Best time to get a piercing?
With the Summer Season over and no sight of organised football till February, now may be the ideal time for players to get piercings!
Why now?
Visible piercings are forbidden whilst playing football and taping them up is not acceptable.
So to avoid having to take out starter piercings when playing football in 2026, consider taking the plunge now during the festive season or January to avoid any heartache during the season to allow the 6 or so weeks for the hole to heal. Being summer, also be mindful of any recommended restrictions on swimming.
