A cheek piercing is also called a dimple piercing. Did you guess why? It is because a cheek piercing may highlight your natural dimples or it may create dimples in case you don’t have any. This piercing type should be located in that area of the cheek that is supposed to have dimples. It goes without saying that only a professional piercer can guarantee you a satisfying result.
Getting your cheeks pierced might hurt more than the average piercing because the skin is thicker. This is both an oral piercing and a normal body piercing, so you have to be prepared to take care of it accordingly. If pain scares you or you think your tolerance is low, you can ask for an anesthetic cream. This will add a few bucks to your bill, but at least you’ll suffer less. Oral hygiene must be ensured with mouthwash that doesn’t contain alcohol. The rest of it is similar to any other type of piercing.
A cheek piercing is considered especially cute and charming because it accentuates a person’s dimples or creates ones. You will still have to smile in order to achieve this effect, but not until the pain goes away, fact which will happen in approximately 1 week. However, the entire healing process can range from 6 months to one year. So, yes, it is the type of body modification that takes commitment even if it brings lots of benefits.
