No piercing is considered fully healed until it's a year old. Contrary to what you may read, it takes the body a full year to season a piercing to the point where it can be removed for extended periods of time without the risk of the piercing closing.
HBr is polar. The Lewis structure shows a central carbon atom forming four single covalent bonds with the four terminal bromines. The central carbon has no lone pairs and four bonding pairs, so the molecular geometry is tetrahedral (as is the electron geometry), and bond angles are thus approximately 109.5 degrees.
(Note that the angles, , , and are always zero.). Molecular geometry is determined by the quantum mechanical behavior of the electrons. Using the valence bond approximation this can be understood by the type of bonds between the atoms that make up the molecule.
