ABOUT ME 😇🙏🏻

Once upon a time...

I’m Jacob, and I’m a Professional Body Piercer in Sacramento, California at Body Bazzare Tattoo & Piercing! As a Body Piercer, I am constantly surrounded by people who are excited and passionate about expressing themselves through their body art. It's a privilege to be able to help them achieve the look they want and to be a part of their self-expression.


One of the things I love most about being a Body Piercer is the variety of piercings I get to do. From simple earlobe piercings to more complex genital piercings, no two days are ever the same. This keeps my job interesting and exciting, and I love the challenge of mastering new techniques and approaches.


Another reason I love being a Body Piercer is the sense of community and connection I feel with my clients. Body piercing can be a deeply personal and meaningful experience, and it's an honor to be able to share in that experience with my clients. I love hearing their stories and learning about their lives, and I feel grateful to be able to play a small role in their journey of self-expression.


But perhaps the biggest reason I love being a Body Piercer is the sense of fulfillment and accomplishment I feel when I see the joy on my clients' faces after they get their piercings. It's incredibly rewarding to be able to help someone feel more confident and comfortable in their own skin, and to be a part of their journey of self-discovery and growth.


In short, I love being a Body Piercer because it allows me to be creative, to connect with others, and to make a positive impact on their lives. It's a rewarding and fulfilling career that I am grateful to be a part of.

The Healing Process: What to Expect and How to Care for Your New Piercing 😇🙏🏻

Getting a new body piercing is an exciting and often empowering experience. It’s a form of self-expression that can enhance your self esteem and boost your confidence. However, it’s crucial to understand that a new piercing is essentially a wound that requires proper care and attention to heal correctly. We’ll explore what to expect during the healing process and provide essential aftercare tips to ensure your piercing heals smoothly and safely.


What to Expect During the Healing Process


The healing process for a new piercing varies depending on the location and type of piercing. Generally, the initial phase involves some swelling, redness, and tenderness around the pierced area. This is a normal response as your body begins to heal. Over time, these symptoms should gradually subside.


  • Earlobe Piercings: Typically, earlobe piercings heal relatively quickly, often within 8-12 weeks. During this period, you may experience some minor swelling and tenderness.
  • Cartilage Piercings: Piercings in the cartilage, such as the helix, tragus, or industrial piercings, take longer to heal, usually around 6-9 months. Cartilage is less vascular than soft tissue, making the healing process slower and more prone to complications.
  • Navel Piercings: Navel piercings can take anywhere from 6 months to a year to heal completely. Due to their location, they are susceptible to irritation from clothing and movement.
  • Facial Piercings: Piercings on the face, such as nostril, eyebrow, or septum piercings, generally heal within 2-3 months. However, these areas are more exposed to potential irritants like makeup and facial products.
  • Oral Piercings: Tongue, lip, and cheek piercings have their own unique healing timelines and challenges. Oral piercings typically take 8-12 weeks to heal, but the inside of the mouth heals faster due to the rich blood supply.
  • Genital Piercings: These piercings, including those on the clitoral hood, labia, or penis, have varying healing times, generally ranging from 4 weeks to 6 months, depending on the specific type and location.


Essential Aftercare Tips

Proper aftercare is crucial for the successful healing of your new piercing. Here are some essential tips to follow:


Cleanliness is Key:

  • Wash your hands thoroughly before touching your piercing.
  • Clean the piercing twice daily with a saline solution or a piercing aftercare spray. Avoid using harsh chemicals like alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, as they can irritate the piercing and delay healing.


Avoid Touching & Twisting:

  • Minimize touching your new piercing unless you are cleaning it. Constantly handling the piercing can introduce bacteria and cause infection.
  • Avoid twisting or turning the jewelry. This can damage the healing tissue and prolong the healing process.


Be Mindful of Clothing and Accessories:

  • For body piercings, wear loose-fitting clothing that won’t rub or irritate the piercing.
  • Avoid tight hats or headphones that may press against ear piercings.


Practice Good Hygiene:

  • Keep your bedding clean, changing pillowcases regularly to avoid introducing bacteria to your piercing.
  • Avoid submerging your piercing in bodies of water such as pools, hot tubs, or lakes until it’s fully healed.


Monitor for Signs of Infection:

  • It’s normal to experience some swelling and redness initially, but if these symptoms worsen or if you notice pus, increased pain, or a fever, seek medical advice promptly. These could be signs of an infection that requires professional treatment.


Avoid Makeup and Harsh Products:

  • For facial piercings, avoid applying makeup, lotions, or other products near the piercing until it’s fully healed. These products can introduce bacteria and cause irritation.


Be Patient:

  • Healing takes time, and it’s important to be patient. Rushing the process by changing jewelry too soon or neglecting aftercare can lead to complications.


Special Instructions for Oral Piercings

  • Oral piercings, such as those on the tongue, lip, or cheek, require specific care due to their location in the mouth, which is a moist environment rich in bacteria.


Maintain Oral Hygiene:

  • Rinse your mouth with a saline solution or an alcohol-free antiseptic mouthwash after eating or drinking anything other than water.
  • Brush your teeth gently and rinse your mouth regularly to keep the area clean.


Avoid Irritants:

  • Refrain from smoking, drinking alcohol, and consuming spicy or acidic foods during the initial healing period, as these can cause irritation and delay healing.
  • Avoid oral sexual activities until the piercing is fully healed to minimize the risk of infection.


Watch for Swelling:

  • Swelling is common in the first few days. To reduce swelling, suck on ice chips and avoid hot beverages and foods.
  • If swelling persists or becomes severe, consult your piercer or a healthcare professional.


Be Cautious with Movement:

  • Avoid excessive talking or playing with the jewelry, as this can cause irritation and prolong the healing process.
  • Be careful when eating to avoid biting on the jewelry, which can damage your teeth and the piercing.


Jewelry Adjustment:

  • Your piercer may use longer initial jewelry to accommodate swelling. After the initial swelling subsides, you may need to replace it with shorter jewelry to prevent damage to your teeth and gums.


Special Instructions for Genital Piercings

  • Genital piercings require particular care due to their sensitive location and the risk of infection. Here are some specific tips:


Maintain Hygiene:

  • Clean the piercing twice daily with a saline solution. Avoid using strong soaps or antibacterial products that can irritate the area.
  • Ensure the area is dry after cleaning, as moisture can encourage bacterial growth.


Avoid Sexual Activity:

  • Refrain from sexual activity for the recommended period (typically at least 4-6 weeks) to avoid introducing bacteria and causing trauma to the piercing.
  • Once you resume sexual activity, use condoms or dental dams to protect the piercing and reduce the risk of infection.


Wear Comfortable Clothing:

  • Opt for loose-fitting, breathable clothing to minimize irritation and allow air to circulate around the piercing.
  • Avoid tight underwear or clothing that can rub against the piercing and cause discomfort.


Be Mindful of Bodily Fluids:

  • Keep the piercing clean and dry, especially after urination or any activities that cause sweating.
  • Gently pat the area dry with a clean tissue or cloth if needed.


Monitor for Complications:

  • Watch for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, pain, or unusual discharge. Seek medical advice if you notice any of these symptoms.
  • Consult your piercer or a healthcare professional if you have concerns about the healing process or experience significant discomfort.

Conclusion:

Understanding what to expect during the healing process and adhering to proper aftercare guidelines are essential for ensuring that your new piercing heals smoothly and without complications. By following these tips and being mindful of your piercing’s needs, you can enjoy your new adornment safely and confidently. Remember, a well-cared-for piercing not only looks great but also reflects your commitment to your body’s health and well-being.
