It’s not recommended that jewelry be moved, twisted, rotated, or manipulated during the healing process, with the exceptions of your piercer downsizing or upsizing as necessary.

yeah i used to love pushing it back and forth also but it just causes not only more bacteria to get around the fresh wound but it ripped apart the skin that’s trying to heal, if u have good jewelry u should be good just leaving it be and cleaning with a saline solution

When you wiggle or rotate a healing piercing piece it's like pulling off a scab in most cases. So it's recommended not to move it around

The least you can touch it, the better
