ive got multiple piercings and didnt have to take mine out. they just asked me if my toung ring twisted off in case of an mergency and they hade to remove it. just depends on the hospital.
See I've asked and a tattoo shop won't touch me BC I'm pregnant the rest of my piercings I can get in and out on my own but this is the one I reallyyyy don't want to lose...of course lol
Ask before hand, I had to take out all piercings before any surgeries I have had. You can have them removed from a piercing shop I bet they will be more careful about scarring, the hospital may just cut them out without caring about leaving a scar on you.
Sometimes they put tape over your piercings.. I had emergency ovarian surgery at the beginning of my pregnancy w an epidermal and I couldn't take my boob piercings out .. Were too tight and til this day have only managed to take one out so they did that. It is best to just ask. I know I'll be removing my other one soon at the piercing shop. My Marilyn Monroe I can remove myself and put back in.
A friend told me that here they'll ask you to remove all jewelry but in this case they can't make me..but I'm still unsure
Where I live, all jewelry must be removed for delivery.
