Reply:Regular sunlight is usually not a problem, as long as care is taken that no sunscreens or tanning lotions get into the piercing. Tanning beds can pose a problem however, because the concentrated light can heat up the metal of your jewelry very quickly, which can burn you. It is advised that you avoid tanning beds for at least a month after getting your piercing, and after that, that you cover it with a small piece of cotton, or other cloth, while in the tanning booth
Reply:You can tan with a piercing. I'd be careful about sprays ... you don't want anything foreign entering the wound.





Are you maybe thinking of tattoos %26amp; tanning? That's when you want to avoid tanning .. it fades the ink.
Reply:Bed yes, spray no. I really don't suggest doing a mystic tan during the healing process, think of your piercing as an open wound, you don't want to get any crap in it! As for your jewelry heating up and burning you I've never heard a customer or friend complain of that, and it's certainly never happend to me.
Reply:yes
Reply:Never mind the health problems that can come with tanning, either with a tanning bed or natural sunlight. However if you're still instant on tanning, why not just wear a shirt? At least part of your skin will be somewhat protected.
Reply:I'd cover up that one area with something. I've tanned with my nose stud... never got burned by it.
Reply:Neither. Both are bad for it, and bad for you, and not exactly attractive.
