Can they take the piercing out for school/work/church?
Realistically, no. Taking a piercing in and out is just begging for additional scarring due to all the irritation. In addition, regularly covering up a piercing with a bandage (as some dress codes ask) can easily irritate both the piercing and the surrounding skin. By forcing a person to take a piercing out or cover it on a regular basis that person’s health (and the piercing) are put at risk. If a person gets a piercing on “public skin”, they must be willing to show it pretty much all the time. If this isn’t an option, then they’ll need to decide which activity is more important to them.
