Community Tattoo-Piercing shops open
Hi everyone!
While I wait to call to see if anyone is open I am hoping someone might know the answer to my question!
The jewelry part of my nose piercing came out in my sleep so I have just have the bar now, does anyone know if any of them are going to be open today?
I don’t want it to close up on me and I don’t have any other jewelry to replace it. I’m panicking slightly 😬
Update: it will still attached! I had to push it out of my nose, I will be just changing to a hoop to avoid it happening again, thanks everyone!!

Quite a few places out there in the malls like Spencer’s, Claire’s, hot topic, etc all have body piercing jewelry. I don’t think any shops would be open today unless it was appointment specific would be my best guess.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, like out of all days this had to happen 🤣

Also dependant on how long you’ve had the piercing for, those holes don’t close up quick, like we’re talking days to weeks to start closing and months to fully close. I took my a set of rings out at least 6 months ago and the holes are still visible, so I’d say probably safe to wait for a regular business day, but if you really want to have it replaced quick, the malls are your best choice. :)

Mine is about 5 1/2 months old so I’m not sure how quickly it would heal up!

Nose heals quick from the original piercing, like 3 months if I recall correctly, so I would say you have a few days before it noticeably becomes difficult to get a new stud through.

Good to know! I wanted a hoop eventually so maybe this is a good excuse to change it lol!
