When to Change Piercing Jewellery Safely
When’s the right time to swap out your piercing jewellery?
Changing your jewellery is exciting, but timing and technique matter for safe healing. Here’s how to avoid setbacks and enjoy your new look with confidence.
Why Waiting Is Best for Healing
At Piercing by Jooles, every new piercing starts with implant-grade titanium for the safest healing.
But your first piece isn’t just about style—it’s about protecting your skin while it recovers.
Changing jewellery too early can have risks, including:
🟠 Re-open the wound and delay healing
🟠 Introduce bacteria that could lead to infection
🟠 Cause swelling or irritation
💜 Tip: Always follow the healing times we’ve given you—they’re based on your piercing type and your own healing pace.
Signs Your Piercing Is Ready for a Change
✅ No tenderness, redness, or swelling
✅ No discharge or crust build-up
✅ You’ve reached (or passed) the recommended healing time for your piercing type
