After getting a smiley piercing, it’s generally advised to avoid kissing or engaging in any activities that involve putting pressure or friction on the piercing during the initial healing period. Kissing can introduce bacteria into the piercing site and may cause irritation or even lead to infection.

It’s essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your piercer and to be cautious with any activities that could disrupt the healing process.

Once the piercing has fully healed, typically after several weeks, you can resume normal activities, including kissing, but always be gentle and mindful of the piercing to avoid any discomfort or complications.
