Body Piercing

By: Steven McCarthy

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.

Speaking of infections if your looking into body piercing places and in talking with them about how they do things and they mention using a piercing gun, you need to stay clear of that shop because piercing guns can not be sterilized and you run a very high risk of developing an infection.

The next step, for the piercer is to distinctly mark the needle entry point and exit points of the piercing to be sure of a straight piercing. It is also important for correct placement.

The labret is a piercing that goes in the bottom lip, but over the years there have been many variations to this style of piercing. The labret gets it's name from the style of jewelry worn, which is usually some type of bead ornamentation. Some variations are, Vertical labret which is down through the top of the lip and out the bottom, The Lowbret the piercing is done low on the chin, The Medusa is placed in the upper lip between the center ridges.

The truth is for a few days after your body piercing you will have some drainage, this is normal. If the discharge begins to change color yellow or green or thicken you should be concerned. Other things to be on the lookout for are redness and inflammation.

Then they want to know why they should pay so much money at a piercing boutique when their friend know's a guy that can do it for half the price. My answer is your odd's of getting an infection are remarkably lower at the boutique, backroom piercing is an infection waiting to happen and the cause of all the horror stories about piercing infections.

After your piercer has created the hole in your skin, the forceps are detached and only the cannula remains in place. A implant grade piece of jewelry is fit into the instrument, and then pushed through the hole as the cannula is slowly removed.

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.

Be sure you pay attention to the healing time required with your piercing, and make sure you don't try to exchange your jewelry too soon.
