Piercing Healing Time Calculator

Healing Range (Min) and Healing Range (Max) both start from a fixed pair of weeks looked up by Piercing Location -- a 12-entry table spanning as little as 4-6 weeks for Tongue up to 24-52 weeks for Navel or Industrial (lines 7-20) -- and then three separate multipliers are applied identically to both ends of that range: Aftercare Compliance (1.3x for poor, 1.1x moderate, 1.0x excellent, line 25), Age (four brackets from 0.9x under 25 up to a 1.3x ceiling at 55 and older, line 28), and Health Status (0.95x excellent, 1.0x good, 1.25x fair, line 31). Because the same three factors scale both the minimum and the maximum together, the width of your healing range grows or shrinks right along with its center rather than staying fixed. Expected Healing Time is simply the midpoint of that adjusted min and max, not an independently modeled "typical" figure (line 35).

Downsize Jewelry At is half the adjusted minimum, but floored at 4 weeks no matter how low that half comes out to (line 38) -- for Earlobe specifically, the default location, that floor is the binding constraint across every possible Age, Aftercare Compliance, and Health Status combination, so Downsize Jewelry At never actually moves off 4 weeks for an earlobe piercing. Safe to Change Jewelry is not a separate calculation at all -- it's exactly the adjusted minimum, restated as its own labeled output (line 41). Daily Saline Cleanings reports a flat 2 times per day regardless of any input on this page; none of Piercing Location, Aftercare Compliance, Age, or Health Status change it.
