Best Body Piercing near me in Rittenhouse Square West, Philadelphia

Professional body piercing is the art of using sterile, single-use needles to create an opening in the body for jewellery. A professional piercer ensures proper placement, sterile technique, and appropriate jewellery to minimise risk of infection and promote healing.

Almost any part of the body can be pierced, and they neatly fall into the following six categories: ears, facial, genital, lip, oral, surface.

Some piercings take longer to heal than others; most body piercings take at least 6-12 months to heal enough for the jewellery to be removed without risk of the hole closing. One great piece of advice: opt for jewellery with a straight post (not a hoop) for your new piercing because straight posts cause less movement and less irritation, which means your piercing should heal more quickly.

A body piercing is a piercing or small hole made in the body using a sterilised needle; a piece of jewellery is normally inserted through the hole to keep it open while it heals.

Body piercing costs vary by location and studio. Most piercings cost between $35 and $120 including starter jewellery. Fresha shows upfront pricing before you book.

Healing times vary by location. Ear lobes heal in 6–8 weeks; cartilage can take 6–12 months; navel piercings 6–12 months; and nose piercings 4–6 months. During healing, it's important to follow aftercare guidance and avoid changing jewellery prematurely.
