Avoiding Body Piercing Infections is not Rocket Science!

Body jewelry bought from a reputable dealer and going under a professional piercer’s needle are not the only two fool proof essentials to help avoid body piercing infections. Along with these two are some other necessary steps that first timers need to take. Experienced/ initiated body piercing enthusiasts can’t afford to miss these either and should not even try.

Contaminated body piercing equipment can cause Hepatitis or even HIV. If this does not make you more cautious then I don’t know what will! Another fact : Piercing guns cannot be sterilized so it’s safer to even get your ears pierced with a needle than with a gun, which is the only thing that a gun is remotely useful for, and we do not feel that it is good for that either.

Before the Body Jewelry is Installed – Pre-Piercing Preparation

Pre body piercing preparation is much easier than this tongue-twister-of-a-phrase. All it requires is a little bit of alertness, care and clear-cut know-how on part of the girl or guy deciding to take the pinch of the needle.

So what should you do to get your body piercing-ready? Follow the steps below and get all set for the sparkles 🙂

  1. Binging on alcohol is definitely a no no. Not even if the binge was 48 hours before  the piercing appointment.
  2. Go to the piercing parlor well hydrated and avoid taking blood thinning medication  or other such foods. That means aspirin, Advil or Aleve.
  3. Stop taking caffeine several days before the actual piercing happens. Take Vitamin K as much you can. It’s needed for optimal piercing.
  4. Get enough rest the night before your piercing appointment. Nervousness won’t really help you much.

Nickel Free Body Jewelry – Why Safety is Better than Saving

Well, nickel is that metal that is merged with base metals such as gold and silver to create body jewelry that is harder, stronger and shinier.

Body piercing, the practice of puncturing a part of the body to create an opening for jewelry, is not a new trend. Ear piercings and nose piercings have been documented back more than 5,000 years. Facial piercings in the lip and tongue have been found in African and American tribal cultures long before its popularity among young Americans. Even … read more

Knuckle Piercing – Knock Out Body Piercing Trend

A kind of hand piercing – Knuckle piercing – is not done on the metacarpals or your knuckle joints but the spaces between them. So if you thought that your punches could be made more deadly then you are hoping a bit too much. Anyhow, keeping the violence at bay (because when piercing gets in the way of impact it can get really bad), let’s see what knuckles piercing is all about.

Knuckles piercing is usually done with curved barbells. Both single and multiple piercings can be done on between knuckles. Compared to others, knuckle piercings are high risk piercings as these tend to get stuck in the pockets or brush against surroundings. These do not get in the way of daily activities though and are pretty unique.
