When you take out a piercing, the area that heals up is pretty tough, kind of like scar tissue. Usually, it’s just the top layer that seals off. So, if you’re thinking about getting pierced again in the same place, it could actually work out pretty well. That toughened-up tissue might help keep the new piercing stable and could even be less likely to get infected.

However, it really depends on how your body is healed initially and the kind of scar you have. Ensure that the previous piercing has fully healed because attempting to re-pierce too soon can cause complications. To make sure you’re doing the right thing, it’s a smart move to talk to a professional.
