It’s not so hard to hide body piercings when you’re strategic about where you place them! A nose ring like a septum ring may not be able to conceal, but you’ll probably have luck hiding a few other types of body piercings. This is especially helpful if they’re new piercings since you’re supposed to leave those in no matter what for six weeks! If you want to know how to hide body piercings without taking them out and possibly messing with your piercing’s health, read on.

Anyone looking into body piercings will probably know that it’s easy to just take a piercing out, but what do you do when you don’t want to risk losing a belly ring or nose ring? Or worse, your body piercings could close up if you leave them too long. That’s a big concern for people who have to hide body piercings in a work context—a workday is so long that it’s easy to deprive your poor piercing sites of love, which can be a real problem!

We’ve got a guide for how to hide body piercings without risking the piercings closing up, losing your jewelry, or endangering your health. Read on for our exclusive tips!

1. Cover your piercing with clothes!

Some of the simplest ways to hide body piercings just involve changing your clothes, not your jewelry. When you put on a longer shirt, no one can see that cute belly ring you show off with your crop tops! One consideration might be to ensure your longer shirts aren’t too sheer, since some tops can still show your belly ring through the material. That’s especially true if your belly ring sticks out or has any colorful components. 

Another thing to keep in mind when you hide body piercings on your tummy is to ensure you really are wearing a shirt that’s long enough to cover your belly ring. When you stand normally your shirt might cover your belly ring, but try raising your arms—does it stay hidden? If the answer is no, you might be able to find something in your wardrobe that gives you a more foolproof way to fly under the radar.

A longer shirt is an easy way to hide body piercings on the stomach, and you can hide nipple rings in just the same way! Just wear a thicker shirt or any other kind of top that will keep the outline from showing. Again, it’s important to make sure you’re choosing a top that will hide the nipple ring completely since an eagle-eyed relative might still be able to spot stop them through a top that’s sheer enough.

One way to ensure that no one can see your nipple ring is to hide body piercings with a padded bra. A bra will definitely keep your nipple ring from being visible, especially since the top you wear over it will give you extra coverage. This can even be a great opportunity to experiment with some more fun layered looks—no reason not to find a silver lining when you have to hide your favorite nipple rings! Then you can come out of your family dinner with a cute new look.

There are a lot of good opportunities to hide body piercings with clothes, and since it’s so simple, most people will be able to do it—even on short notice. Once your body piercings are out of sight, they’ll be out of mind as well, at least for the people you’re trying to fly under the radar around! And once you’re back in the body-piercing-friendly territory, you can just change your clothes to bring back your pierced look!

2. Let your hair down!

There are some ways you can hide body piercings with a simple change to your hairstyle. Anything from hoops, cartilage earrings, or studs that you’ve placed in more unconventional positions will be hidden from view when you let down your hair! Leaving your hair down is a great way to keep your earrings from being seen since it covers your ears just as effectively as your shirt will cover a belly ring.

To make your hair fix foolproof, you can take a couple of tips from us on how to style it. You can hide body piercings by simply keeping your hair down rather than up, but there are also a couple more advanced steps that come with the added benefit of being more reliable than simply letting your hair fall where it may. After all, just leaving your hair down still runs the risk of someone seeing your earrings poking out!

One of the simplest ways to hide body piercings with your hair is to take bobby pins or hair clips and secure your hair into place so that it’s guaranteed to stay over your ears. Especially if you have thinner hair, this can really help to ensure your cartilage earrings are covered. Plus, your hair might end up falling into your eyes or face if you let it down without pinning it back in some way, so this will make your body piercing fix comfier for you as well!

Another way to hide body piercings under hair is to put your hair up in a loose ponytail, ensuring that the hair is draped over the ears. In this variation, your ears are still hidden, but the hair is still up in a cute style! Depending on the length of your hair, you can hide your cartilage earrings with this approach in a messy bun, a side ponytail, or a number of other cute updos. Basically, this method amounts to a looser up-do rather than leaving your hair all the way down!

You might be wondering how people with short hair can hide body piercings with their hair. The answer is that depending on the length, it’s often possible to get a half-ponytail going’ on that can cover the tops of your ears! You can also try wearing a hat in a pinch, but if you’re going to be hiding a cartilage piercing for the long haul you might want to consider growing out your hair a little bit more!

All these ways of wearing your hair will hide body piercings with little to no problems, so as long as you’re making sure to follow our tips you should be good for any party or job where you don’t want to look too cool! Your cartilage earring can come right back out when your hair goes back up, and you can keep that hair tie on you at all times just in case you see anyone who isn’t cool with your awesome fashion sense.

3. Wear your jewelry in sneaky ways!

There’s a couple of tricks to hide body piercings that don’t even involve hiding your body jewelry under something. You can turn around certain jewelry pieces to make it easier to hide them, leaving the jewelry but leaving no one the wiser. This is a great alternative to taking the jewelry out or hiding it with a covering because you can simply switch around the way you’re wearing the same jewelry piece!

For instance, if you have a septum piercing you can put a horseshoe ring in the piercing site and then flip the curve of the ring upward. You can hide body piercings in your nose this way by simply swapping out your hoop piercing with a horseshoe, as mentioned before. The horseshoe style is a must because it’s only the more unobtrusive style of this nose ring that allows it to be flipped up into the nose. After all, can you imagine flipping a hoop ring up into your nose?

While stomach piercings and eyebrow piercings don’t work for this method, you can get a fair amount of mileage out of this trick. If you can hide body piercings without even taking your favorite body jewelry out, it’s worth trying that before you look for another fix! 

4. Take the jewelry out, but keep the piercing site filled

You might be thinking that taking a body jewelry piece out is a recipe for the piercing site closing up, and then you’d have to say goodbye to your favorite piercing! Fortunately, you can hide body piercings easily when you use some simple products out there to keep your piercing sites open even when you don’t have jewelry inside them. This is a great alternative to just taking the body jewelry out since you don’t run the risk of losing your piercing.

There are a couple of ways to hide body piercings by replacing your jewelry with simple fillers. For instance, you can simply cut the ball off a simple pair of stud ball earrings to get an easy piece that fills most ear and nose piercings. This works by simply taking the front off of the earrings, filling the piercing site without showing anything in front. This approach is unobtrusive enough to fit in-ear piercings, outer nose piercings, and even septum piercings!

You can also try getting plastic earring fillers if you don’t feel like going DIY. You can use these a little more easily to hide body piercings almost anywhere. That’s right, they make plastic piercing retainers for almost any form of piercing you could imagine! You can keep your belly, eyebrow, or even tongue piercing open without showing off how cool you are to your family when you put in one of these sneaky clear plastic pieces.
