Best Body Piercing near me in Villaggio Azzurro, Rome

Aftercare typically includes cleaning with sterile saline solution 2–3 times daily, avoiding touching with unwashed hands, not rotating the jewellery, and keeping the area dry. Your piercer will provide specific aftercare instructions based on the piercing location.

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.

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.

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.

Your piercing technician is best placed to advise you on how to care for your new piercing, but as a rule of thumb, you should clean your new piercing at least twice a day, washing your hands first, then cleansing the front and back of the piercing with a cotton pad that’s been dipped in sterile saline solution. You should also avoid touching your piercing until it’s fully healed, and you should try not to remove the piercing jewellery as it could cause the hole to shrink.

Cost varies according to the piercing you are having, but expect to pay between €20 to €150 for a body piercing in Villaggio Azzurro.
