thanks, I think it’s pretty interesting too. I helped a student with a research paper and learned some pretty neat stuff about tattooing throughout history.

Well, there are plenty of clear retainers out there to hide the HEALED piercings with, that’s not really a problem. hiding them at work while they’re healing is the problem. dimple piercings taake a LOT longer to heal than most oral piercings and you need a lot of room on your initial jewelry for a pretty long time.for the first few months you will have antennas dangling out of your face. it is imperative to have the extra length until the entire channel of the piercing is healed. a client of mine who had his dimples for about 4 months got drunk and slept on his face and woke up with his cheeks swollen around the jewelry, we put longer jewelry back in right away and the last time I saw him the piercings were doing well. If your job will not allow you to wear your piercings visibly for several months of healing this might not be a good piercing for you, or maybe just not a good time to have them. if you try to “cheat” by switching jewelry too soon or taking your jewelry out while you’re at work you will regret it! best of luck.
