1. Eyebrow Piercing
Jewelry: 16g or 14g ($1.2\text{mm}$ or $1.6\text{mm}$). A bent (curved)
barbell of 3/8" or longer is required initially to accommodate swelling.
Aftercare: Cleanse with Glycerin soap and perform sea salt soaks twice
daily.
Healing Phases:
o Primary Healing (6–8 weeks): The time required for the wound to
close properly around the jewelry.
o Full Maturation (6 months–1 year): The time required before
jewelry can be removed for any significant length of time without the
hole closing.
2. Female Nipple Piercing
Jewelry: 14g ($1.6\text{mm}$) is the standard minimum to prevent
migration.
o Type: 5/8" (or larger) barbell or CBR (Captive Bead Ring).
o Professional Recommendation: Barbells are strongly suggested
over CBRs for initial healing. Barbells are more stable and less prone
to "snagging" on clothing, which reduces the risk of irritation bumps
and rejection.
Aftercare: Glycerin soap and sea salt soaks.
3. Male Nipple Piercing
, Jewelry: 16g ($1.2\text{mm}$) is often used if the tissue is smaller, with a
3/8" or 1/2" barbell or CBR.
o Piercer Discretion: If the client requests a ring, the piercer must
evaluate the specific anatomy to determine the correct diameter (ring
size) so the jewelry does not put "inward" pressure on the healing
tissue.
Aftercare: Glycerin soap and sea salt soaks.
Lip -ANSWER✔✔Aftercare: Glycerin soap, sea salt, and mouthwash

Jewelry: 14g 1/2 or 7/16 or 3/8 bent barbell. If the bent barbell with the large
bottom bead is the jewelry of choice the bead must fit inside the navel opening
without touching the sides or back of the navel. Not many people can wear
initially.
Monroe and medusa -ANSWER✔✔Aftercare: glycerin soap seal salt soaks and
mouthwash

purchase shorter jewelry as soon as swelling is gone. Let us know the piercing is
less than 6 months old and we will install sterilized jewelry.
