Body Piercing Information

Have you ever thought of going 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. As a form of self expression, piercing dates back thousands of years and has taken many forms.

Have you been thinking of getting pierced you're probably a little intimidated and have some questions? I'll go over some of the questions I get asked most often about piercing and body art, to give you a better understanding of the whole process.

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, 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!

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 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.

Next they want to know how to pick the right piercing studio? Of all the things you want to look for in a quality piercing boutique, and if you forget everything else I have tried to explain to you then you need to make sure they are professional, their station is spotlessly clean and their body piercing instruments are sterile.

Ask your friends questions about the different places they've gone to for their piercing's, and what they liked or didn't like about each place. Ask specific questions about the concerns you might have. Like, are they professional, is the place clean, can you trust them. Try to get a feel for what place you would like to check-out first, but visit more than just one.

New piercing's require extra care in order to heal properly so if you're on a budget look for an 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 the body piercing places require with your piercing, and make sure you don't try to exchange your jewelry too soon.
