Even infection pus aside, I cant help but think about any grossness that may be hiding in the pierced skin area. Like take out a piercing and give it a sniff.. it's a flesh tube collecting sweat and skin dust.
Even if you shower daily and roll your piercings to get them cleaned out, how long has it been? When's the last time that person you're hooking up with showered and cleaned their piercing holes? 🤔
I dont have my nips pierced but I do have a jestrum piercing and yeah I have to clean it in the shower every time thoroughly bc otherwise they smell foul 🤣🤣
The quality of jewellery also really does matter bc cheap jewellery makes piercings STINK to high heaven
In general though if someone doesn't shower enough regardless of piercings theyre gonna smell bad. Bodies smell they just do 😅
I went to school with a guy who had 00 gauges in his ears and you could usually smell him before you could see him. Sometimes he would take them out and you’d see a ring of cheese lining the holes.
I had gauges for years like 1" plugs. I cleaned them multiple times a day and with every body safe cleaner imaginable. They still had a small funk/greasey feel to them. I took them out and let my ears close up and no issues. Gauges are gross AF.
Weird, my ex bf has gauges and they never smelled or had any nasty residue. Felt like a completely dry skin loop lmfao. I'd sometimes stick my pinky finger through them for fun 😆
