Maximus Body Piercing Studio

❤️ thank you❣️

Client was all the way from Alaska ❣️ thank you for choosing us 🫶🏻

💫25 years & counting ✨

We recommend as early as 4-6 weeks for most piercings that tend to snag or rub, examples are external ear or cartilage 👂 piercings, that tend to snag on hair, mouth piercings that rub on gums or teeth,

We want you to wait to downsize at least 2-4 months for nostril, septum, and surface piercings, because switching these too early can cause more trauma to the piercing channel that may result in more swelling…

✨if unsure if you are ready come in for a downsize evaluation 💫

"I THINK IT'S INFECTED"
"It's really infected."
"It keeps getting infected."

But does it?
Let's talk about it!

Yes, piercings can become infected.
But swelling, redness, tenderness and discharge do not automatically mean infection.
Your body is healing a wound!

✨Healing phases 💫

WHAT CAUSES PIERCING BUMPS:

Most piercing bumps are irritation bumps caused by physical pressure, friction, or micro-movements from sleeping on the piercing, snagging it on clothes or hair, wearing poor-quality metal like nickel, or using harsh chemical cleansers like alcohol and hydrogen peroxide.

Top Causes of Piercing BumpsSleeping on the piercing: Puts constant asymmetrical pressure on cartilage (helix, conch) and creates friction.

Physical trauma/snagging: Accidentally catching the jewelry on clothing, towels, or hairbrushes.Low-quality metals: Jewelry containing nickel or cheap alloys that trigger contact allergies.Improper jewelry shape/length: Wearing a ring too early or failing to downsize a long starter post.

Chemical irritation: Applying harsh products like, alcohol, or peroxide.

Types of BumpsIrritation / Trauma Bumps: Soft, pink, fluid-filled bumps; very common and go away when the source of irritation stops.
Hypertrophic Scars: Firm, raised scar tissue confined strictly to the piercing boundary.
Keloids: Thick, permanent genetic scar overgrowths that spread past the original wound; relatively rare compared to simple irritation bumps.

A vertical cl****al hood benefits:

(VCH) piercing offers enhanced sexual stimulation from direct jewelry contact, a fast healing time of 4 to 12 weeks, high anatomical suitability for most vulvas, and a boost in body confidence.
Enhanced Sexual PleasureDirect Stimulation: The lower bead of the curved barbell rests against or near the cl****al g***s, providing subtle, continuous friction during daily movement, walking, or sexual activity.
Heightened Arousal: Many wearers report increased sensitivity, faster arousal, and more intense or***ms,

Cleaning Routine:
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching near the piercing.Spray with a sterile 0.9% saline wound wash twice a day.Rinse gently with clean warm water during daily showers.Pat dry carefully using a clean, disposable paper towel to avoid bacteria or snagging.
