Hey, I’m thinking about getting a christina piercing within the next few weeks or so. I usually shave that area completely everyday, but during healing time I probably couldn’t. Also, I’m afraid of having hair grow in places it shouldn’t and halt the healing process. So my question is: What do you suggest? Keep shaving or get a full wax? If I get waxed, how long should I wait before getting it done? I know everything is super-sensitive 24 hours after. Thanks!

In my experience, clients don’t generally need to alter their shaving/trimming/waxing routines all that much with a new genital piercing. Hair re-growth doesn’t tend to affect a piercing much, unless you shave for the piercing when you don’t normally shave…which doesn’t sound like it’s an issue for you. If been clean-shaven is important to the point that a week or so of not shaving is going to be aggravating, a waxing is a good alternative that shouldn’t cause any issue as long as you give it 4 or 5 days before the piercing.
