Question: Is it Safe to Get a Piercing If I'm Sick?
Answer: Getting a piercing (or tattoo) when your immune system isn't at 100% isn't a good idea. You're going to need your strength and your white blood cells to heal your piercing, something your body won't be able to do if it's already doing battle against virus and bacteria. Not to mention the fact that it's very inconsiderate to bring your illness into the tattoo/piercing studio and risk passing the germs onto others, particularly your artist. If you have an appointment, call and reschedule for when you're feeling well again.
