Tips About Piercing & Body Jewelry

By Stefanie Flenner


Body piercing is a practice that has been around since ancient times, and these days, it's certainly not uncommon to see someone sporting more than just basic earrings. While it certainly has become more mainstream, it's still important to note that with any type of piercing, specific care needs to be taken to ensure that the pierced area stays clean and safe.

Consider your overall health prior to piercing. If you have the flu or a cold or are just getting over an illness, this isn't a good time to pierce. Your immune system is already taxed, and the healing process might be much slower if you pierce while you are unwell. There are many chronic types of diseases, such as diabetes, that weaken our immune system in general. If you have an immunodeficiency, a body piercing is probably not a very good idea in general. While it's fun to decorate your body and you might love the look, your health should be the first priority.

The quality of the facility where you get piercings is always important to think about. The tools that are used need to be sterilized before each new use, and if the place looks dirty and you get a bad vibe, head somewhere else. Most tattoo parlors offer a wide variety of piercings and a staff of highly trained professionals. Look for a facility that is clean, safe and professional. Piercings and tattoos are more popular than ever before, so finding a reputable shop shouldn't a problem. It might cost a bit more, but your health is the most important thing. Be sure to heed your piercer's advice in regards to the healing process and cleaning the area. They know what they are talking about, and an infection is not only dangerous, it hurts.

When it comes to any kind of body modification, it is wise to consider the impact this could have on your lifestyle. For example, while you might want to have your nipples pierced or belly pierced, this might not be the best idea if you love sports simply because the tight fitting athletic wear can cause irritation and pain when rubbed up against these piercing. Also facial piercings can become injured if you are wearing jewelry and participating in any type of contact sport.

In addition, think about your employer and future employer before your pierce. If you hope to have the type of job where facial piercings, other than basic earrings, might be frowned upon, this is certainly something to consider.

Of course after everything has healed up, you can definitely have a little fun selecting some cool new jewelry for your piercings. There are many online sites that offer inexpensive items for you to consider, such as GlitterJewelry4U.com. They have everything from earrings to eyebrow spikes plus nose rings, tongue rings, nipple rings and nipple shields. You can find tons of styles suitable either for men or women.
