named for it's location in the ear, a flat piercing is literally positioned in the flat area of cartilage in the upper ear. Whereas the helix or industrial is located in the rim of the ear, a flat earring is located below the rim in what would be considered the flatter portions of the ear anatomy. Combined with...

Today, we have questions from Ty, Valerie, and Blake - we're talking about piercing aftercare with nipple piercings, the aftermath of septum piercings, and getting your nose re-pierced. Check out the list of questions below, and be sure to watch my video for the answers in-full.

Today's Topics:

- "Hello! It’s been just over a year since I got my nipples pierced, and they still aren’t fully healed. I haven’t changed the jewelry since, and I clean them but not as thoroughly as the first 6 months. Should I still be doing the salt soaks? Or does it just take longer to heal?" - Ty

- "Hey! I recently got my septum pierced and I decided to let my hole close up. I let it close up last year in December after having it only for a month. But now there is a mark in my nose where you can tell it was pierced, sorta like a bump. It’s doesn’t hurt and I can barely tell it’s there because it’s so small. Should I go get it checked?" - Valerie

- "I got my nose re pierced in December. So I have had it for a couple months. It was healing fine. Until a month and a half ago I got a bump by it. I clean it with salt water. However it isn't going away. I talked to a professional piercer and she said to scrub the bump with a q-tip to help clean it more. I have been for a week. Still nothing. No change. What else can I do?" - Blake

Dear Alley

Why do my stretched ears smell bad?

Dear Alley
Alley S.
BodyCandy's pierced pro & fashion forward diva

DEAR ALLEY: So I have had my ears stretched and gauged for years! At my biggest stretch I was 5/16! As I have had children now I am down to a 0.

I have no problems with infection or any jewelry being uncomfortable, I have a problem with a smell. I clean my ears and jewelry every morning and every night with antibacterial soap. But there is still a nasty smell. What can I do?

I’m to the point I’m about to just take them out and forget about them and hope they shrink back to normal, although I would really not like to do that. I LOVE them dearly, and they are just 

simply a part of ME. Please help!!

Thank you,
- Heather

ALLEY: Hey Heather,


Stretching your ears to 5/16 is no joke, that's impressive! I also love having stretched ears - I know exactly what you mean when you say they are "simply a part of ME."

Stink. Stank. Funk. Whichever word you choose, that oddly-specific "smell" is...
 

Treating a peircing bump - Why won't it disappear?

DEAR ALLEY: I got my nose re-pierced in December, so I have had it for a couple months. It was healing fine. Until a month and a half ago I got a bump by it. I clean it with salt water, however, it isn't going away.

I talked to a professional piercer and she said to scrub the bump with a q-tip to help clean it more. I have been for a week. Still nothing, no change. What else can I do?

Thanks

Why does piercing get sore every time I change jewelry?

DEAR ALLEY: I have had my nipple piercings well over 2 years. They are pretty healed, I believe. My question is, each time I switch out my rings, my nipples get sore. Is that normal? It feels as if they are in the healing process again.

Thank you,
- Wendy
