Before we delve into the universal risks, each piercing possesses his own set of aftercare and precautions to know. The most frequent oral piercing is of course the tongue piercing, which to a professional piercer is among the easiest piercings to perform. Usually performed directly through the biggest market of the tongue (although the tongue can be pierced in other places - but talk to your piercer first!) and the jewelry of choice is always a barbell. The barbell jewelry is used because tongue piercings will become swollen for a couple days to a week after the initial piercing, and the barbell can accommodate the swelling. Over time of 4-6 weeks, the jewelry can be replaced.

Body piercing literally means making a hole in a part of the human body with the purpose of wearing jewelry in the opening created. After a process of healing, a fistula will be created. This is an abnormal 'passageway' in your body or skin so that there's a genuine 'hole'.

Body piercing Methods

* Needle Method (Standard)
The most common method used in the United States to make a piercing is with a medical hollow needle. The needle makes an opening in the skin you want to have pierced but doesn't go all the way through. The jewelry then is inserted and follows the needle back. It's necessary to insert the jewelry immediately to hold the slit the needle made open. The needle method doesn't involve removing any flesh (some methods do). The opening is always made with a needle larger than the initial jewelry to be worn. This is done to reduce the pressure on the healing piercing, giving it more room to heal and allow a fistula to form.

The first lesson in preventing tattoo and body piercing infection, obviously, is to not get one in the first place. Aside from that, there are a few things you can to do prevent infections in both body piercings and tattoos.

Body piercing involves invading the epidermis and dermis layers of our skin, therefore is has a higher risk of getting an infection. Because of this, more care is required to avoid an infection. A well maintained washed area and the use of the cream should be included by your professional piercer or tattoo artist.

Body piercings usually tend to get infected if they were clumsily done. To avoid this, you should make certain that you go to a highly regarded piercer that provides you with disinfected needles and materials. This is the first preventive step you can take to avoid infection.

There are some ways to pierce a brow: horizontally, vertically, angularly, several times,and also under an eye - anti-eyebrow piercing. We`ll try our best to tell you as much as possible of all this ways, but for a start we would like to remind you, that none of these piercings means nothing at all! You just join to the piercing culture and nothing more.

Then, for a standard brow-piercing it`s better to choose microbananas with the size 1.2x12mm or 1.2x10mm. Such jewelery squeeze the skin less of all, and the curved banana’s shape reduces the risk of rejection. And also microbars, rings, bars with spikes or other heads are fit for wearing in the healed puncture. In brief, you wear the things which are convenient for you, in order not to have problems.

As always professional piercers follow the rule: “Better expensive, but of a good quality”, - that is why when choosing the jewelery for piercing you `d better choose the titan, and not the cheap steel. Many people are ready to argue passionately, like they have always worn steel and were happy, but steel is the very cause of rejections and inflammations. But we have deviated from the subject, now let`s return to it.

What you need to think about.

Unlike tattoos which are difficult to remove without leaving a scar, piercing need not be permanent.

Providing care is taken to keep the hole clean and free from infection it can close up without leaving an unsightly scar should you decide it no longer suits you.

Almost everyone gets their ears pierced. Some mothers have their baby’s ears pierced, while others wait until their child asks to have it done. Whatever age you are, taking care of your newly pierced ears is very important. If proper care is not taken, ears can become infected. If this happens, you’ll find they are red, swollen and painful. There could be puss coming from the hole, and the earring is likely to get stuck in dried puss. You might even run a fever.

Body piercing may sound like a new-age art but the truth is that we have been practicing it for centuries. Have you ever realized that even your earring hole is a form of body piercing? It is the most common form of body piercing practiced. In India, women routinely pierce their nostrils too. Instances of body piercing have been found in the Bible as well as in Egyptian Mummies.

Body piercing is the piercing of a body part in order to wear jewelery in the opening created. Does that sound crazy? For millions of teenagers and even older people, it is the biggest fashion accessory. People may undergo piercing for a number of reasons. While the most popular reason is aesthetics, sometimes people may pierce for religious, cultural, or sexual reasons. Unusual piercing locations include eyebrows, tongue, lips, nipples, neck, and genital regions. While these may appeal to youngsters, the reception from parents is less than approving. If you are planning to go for it, ensure that you are aware of the risks and possible complications.

Body piercing is becoming increasingly popular with people of any gender or age. However, safety and hygiene should be your top concern before you get anywhere close to the needle – the following 10 tips for body piercing safety will ensure it doesn’t end up in infection.

1.) Use only professional masters.
Piercing should only be performed by a professional. Make sure you spend some time a reliable professional and seek a consultation before you make a decision to pierce. Home or amateur piercing jobs are very likely to lead to complications or infections.

2.) Don’t be afraid to ask questions.
Treat your piercer the same as you would a doctor – ask about their hygiene and safety standards and disease prevention policies. A lot of diseases, including HIV and Hepatitis, can be transmitted through dirty needles – do not be afraid to ask the necessary questions, as your health is at stake and stay clear of any “professionals” unwilling to provide answers.
