Q: i want to get my nipples pierced but i’m a bit confused about at what age you can have them done
18 and over since it is considered the same as a genital piercing in the eyes of the law.
No ethical piercer will pierce an underage person’s nipples, even if local regulations allowed for it (which most do not).

Q: where is the best place to order a pair of custom stone plugs? that does all sizes.
There are a few stone jewelers you could choose from; like Way body arts, Oracle, Evolve, and Relic Stoneworks.
The best way to go about it would be to stop into a reputable studio and discuss options. Oftentimes you need to have a consultation with an experienced piercer to get a proper fit, then they should be able to place any custom orders you need.
Today I did an eyebrow on one of the coolest clients ever #piercing #bodypiercing #bostontattooco #Somerville #Boston #bodyjewelry #safepiercing (at The Boston Tattoo Company)
Progress shot. These 2” double concave purple agatized petrified wood plugs will be for sale at APP. They are glorious and magnificent in every way! It’s ok to admit that you need them in your life. #thestonewitch #stoneportfolio
Okay so 2 days ago I stupidly got my 2nd lobe piercings done at Claire’s with a gun. It was a spur of the moment thing and my mom just asked out of nowhere if I wanted to get it done. So I didn’t know anything about how Claire’s and piercing guns are terrible. I’ve read so many things about people getting horrible infections and I’m freaking out. I’ve been using the ear care solution as well and I’ve also heard that its horrible too! What do so it won’t get infected?
Mall gun piercings have quite a few flaws. Chief among them are poor quality jewelry, and bad aftercare. You can read some APP brochures on both subjects for more information.

Visit an experienced piercer in your area and they should be able to help you out with some better quality jewelry, and some better aftercare advice and/or products.

I have to take up swimming as part of physio and was wondering; is it okay to go swimming with infected piercings? I know I have to waterproof my newer ones, but I’ve had these in my ear for about two months now. How much damage would I be doing?
That’s kind of a loaded question. Many times people think their piercing is infected when in fact it’s an entirely different issue. Things like allergic reactions to cheap jewelry and chemical aftercare products are far more common than infections. There are many symptoms that can be confusing with an irritated piercing; redness, discharge, soreness, scarring. While it may seem like an infection, only a medical professional can diagnose one.
If your piercing is truly infected you would want to avoid swimming and discuss options and treatment with a physician. My first suggestion would be to have a consultation with an experienced piercer, there is a significant chance that your issue is caused by something else which may be easily resolved by things like new jewelry or aftercare.

I was offered an apprenticeship under a good ex-piercer (they retired from piercing to focus on their tattoo work) but the only stipulation was that I need to get my own autoclave. I am going to be graduating high school soon so I don’t have very much money to my name. Do you know of any company that make medical interments that would do a financing plan on an autoclave? Once I am working full time I have plans to buy more but I will also have income to invest at that point.
Honestly, that sounds kind of fishy to me. Use caution and be sure you’re not locking yourself into a tough situation. It’s very common for people hungry for an apprenticeship to take opportunities that end up being a bad learning experience.
Try a google search for “refurbished autoclave” or “autoclave financing” and you’ll find no shortage of used medical equipment companies. It would be advisable to only purchase from companies offering warranties.
When purchasing ANY autoclave new or used make sure you spore test it and receive a verified test pass before using it for any client services or material sterilization.
Spring seems put people in the mood for beautiful new jewelry! This is a healed triple helix that we upgraded to a 14k yellow gold continuous ring, Myla ring, and Double Dalia, all by #bvla ! I don’t think I could have picked a better combo myself. ((piercings not by me- just fixed her up with some rad new jewelry) I say #stackthatshit ? :) #saintsabrinas #safepiercing #appmember #triplehelix #piercing #helixpiercing
