I’ve been told to remove my nipple bar, not even allowed plastic in as piercing holes are an ideal hole for infection and bacteria! I ALS had to remove a dermal anchor piercing that I had on my sternum/chest. My surgeon said the dermal in the back of my neck and also my navel bar should be ok though he’ll just tape my belly bar up I think 🙂 had my ears done for years so I can take those out for months and they still didn’t close up!
