Follow the directions from the professional who did the piercing. Like any procedure, it is likely to be preferable to avoid pools, lakes or other bodies of water until it has completely healed. Avoid wearing the jewelry into the pool after that. Find a good way to clean the area once you are finished and before you put the jewelry back in. You can used pre-packaged saline without additives or make your own: Dissolve 1/4 teaspoon of non-iodized (iodine-free) sea salt into one cup (8 oz.) of warm distilled or bottled water.
Answer: It is not a good idea to go into any large body of water, no matter how clean with a piercing (or a tattoo, for that matter) because of how many people/germs go into the water. It just makes it easier for infection, which can cause rejection of the jewelry.
However, if you do go into the water make sure that you clean your piercing thoroughly. But, it's best to avoid it until you're all healed up!
Answer 2: YES! Negatively, so don't do it! That's a cesspool of bacteria that you're talking about, chlorine or no chlorine. And do you think the chlorine itself is good for your piercing? That's right, it's DEFINITELY NOT. Any good piercer tells you not to go swimming or even to take baths (unless you clean the tub REALLY well and then rinse it down REALLY well before filling it with your water to bathe in.

If you give your nose 2 weeks to heal and then go swimming will it affect the nose piercing?
yes, the chlorine will infect the inside of the piercing. Not to mention all of the germs floating around in whatever body of water you are swimming in. although, if you've only had the piercing for 2 weeks, when you take it out, it will instantly heal seeing as you've not given it enough time to heal. so technically, if you take it out and go swimming an hour later or something, it will have healed up, so it'll be like there was never a piercing :/
Does chlorine in swimming pools affect your hair if you have dyed it brown?
It certainly can. The chemicals (not actually literally "chlorine", but that's a common name for them, and they do often contain chlorine) used to disinfect swimming pools are generally bleaching agents to a greater or lesser extent, and will frequently cause hair to lighten in color. They can also cause damage to the hair itself.
How much does chlorine for a swimming pool cost?
Chlorine is a gas at room temperature. It can be purchased in cylinders for the swimming pool industry. From there it depends on what you call expensive. You can't just go down to the local store and buy it. Solid chlorine would need to be stored at below -34oC . This would be expensive.
Would getting a piercing removed and getting a new one in the same session affect the healing proccess of either?
Since this will probably cause confusion, I'm planning on visiting a local piercing parlor within the next couple of days to remove my cartilage piercing (which I've had for over a year) and get my rook done instead (in the same ear) and I'm just wondering if that will traumatize my ear or affect/prolong the healing process for both the new and removed piercing. I know it sounds kinda stupid, but I don't want to take any chances. Thanks!
What affect does the chlorine in a swimming pool have on jewelry?
I don't know the exact chemical reaction but my wife and I were told by the jewler not to wear our wedding rings in the pool. I took chemistry in college and I'm pretty sure chlorine forms hydrochloric acid in water, so there is a dilute acidic solution in swimming pools. So the reaction involved is between a metal and an acid.

If you get your belly pierced then lose weight will it affect how the piercing looks?
It won’t really affect the look of the piercing at all. But depending on how much weight you lose, it may affect the placement of the piercing itself. Losing and gaining a lot of weight may also cause a navel piercing to migrate and possibly reject.
