DO NOT touch, play with, grope, fondle, twist, rotate, or otherwise harass your new piercing…

LEAVE IT ALONE!!! HANDS OFF!! A piercing can be healed without ever moving the jewelry. It is a common misconception that jewelry must be turned to make sure that it does not get stuck in your body. The jewelry you are healing with is not an organic material. It can not become permanently stuck. Over time your piercing will loosen up and jewelry will move freely. Do not move your jewelry in a new piercing as this is the equivalent of picking a scab. It will lengthen your healing period, cause irritation, and increase the risk of introducing bacteria to the piercing.
