HELP.

[TastefullyTwisted]

I want to get pierced on my 18th birthday in a few days, but I'm going on vacation to the beach a couple weeks later.
I know you can't swim in pools because of chlorine.
Is it alright to swim in the ocean after getting pierced?
It's saltwater. (;

yea but aint seawater dirty as fuck? i think it can be even more dangerous than chlorine i wouldnt swim before its healed

[TastefullyTwisted]

As long as I clean it afterwards I should be fine, right?

[joniponi]

i dont really recommend swimming there :/ but its up to you, if the piercing gets infected maybe you will learn a lesson or something but its your body, do whatever you want with it

[TastefullyTwisted]

I'll most likely try to stay out of the water and just sit on the beach and enjoy being outside haha.
Thanks for the advice. (:

go to the beach but not go in the water? BLASPHEMY

lol but yeah ocean water isn't good for brand new piercings.

[TastefullyTwisted]

I'll probably go in, but not so far that I get my piercings wet.

i thought the salt water was actually a good thing for fresh piercings?

salt water is, but not the rest of the crap in the ocean
