Downsizing 🌟
What is downsizing?
⬇️Shortening of the post, barbell, or curved barbell
Why do we suggest to downsize?
✨Downsizing is super important when healing a piercing to ensure the piercing does not shift, does not get caught and snagged, doesn't end up having build up on the bar, and to ensure less movement during the healing of the piercing✨
When is the appropriate time to downsize?
💫Every piercing is different, every altitude is different and every Body is different💫
What we suggested after initial healing
👂Lobes 4-6 weeks
👃Nostril 4-8 weeks
👂Helix, Tragus, Conch, Forward Helix, Rook Most Cartilage 6-8 Weeks
👄Lip, Tongue, Most Oral Piercings 2-4 Weeks for initial downsize, Second Downsize 6-8 weeks
🤨Eyebrow 8-12 Weeks
💥Rule of Thumb, if you're waking up with space on your bar it is most likely time for a downsize💥
You can always check with your local piercer to check 100% if it's time for your downsize
