Q: My piercing seems infected. Should I keep the jewelry in or take it out? It’s pretty tight around it. -Ethan L.
A: Okay bestie... real talk: if you think your piercing is infected, stop scrolling and go see a doctor ASAP. For real. Infections can get serious fast, and while we’re here for cute jewelry recs, we are not medical pros.
While you're waiting to get it checked out, do not take the jewelry out. We know it’s tempting, but leaving it in helps the piercing stay open so the infection can drain. Taking it out can actually trap the gunk inside (yikes). So keep it in, breathe, and let the doctor do their thing.
And once you’re all healed up and ready to glow again, BodyCandy has the cutest jewelry to treat yourself with. You deserve it. 💅
Q: Do you sell jewelry that’s work-friendly or discreet? -Amelia D.
A: Yup, we totally got you! Just search “micro” on the BodyCandy site and you’ll find allll the tiniest, most lowkey jewelry we carry. If you need to keep things subtle for work or school, we’ve also got clear and flesh-tone retainers that make switching things up super easy.
Pro tip: anything small in size or diameter, with no ball ends (or teeny ones—like 4mm or less), is gonna be way less noticeable. Go for a finish that blends with your skin tone, and if you really wanna keep it chill, matte metals are great since they don’t reflect light as much. Basically… stealth mode: activated lol. 💁♀️ Happy shopping!
