Ten Body Piercing
Safety Tips
By: John B. Marcus
Body piercing is all the rage with individuals of all ages. Whether you are
choosing to pierce ears, lips, noses, eyebrows, tongues, or something a bit more
risqué, safety and hygiene should be at the top of the check list before you run
out and grab a needle. These ten tips for body piercing safety will ensure your
piercing does not result in a potentially dangerous infection.
1.) Only use a professional.
Piercing is something that should only be performed by a professional. It is a
great deal more complicated than simply pushing a needle through a part of your
body. Choose a reliable professional and seek a consultation before you make the
decision to pierce. Home piercing jobs are most likely to lead to complications
or infections.
2.) Ask questions.
Think of a interviewing a potential piercer the same as you would a doctor. Ask
about their cleanliness and disease prevention policies. A great many diseases,
including AIDS and Hepatitis can be spread through using dirty needles, so you
should ensure your quality of health is not compromised. Do not feel ashamed or
embarrassed to ask the necessary questions, and beware of any so-called
professional who seems unwilling or unable to provide answers.
3.) Choose wisely.
Just as each body is different, everyone will not be able to successfully pierce
their chosen spot. Once you seek a professional to pierce your body, ensure the
piercing can be successful. For example, individuals with an “out-ie” belly
button are unable to have a belly button piercing due to the orientation. Also,
some individuals are unable to have their tongue correctly pierced due to the
orientation of essential nerves and blood vessels.
4.) Think about the impact.
It’s a necessary fact of the matter that most employers frown upon visible body
piercings. Regardless of your personal feeling on body piercings, know that you
may be discriminated against or viewed in an unfavorable light by some
individuals only due to your body piercings. Before you decide on any piercing,
consider the impact on your image and your life.
5.) Choose quality body jewelry.
When it comes to choosing body jewelry, ensure you choose quality metals or high
carbonate plastics that will work well in your body and not have any
complications. Most body piercing jewelry is either gold with a high karat count
or surgical quality stainless steel. Avoid cheap or flimsy body jewelry and
focus on the quality instead of the design.
6.) Keep it clean.
After the body part has been pierced, it is essential to keep the hole clean.
Your body sees a piercing as a wound, so cleanliness is the key. Remember,
infections also do not discriminate between piercing holes and puncture wounds.
7.) Keep it dry.
Most piercers agree that the hole should be kept dry until healing has
commenced. Keep your piercing hole free of salvia, sweat, salt water, or
chlorine water, since all of these liquids can case infection.
8.) Avoid makeup.
If you are choosing a facial piercing, avoid polluting the hole with makeup.
Most cosmetic products are made with oils that can invade the piercing hole and
cause infection.
8.) Identify infection.
Keep an eye out for infections that can quickly and easily cause pain and
discomfort. Not all infections work in the same manner, but warning signs
include any type of discharge from the wound, fever, pain, discomfort, swelling,
and redness around the hole.
9.) Seek medical attention.
If your piercing is exhibiting signs of infection or complication, immediately
seek medical attention. Also, if the piercing is routinely painful and does not
seem to heal, you should seek treatment by your primary health care provider.
