Body Piercing Places

By Steven McCarthy

If you're thinking about that first piercing you may just be puzzled as to how the piercing is done, do they use a piercing gun, are is it a needle?

The use of body jewelry is becoming more prevalent in our society with people of all ages joining in, not to many years ago you would have a hard time finding a body piercing shop, well at least one you felt you could trust to do things right and not give you some horrible infection.

With that said, the procedure of piercing is pretty standard in most places. The first thing a piercer will do after evaluating your area of choice for a particular piercing is clean the area with an antiseptic solution.

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 in most cases with the exception of piercing in more delicate area's which can be a little sore for a few days.

A piercer might also engage the use of a pair of forceps to help pull the skin out and maintain the accuracy of the piercing. This will also ensure that an adequate amount of skin is grasped before a piercing is placed in the skin.

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.

Many people find the experience of a piercing similar to that of a bee sting. Pain medicine is not usually offered, because it is minimal and short lived. Although, there are some topical analgesics that you might find available.

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 you want to make sure they are professional, their station is spotlessly clean and their body piercing instruments are sterile.

You will find that most starter jewelry is big and oversized to assure that tearing is minimized. Once your piercing has completely healed, you can return to the body piercing place to have a more personally expressive or more appropriate piece of jewelry put in.

Try searching the Internet to find out if they have a good reputation with many happy customers forums are a good way to find out if a place is a little sketchy or not and ask questions. Go into the shop your thinking of using and talk to them face to face and get a sense of whether you think you can trust them, and if you want to.
