Will a piercing infection affect a BA?

December 1, 2012
Asked By:Georgia515

Booked in for BA in march, had a piercing in august 2012 .. if my industrial /scaffold (ear cartilage) piercing is infected will they do the surgery? Just worried as they stated that you must be free from infection. It's nearly healed but my daughter does bump it occasionally and is tender still. Thanks!
