So you’ve decided to get a cheek piercing, what next? Cheek piercings are what we call lifestyle piercings because unlike some other piercings; they require the body artist to make a significant amount of lifestyle changes.

This level of complexity for a piercing is however justified as cheek piercings are the surest way to make you look chic.

In the hands of a skilled piercer, the piercing procedure itself is not all that stressful. Before the process commences, you would need to brush your teeth thoroughly to cut down the risk of developing infections. Expect to see some bleeding as the cheek is laced with an extensive network of blood vessels. Pain levels are moderate, with the right aftercare and a good hygiene the piercing should begin healing from the first-day post piercing. On the average, it takes 4 months for the piercing to completely heal up.
