Stop twisting your piercing. 🫵
That whole “twist it so the skin doesn’t grow around it” thing? It comes from a time when piercing jewellery was very different.
Older jewellery was often rougher and more porous, giving healing tissue more surface to grab onto. Modern, high-quality jewellery is highly polished and designed with healing tissue in mind — there’s no need to rotate it to “stop it from sticking.”
And every time you touch or twist your piercing, you’re introducing whatever is on your hands straight to a healing wound. 👀 More touching = more irritation, more trauma, and potentially more bacteria.
✨ The best thing you can do? Leave it alone. Let your body do the healing.
