Many people have misconception about the healing time after piercing.  Healing time for different body parts is different when pierced. If you think the piercing wound heals within a week then you are wrong.

Some general healing times are:

• Ear lobe – 6 to 8 weeks
• Ear cartilage – 4 months to 1 year
• Eyebrow – 6 to 8 weeks
• Nostril – 2 to 4 months
• Nasal septum – 6 to 8 months
• Lip – 2 to 3 months
• Tongue – 4 weeks
• Nipple – 3 to 6 months
• Belly Button – 4 months to 1 year
• Female genitalia – 4 to 10 weeks
• Male genitalia – 4 weeks to 6 months

The better you care for a body piercing, the more quickly it will heal, so be sure to discuss the proper care of your piercing with the piercing professional who does your body piercing to ensure a quick, clean piercing and you will heal in the least amount of time possible.
