Getting Multiple Piercings: Tips for Stacking Them Safely

Getting multiple piercings is the big trend right now! Whether you're dreaming of an elegant accumulation on the ear or a daring combination on other areas of the body, "stacking" (or accumulating piercings) has become a real art. But be careful, even if the idea is attractive, accumulating piercings requires good preparation to avoid risks.

We give you all the advice to carry out your project safely and in style. 🌟

1. Define a plan for your piercings

Are you in a hurry? Take a deep breath and relax, because the key to a successful result is patience and organization. A piercing is not just about aesthetics, it is also about understanding the healing steps and respecting them.

Plan your piercings in stages

• One by one, or in small series?
  Some piercers are willing to do multiple piercings in one session. For example, you can combine 2 to 3 ear piercings (such as a helix, a flat, and a tragus) or on compatible areas. But be careful: the more you do at once, the more your body will have to work to heal.
• Talk to your piercer : They will be able to guide you on the feasibility of your desires according to your morphology and your tolerance.
• Consider healing : Each piercing has its own healing time (between 2 and 12 months depending on the area). This means that sometimes it's best to let one piercing heal before adding another one right next to it.

⏳ Quick reminder of healing times:

• Lobe : 6 to 8 weeks
• Cartilage (helix, tragus, etc.): 6 to 12 months
• Navel : 6 to 12 months
• Nostril : 3 to 6 months

2. Choose the right materials

If you're getting multiple piercings, you might as well do everything you can to avoid complications! Opt for high-quality jewelry from the start.

The best of the best? Titanium ASTM F-136. 🌟
This hypoallergenic, lightweight and ultra-durable material helps minimize the risk of irritation or allergic reaction, especially if you have sensitive skin.

💡 Quick tip : Forget about hoops at first, especially for cartilage piercings. They move around more and slow down healing. Labrets (with a straight bar and flat plate) are often the best choice.

3. Take care of your newly acquired piercings

Accumulating piercings is great, but you'll need to be extra careful with your care. With multiple areas healing, a little rigor is required.

Actions to take:

• Clean your piercings twice a day with sterile saline solution.
• Avoid touching your jewelry with dirty hands (yes, we know, it's tempting, but no!).
• Sleep on the right side : If you have had your left ear pierced, sleep on your right side. You can also use a hollow pillow to avoid any pressure.
• Beware of snags! Clothes, headphones or even hair can irritate your new piercings. Opt for updos and comfortable clothing.

4. Be realistic: listen to your body

Your body is a temple (and a true healing warrior), but it has its limits. Accumulating multiple piercings is asking for extra effort, so listen to it.

Signs to watch for:

• Persistent pain or significant swelling
• Unusual redness
• Suspicious discharge (yellow or green)

If any of your piercings show these signs, consult your piercer or a healthcare professional promptly to prevent a simple irritation from turning into an infection.

5. Be patient for a perfect result

Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was your perfect ear stack. Time is your best friend in ensuring every piercing heals properly.

💡 Little tip: If you are too impatient, opt for clip-on ear jewelry or fake piercings to complete your look while waiting for the real piercings to completely heal.

6. Choose the right piercer: an essential ally

Accumulating piercings requires real expertise. Take the time to choose a professional piercer who respects all hygiene standards and will be able to advise you best.

🛡️ To check with your piercer :

• Use sterile needles (not cartilage guns).
• Jewelry made of safe materials, such as titanium, solid gold or premium stainless steel (316L or ideally, 316LVM).
• Experience in accumulating piercings for an aesthetic result.

In summary: The perfect combo between style and safety!

Getting multiple piercings is an exciting adventure that allows you to create a unique and totally personal look. But for the experience to be successful, patience, rigor and choosing the right materials are your best allies.

Take the time to define your project, listen to your body, and trust a professional piercer. Your style deserves that, right? 😉
