Body Piercing
Have you ever been to one of those body piercing places. Individualizing your appearance is something we all try to do to stand out from the crowd. After all who wants to blend in and be boring. In the last couple decades the popularity of body piercing has been reborn. It is a form of self expression dating back thousands of years.
The first thing you have to know is if a piercing place is using a piercing gun leave and don't come back because they are not safe. They cannot be sterilized and are loaded with infectious germs, therefore using a gun could cause you enormous health problems in the future.
With that said, the procedure of piercing is pretty standard in most places. The first thing a piercer will do after evaluating your area of choice for a particular piercing is clean the area with an antiseptic solution.
The second thing I always get asked is how much does it hurt? Well everybody is different and yeah it's gonna hurt, but the pain fades quickly in most cases with the exception of piercing in more delicate area's which can be a little sore for a few days.
A piercer might also engage the use of a pair of forceps to help pull the skin out and maintain the accuracy of the piercing. This will also ensure that an adequate amount of skin is grasped before a piercing is placed in the skin.
Your piercer should be using a freshly sterile packed cannula needle at the time of your piercing. Most piercing pain will last only a few seconds, with the exception of some delicate genital piercing's, trust me, you want your piercer to take some extra time to ensure the safety and accuracy of these piercing's!
If your unfamiliar with the body piercing places watch how they handle their equipment, the freshly sterilized tools should be kept separate from the contaminated ones waiting for sterilization. Contaminated piercing supplies can cause HIV, Hepatitis are any number of infections.
Wear quality jewelry appropriate to the location of the piercing, body jewelry is designed to be worn in specific parts of the body for your comfort and ease. When choosing your jewelry pay attention to the material it is made of especially for new piercing's.
New piercing's require extra care in order to heal properly so if your on a budget look for Implant grade stainless steel in your jewelry which is least likely to trigger some kind of reaction or infection.
If you want to broaden your choices a little more you can use 18 K gold, titanium, or niobium these are all safe choices but you will find the implant grade stainless steel is less expensive. the body piercing places you choose should have some jewelry to choose from to get you started.
