Your piercing is an investment. Protect it.

At Pressha, we source our jewelry from implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136) and 316L surgical steel — materials designed to work with your body, not against it. But even the best jewelry needs proper care. Follow this guide to heal faster, avoid irritation, and keep your piercing looking flawless.

Daily Care Routine

Clean your piercing twice daily — morning and night:

Wash your hands thoroughly before touching your piercing
Spray or apply sterile saline solution (0.9% sodium chloride) directly to the piercing
Gently remove any crust with a clean cotton swab or gauze
Pat dry with a clean paper towel — never a cloth towel (bacteria!)
Do not twist, rotate, or move the jewelry

Always avoid: alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, Bactine, and antibacterial soaps — these damage healing tissue.

Healing Times by Piercing Type

Healing times vary by person and aftercare. Initial healing (surface) happens faster than full internal healing — don't change jewelry based on surface appearance alone.

Ear Piercings

Piercing	Healing Time
Earlobe	6–8 weeks
Upper Lobe	8–10 weeks
Helix / Cartilage	3–12 months
Tragus / Anti-Tragus	3–6 months
Conch	3–9 months
Daith / Rook	6–12 months
Industrial	6–12 months

Facial Piercings

Piercing	Healing Time
Eyebrow	6–8 weeks
Nostril	2–8 months
Septum	6–8 weeks
Lip (Labret / Side)	6–8 weeks
Bridge	8–12 weeks

Body & Oral Piercings

Tongue / Smiley (Oral)	3–6 weeks
Navel (Belly Button)	6–9 months
Nipple	6–12 months
Surface Piercings	6–12 months
Genital	4 weeks – 6 months+

Piercing-Specific Tips

Belly Button (Navel)

Wear high-waisted clothing loosely during healing — avoid waistbands pressing on the piercing
Be extra careful at the gym — sweat + friction = irritation
Sleep on your back when possible
Healing takes up to 9 months — patience is everything

Septum

Flip the jewelry up inside your nose if needed during healing
Avoid blowing your nose aggressively
Saline rinse works perfectly for septum — spray directly

Daith

Sleep on the opposite ear or use a travel pillow with a hole
Avoid earbuds/headphones on that side during early healing
Cartilage heals slowly — don't change jewelry before 6 months

Cartilage / Helix / Tragus

Avoid sleeping on the piercing — use a travel/donut pillow
Hair products, dry shampoo, and hairspray can irritate — rinse away from the piercing
Cartilage is more prone to keloids — keep it clean and undisturbed

Nipple

Wear breathable, soft fabrics during healing
Avoid underwire bras pressing directly on the piercing
Healing can take up to 12 months — do not change jewelry early

Why Our Materials Matter

Not all body jewelry is created equal. All Pressha pieces are made from:

Implant-Grade Titanium (ASTM F136) — the gold standard for body jewelry. Nickel-free, lightweight, hypoallergenic, and safe for even the most sensitive skin. Anodized for color with no added chemicals.
316L Surgical Stainless Steel — strong, durable, and safe for most people. Not recommended for those with severe nickel sensitivities.

If you've had reactions to jewelry before, implant-grade titanium is your best choice.

Normal Healing Signs

These are all normal — don't panic:

Mild redness and swelling in the first few days
Clear or white/yellow crust forming around the jewelry (lymph fluid — not infection)
Occasional tenderness when bumped

Signs You Need Professional Help

See a piercer or doctor if you notice:

Severe or worsening pain after the first week
Green or dark yellow discharge with a strong odor
Spreading redness or heat around the piercing
Fever or flu-like symptoms

Do not remove the jewelry yourself if you suspect an infection — this can trap bacteria inside.

When to Change Your Jewelry

Only change jewelry once your piercing is fully healed — not just feeling fine. Changing too early is the #1 cause of setbacks.

Quick Reference

✔ Clean twice daily with sterile saline
✔ Hands clean before touching
✔ Pat dry — never rub
✔ Avoid pools, hot tubs, and lakes during healing
✔ Don't twist or rotate jewelry
✔ Be patient — healing takes time

Heart CZ Prong Set Nose Stud – 20G & 18G 316L Surgical Steel L-Bend Nose Ring

$20.00

Not sure what size you need? We've got you. Use this guide to find your fit — and when in doubt, always check with your piercer for your exact gauge and anatomy.

📏 How to Measure Your Jewelry

Different jewelry styles are measured differently. Here’s how to get it right:

Jewelry Type	What to Measure	How
Straight & Curved Barbells (tongue, navel, eyebrow)	Wearable length	Measure the straight-line distance between the balls or decorative ends — not the total bar length
Hoops & Captive Bead Rings (septum, ear)	Internal diameter	Measure across the inside of the ring at its widest point, from inner edge to inner edge
Labrets & Flat-Back Studs (lip, tragus, cartilage)	Post length	Measure from the back of the flat disc to the bottom of the ball or decorative top

Tip: Gauge (thickness) is always measured the same way regardless of style — it’s the diameter of the post or bar itself. The lower the gauge number, the thicker the jewelry (14G is thicker than 16G).

💍 Septum Rings

Measurement	Standard Size	Notes
Gauge	16G (1.2mm)	Most common — used by most piercers
Gauge — thicker	14G (1.6mm)	Less common, some piercers prefer this
Diameter — snug	5/16" (8mm)	Close-to-nose, minimal drop
Diameter — standard	3/8" (10mm)	Most common healed fit
Diameter — range	6mm–12mm	Varies by anatomy and personal preference

Tip: 16G / 8–10mm fits most people. If you’re unsure, check with your piercer — they’ll know your exact gauge and anatomy.

How to Wear

Pinch the hoop gently at the hinge point
The segment clicks open — no tools needed
Slide through your septum piercing and click closed until you feel/hear it snap

👃 Nose Rings & Studs (Nostril)

Measurement	Standard Size	Notes
Gauge — most common	20G (0.8mm)	Standard for most nostril studs
Gauge — slightly thicker	18G (1.0mm)	Common alternative, slightly more durable
Stud length (wearable)	1/4" (6mm) – 5/16" (8mm)	Standard nostril depth range
Hoop diameter — snug	6mm	Close-fitting, minimal drop
Hoop diameter — standard	8mm	Most common hoop fit for nostrils

Nose jewelry comes in several styles: nose screws, L-shaped pins, seamless rings, and hinged hoops. All fit the same gauge piercing — it’s just a matter of preference. 20G is the most common for standard studs.

How to Wear (Nose Screw)

Insert the straight post into your nostril piercing
Gently twist clockwise until the curved screw end tucks inside the nostril
It should sit flush against the skin with no gap

💋 Lip & Labret Piercings

Style	Standard Gauge	Standard Length	Notes
Labret stud	16G (1.2mm)	5/16" (8mm)	Most common healed labret size
Labret — initial	16G (1.2mm)	3/8" (10mm)	Longer for swelling during healing
Monroe / Madonna	16G (1.2mm)	5/16"–3/8"	Upper lip placement
Lip ring (hoop)	16G (1.2mm)	5/16"–3/8" diameter	Seamless or hinged hoop styles

Tip: After healing, most people downsize their labret from 3/8" to 5/16" for a snugger, more comfortable fit.

How to Wear (Labret Stud)

Unscrew the decorative top counterclockwise
Insert the flat-back post through your lip piercing from the inside out
Screw the top back on clockwise until snug
The flat disc inside should sit flush against the inner lip — not pressing or loose

👅 Tongue Barbells

Measurement	Standard Size	Notes
Gauge	14G (1.6mm)	Universal standard for tongue piercings
Initial length	3/4" – 7/8" (19–22mm)	Longer to allow for significant swelling during healing
Healed length	5/8" (16mm)	Most common size once swelling subsides (2–4 weeks)
Shorter healed	1/2" (12mm)	For thinner tongues or snugger fit

Tip: Tongue piercings swell significantly — always start with a longer bar (19–22mm) and downsize to 16mm once fully healed. A bar that’s too short on a swollen tongue can embed into the tissue and cause serious damage. Bar length also varies depending on tongue thickness — your piercer will size you correctly at the initial appointment.

How to Wear

Unscrew the top ball counterclockwise
Insert the barbell vertically through your tongue piercing from bottom to top
Screw the top ball back on clockwise until snug
Check tightness daily — tongue barbells can loosen with eating and movement

🌙 Daith Rings

Measurement	Standard Size	Notes
Gauge	16G	Standard daith gauge
Diameter	5/16"–3/8" (8–10mm)	Depends on ear anatomy

How to Wear

Open the hinged segment at the clasp point
Guide the hoop through the daith fold of your inner ear
Snap closed — it should sit snugly in the cartilage fold

💎 Belly Rings (Navel)

Measurement	Standard Size	Notes
Gauge	14G	Universal standard for navel piercings
Shaft Length	3/8" (10mm)	Most common — fits standard anatomy
Longer shaft	7/16" (11mm)	For deeper navels or during pregnancy

How to Wear

Unscrew the top ball or decorative end counterclockwise
Insert the bar through your navel piercing from bottom to top
Screw the top end back on clockwise until snug — do not overtighten

🔩 Nipple Barbells (Straight)

Measurement	Standard Size	Notes
Gauge	14G (1.6mm)	Standard thickness for nipple piercings
Initial length	5/8" (16mm)	Standard for fresh piercings — allows room for swelling
Healed — short	3/8" (10mm)	Snug fit once fully healed
Healed — medium	1/2" (12mm)	Most popular healed size
Healed — longer	9/16" (14mm)	For more comfort or larger anatomy

Tip: Most people downsize from 5/8" to a shorter bar (1/2" or 9/16") after their piercing is fully healed for a more comfortable, flush fit.

How to Wear

Unscrew one end ball counterclockwise
Insert the straight barbell horizontally through your nipple piercing
Screw the end ball back on clockwise until secure
The barbell should sit flush — not too tight, not loose

💠 Cartilage Piercings

All cartilage placements typically use 16G (1.2mm) as the standard gauge unless noted. Here’s a full breakdown by placement:

Placement	Standard Gauge	Standard Size	Jewelry Style	Notes
Helix (Upper Rim)	16G	1/4" (6mm) – 5/16" (8mm)	Barbell or hoop	Most popular cartilage piercing
Tragus (Front Nook)	16G	1/4" (6mm) – 5/16" (8mm)	Flat-back stud	Small flap in front of ear canal
Conch (Inner Bowl)	16G or 14G	Stud: 1/4" (6mm) – 3/8" (10mm) Hoop: 3/8" (10mm) – 1/2" (12mm)	Stud or hoop	Longer post for initial swelling; larger hoop diameter for inner conch anatomy
Rook	16G	5/16" (8mm) – 3/8" (10mm)	Ring or curved barbell	Inner ridge above daith
Industrial (Scaffold)	14G (1.6mm) standard; 16G sometimes used	Length: 1-1/4" (32mm), 1-3/8" (35mm), or 1-1/2" (38mm) Ball size: 5mm or 6mm	Straight barbell	Exact length depends on ear anatomy. Longer bar used initially for swelling — a professional piercer can fit a shorter custom bar after healing

Tip: Cartilage piercings can be worn with hoops, flat-back studs, or curved barbells depending on placement. When in doubt, ask your piercer what style suits your anatomy best.

📏 General Sizing Tips

Gauge refers to the thickness of the jewelry post — the lower the number, the thicker the bar (e.g., 14G is thicker than 16G)
Diameter is the inner measurement of a hoop or ring
Shaft/bar length is the wearable length of a straight or curved barbell
All Pressha jewelry is labeled with gauge and size in the product variant selector
