Corset piercings are great for temporary body modifications. Yet, you’ll rarely see someone who has had one for a very long time. Still, they’re fun and can be really exciting or sexy.
In general, a corset piercing will take at minimum 2 months to heal, and this is with daily aftercare and careful monitoring of each piercing. One of the reasons it’s so difficult to say how long this piercing takes to heal is because each individual piercing could heal at different times. It depends on how much movement or friction it’s exposed to as well as how well the aftercare is kept up.
When you get a corset piercing, you’re going to want to make sure that your sheets and clothes are all freshly clean to avoid getting any bacteria into the area. You’re also going to want to avoid sleeping or putting any direct pressure on the area.
You’ll want to make sure that you’re showering every day; don’t take a bath. Dirty bath water could lead to an infection if bacteria get into a healing piercing. The same goes for any public body of water—you’ll want to avoid the beach, pools, hot tubs, saunas, etc. to avoid the spread of any bacteria.
To clean your corset piercing, apply Saline Solution it on each piercing twice a day. Never touch your piercings, especially to rotate or twist them. If you ever have to touch your piercings, you’ll need to wash your hands with antibacterial soap first.
You’ll also never want to tape down the piercings, use ointment of any sort, or apply any harsh chemicals, such as Bactine, Neosporin, hydrogen peroxide, or rubbing alcohol on them while they’re healing.
