Hi my daughter had her hips done. She did everything she was supposed to do to take care of them but one still got infected. She went back to the piecer and he took it out. He said if she had waited another day she would have had to go to the doctors to have it taken out. I could contact the place or person who did the piecing. They could tell you want to to.

I will tell you that my daughter has her bully button pieced then her hips and without telling us went and had her nipples done. She took out her nipples thank god. But it seems like every piecing she has gotten she has also gotten an infection. From her ears, bully button or hips. She had to wait 3 months to get the one hip repieced.

Not sure I helped much.
