Xo_Blondii_oX answered Sunday January 21 2007, 12:59 am: Do not go swimming. The peircer should have told you that you cant go swimming for like a week, i mean its not mandatory but it'll get infected that way. but if you do clean it majorly after you get out because chlorine gets down inside hte peircing and its hard to get out. also dont play with it that just irritates it. If you do get i nthe ocean or pool clean the peircing like 3 times after you get out to be safe. you should of waited till the end of your vacation. hope i helped [ Xo_Blondii_oX's advice column | Ask Xo_Blondii_oX A Question ]

I'd apply the same rule to any piercing. Call up the place where you got it done, and ask them to be sure! Because it may be longer. [ TARAfying's advice column | Ask TARAfying A Question ]
