Is It Okay to Get More Than One Piercing at a Time? Absolutely—With a Little Planning.

Getting multiple piercings in one session is a great way to jumpstart your dream ear stack or add symmetry to your look. At Identity Body Piercing, we regularly help clients curate stylish combinations—from double lobes and stacked cartilage to pairing a nostril and helix. It’s totally safe and common, as long as you’re prepared to care for each piercing properly.

That said, more piercings mean more responsibility. Your body has to heal multiple areas at once, which can increase the risk of irritation, swelling, or prolonged healing time if you’re not careful. We always recommend being realistic about your lifestyle, sleep habits, and ability to follow aftercare routines before committing to several piercings in one go.

Helpful Tip: Ask us about our Identity neck pillows! Using a neck pillow is a simple but effective way to support the healing process for new piercings, especially those on the ears. Traditional pillows can put pressure on fresh piercings, causing irritation, swelling, or prolonged healing. A neck pillow—especially the U-shaped kind used for travel—allows you to sleep without putting direct pressure on the pierced area, keeping the jewelry from shifting or getting snagged during the night. It promotes better airflow around the piercing and helps minimize discomfort, making it an easy and comfortable tool for a smoother healing process.

With the right planning, high-quality jewelry, and professional guidance, multiple piercings can heal beautifully—and look even better. We’re here to make sure you leave feeling confident, stylish, and well-informed about your aftercare journey.
