Twisting the piercing breaks the newly forming flesh! Think of this as ripping off a scab on a healing wound. … Don’t touch your healing piercings unless you have CLEAN disinfected hands! Twisting your piercing can also cause it to become irritated, inflamed, and could cause the piercing to migrate or heal crooked!
People also ask, why shouldnt you twist new piercings?
Don’t touch a new piercing or twist the jewelry unless you‘re cleaning it. Keep clothing away from the piercing, too. Excessive rubbing or friction can irritate your skin and delay healing. Keep the jewelry in place.
Also, never twist the bar in the ear while the piercing is healing, just let it do its thing. And if you‘re finding it tricky not to sleep on the pierced side, use a travel pillow!
