General Disclaimer

The information provided by Pierceable (“https://www.pierceable.com”) is for general educational and informational purposes only. Everything on the site is offered in good faith, but we make no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, about the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any calculator result, guide, or museum entry. Using the site is entirely at your own risk.

Not Medical Advice

Pierceable is not a piercer, a piercing studio, a doctor, or any other kind of medical provider. The gauge, jewelry-sizing, healing-time, stretching, aftercare, and ring-diameter calculators, along with every article and Learn entry, are educational tools that describe standard piercing conventions and general aftercare information. They are not a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a substitute for the judgement of your piercer or a qualified healthcare professional who can actually look at your piercing.

Do not use a healing-time range to decide a piercing is fine, an aftercare schedule as a reason to ignore a problem, or a stretching plan as permission to push a size that hurts. If a piercing is hot, swollen, painfully sore, oozing, or simply not settling, or if you have a condition or take medication that affects healing, speak to your piercer or a healthcare professional rather than relying on anything here.

Estimates, Not Exact Figures

The calculators use widely accepted piercing conventions and simplifying assumptions — standard gauge-to-millimetre charts, typical healing ranges, common swelling allowances, and simple circle geometry for rings. They are only as good as the numbers you enter and the assumptions behind them. Real outcomes vary with your anatomy, the placement, the piercer, your jewelry, and how your body happens to heal. Healing times in particular are ranges, not deadlines: a piercing can take much longer than the typical window and still be healing normally. Treat every result as a planning aid, not a guaranteed outcome.

Piercing, Healing, and Stretching Risk

Piercing, downsizing, and stretching all carry real risks — infection, irritation, rejection, scarring, and tears among them — and outcomes depend on hygiene, technique, jewelry material, and individual healing. Nothing on Pierceable tells you whether a specific piercing, size change, or aftercare routine is safe for you. Always:

• Have piercings done by a reputable, properly trained professional piercer.
• Follow the specific aftercare your piercer gives you over any generic timeline.
• Stretch slowly, never skip gauge sizes, and never force a size that resists or hurts.
• Use appropriate implant-grade or otherwise body-safe jewelry for fresh piercings.
• See a healthcare professional promptly for signs of infection or an allergic reaction.

For any question about whether a piercing, a stretch, or an aftercare decision is right for you, defer to your piercer and a qualified healthcare professional over anything this site produces.
