Body piercing is defined as the practice of puncturing a certain part of the body where an opening is formed so that jewelry can be placed inside it. The most common type of body piercing is the ear piercing. However, now that it has become a popular type of body piercing, there is a higher incidence of infections due to the design of the jewelry that is being pierced.
In the past, when ear piercing was first introduced, it was done by a professional, who would wrap gauze around the earring, and then pierce the flesh inside. However, that method has always been considered unsafe, and so, people would advise against it.
Today, you can pierce your own earrings with the help of a piercing gun or needle, and you can buy earrings that look just like ones that are supposed to be pierced, and ear jewelry that looks exactly like the ones that are piercings.
However, when you have ear piercing done, always keep the earring inside your ear: this is because the skin around the piercing is extremely sensitive, and once you take your earring out, the piercing can get damaged; you should therefore keep the earring inside during pregnancy, and then after giving birth, you can let it go.
There are also several different types of ear jewelry that you can choose from. industrial ones are the most common, but you can also find earrings studded with precious stones, beads, and designs that appeal to you. If you have a large amount of money to spend, you can get labrets, which are small pieces of jewelry that cover the piercing.
Once you have finished choosing the earring you want to buy, here are some tips that you should follow:
-Only buy earrings that are made from a certain material. Why? Because the surface of other earrings is rough, and can cause irritation and damage to the piercing. The best earrings to buy are made from a soft silicone rubber, that can rub against your skin, yet remain soft.
-To make sure that your piercing stays healthy, you need to get rid of the old jewelry. Buy earrings that are sterilized and can be easily hidden in your clothing.
-Exercise extreme caution when you piercing your ear. Always take an anti-bacterial or anti-poliative with you, since you might end up with infections and inflammation. Also, don’t over-brush or shampoo, because the old hairs will get in the piercing.
-Your ear should not be too swollen or it can cause you pain. You can take an ice cube to reduce the pain, and also use an over-the-counter pain killer.
In addition, here are some extra tips that you should follow:
-Try to minimize the risk of infection by utiating caution. For example, if you get a piercing in one of your ear lobes, try to keep the area clean and use surgical grade piercing glue to prevent the risk of the piercing getting infected.
-Treat the piercing as carefully as possible. Wear un-cured cotton clothing and clean equipment and equipment tools.
-If you are not sure about getting a piercing, wait until you get a chance to see a professional. A professional can examine your piercing and recommend you if it is safe for you to get it.
-Never let anyone tie or cut your earlobes.
-You can get rid of the jewelry if it is not right for you.
-It is easier to swim wearing a swimring than it is to try and take out the piercing.
In summary, getting a piercing is not difficult, but it is possible to take one that is done improperly. There are several different types of ear piercings that you can choose from, so make sure that you take the time to research what type you are about to get. Take care of the piercing, and always tell anyone who takes care of you if the piercing has gotten loose, if you have not been swimming for a while, and if you have a history of infections.
