Piercing 101: What They Don't Tell You

You're about to get a piercing. Or you already have one that's not healing right. Either way — you deserve to know what most studios will never tell you.

Piercing 101: What They Don't Tell You is a free, no-fluff consumer guide built entirely on the standards of the Association of Professional Piercers (APP) and The Piercing Bible by Elayne Angel — the two most respected authorities in the industry.

Inside you'll find out:

The exact questions to ask any piercer before you sit down (and the answers that should make you walk out)

Which jewelry materials are safe — and which ones are actively harming your healing

Why that bump is almost definitely not an infection — and what it actually is

The real healing timelines studios don't give you (cartilage isn't healed at 3 months — not even close)

How to spot a rejection before it scars you permanently

What to do if a doctor tells you to remove an infected piercing (don't — and here's why)

Pain scale for 15+ piercing types, so you actually know what you're walking into

A printable Q&A card to bring to any studio

This is the guide a good piercer would hand you if they had time to explain everything.
