Jewelry placed in new piercings has extra length to allow room for initial swelling. Your starting jewelry will likely have some extra length once the initial swelling in your piercing has subsided. Oversized jewelry can become problematic if it causes unnecessary movement and irritation.

We want you and your new piercing to look your best! To do that, we would like you to return to the studio to receive a downsize (should one be needed). Before you leave after getting your new piercing, your piercer will write down the number of weeks to wait on the backside of their business card. Properly fitting jewelry allows you to enjoy the piercing for years to come!

Do you have additional questions about downsizing your piercing? We'd love to help! Please call your favorite studio and we can assist you with information about your new piercing. We can't wait to see you!
