Best Body Piercing near me in Les Crozes, Montpellier

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.

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

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.

Yes. Infections are common if good hygiene standards haven’t been followed. Scarring, nerve damage, and the transmission of hepatitis B and C are also known risks. If you choose an oral piercing and you play with it, it can cause trauma to the teeth and gum, leading to tooth fractures, gingivitis, and gum recession. Tongue piercings can cause the tongue to swell temporarily. More severe, and even life threatening, side effects have been known. Ask your body piercest to give you a complete overview of the risks before you book your piercing appointment. You can minimise risk by booking your body piercing with an experienced professional who follows stringent hygiene rules.

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.

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.

Body piercing costs vary by location and studio. Most piercings cost between €5 and €80 including starter jewellery. Fresha shows upfront pricing before you book.
