💎 Piercing Healing Timeline & Aftercare Tips

By Dudo’s Tattoos and Piercing – Hyderabad

Getting a piercing is exciting—but proper healing is what keeps it safe and stylish. Whether you’ve just had a nose, helix, or navel piercing, understanding your healing timeline and caring for your piercing is key.

At Dudo’s Tattoos and Piercing, we’re committed to both style and hygiene. Here’s everything you need to know:

📅 Piercing Healing Times by Type

Piercing Type Healing Time

Earlobe 6 – 8 weeks

Helix / Cartilage 3 – 6 months

Nose (nostril) 2 – 4 months

Septum 6 – 8 weeks

Eyebrow 6 – 8 weeks

Navel (belly button) 6 months – 1 year

Tongue 4 – 6 weeks

Note: Healing varies by skin type, care, and piercing method.

🧼 Piercing Aftercare: Do’s and Don’ts

Do:

  • Clean your piercing twice a day with saline solution

  • Wash your hands before touching the area

  • Let it air-dry or gently pat with a clean tissue

  • Sleep on your back to avoid irritation (especially for ear piercings)

  • Use high-quality, hypoallergenic jewellery

Don’t:

  • Touch or twist the jewellery unnecessarily

  • Remove the jewellery before it’s fully healed

  • Apply alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or creams

  • Swim in pools or the ocean in early healing stages

🤒 What to Watch For

Normal:
– Slight redness, tenderness, and clear fluid discharge in the first week

Seek Help If:
– Excessive swelling, pus, or pain persists after several days
– Fever or chills accompany infection signs

At Dudo’s, we provide free aftercare consultations for every piercing client.
