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 
- Binging on alcohol is definitely a no no. Not even if the binge was 48 hours before the piercing appointment.
- Go to the piercing parlor well hydrated and avoid taking blood thinning medication or other such foods. That means aspirin, Advil or Aleve.
- Stop taking caffeine several days before the actual piercing happens. Take Vitamin K as much you can. It’s needed for optimal piercing.
- Get enough rest the night before your piercing appointment. Nervousness won’t really help you much.
- Personal hygiene needless to say will come in very handy in fighting off the undesired things that may come along with body jewelry like infection.
- Right before you’re on the chair/table; try some breathing and relaxing exercises and be acceptable to the situation and remember that it’s only going to take a few moments.
Have a snack, fruit or juice after the piercing is done. It will help maintain the blood sugar level and will relax you a bit.
Pre-piercing prep is area-specific too. That means it depends on what part of the body are you getting the piercing done. So oral piercing, eyebrow piercing, genital piercing each will have unique preparations before the piercing. However, the basic points above also remain valid for all sorts of piercings.
This ain’t no emoticon but instead a new body piercing style! Want to add a little sparkle to your smile? Then the smiley piercing is for you. Also known as upper lip frenulum piercing, this piercing is one of the easiest to heal and involves minimum pain. The piercing is done on the inside of the upper lip (the webbing) and hence shows only when you smile.
Smiley piercing has surfaced recently and even has an antagonist to it – the Frowny piercing! Gaining popularity by the minute, many people are getting attracted towards smiley piercing due to a virtually painless procedure and obviously the shine it adds to your smile.
Captive bead ring is the most commonly used jewelry option for smiley piercing. Curved barbells have been known to be used as well.
Smiley Piercing – Smile your way out of the parlor
Since it does not really hurt much and heals quickly, smiley piercing may be the best way to get initiated into body piercing (just may be, rest depends on your choice). The piercing jewelry will fall below gum line and hence keeping gums and teeth clean (especially after meals) is very important.
Take care that there are no gum infections or damage to teeth. Touching/ playing with the jewelry is a total no no. This not only because your oral health is threatened but also the piercing jewelry may tear out!
Smiley piercing sure has a lot of takers lately yet its still rare overall. It’s body modification at it’s innovative best.
Eyebrow piercing is one of the first off the usual body piercing trends. After navel, ear and nose, it’s eyebrow piercing that is perhaps most common and sought after. And now there’s a unique innovation in eyebrow piercing too – Double eyebrow piercing. It looks funkier, smarter and more daring then your regular eyebrow piercing.
Double eyebrow piercing means two body jewelry pieces or two piercings through the eyebrow. And the great thing about it, people already having a single eyebrow piercing can go for another too to get the double bling.
What’s Double Eyebrow Piercing All About?
Some people go for vertical piercings in which the piercings are next-to-each-other. Others get horizontal piercings one beside another (especially those who already have a single piercing done). The trend is fast catching up and will soon cease to be a rarity. Right from barbells, wires to rings all sorts of feasible body jewelry can be used for double eyebrow piercing.
Say, you go for horizontal eyebrow piercing placed side to side, above the eyebrow, then you would have four barbells visible. Or one could even try the one above and one below the eyebrow piercing for that killer style.
Whichever you choose just make sure that it goes well with your face and personalty.
P.S – The double eyebrow piercing is a great way to set yourself apart from the crowd! So go ahead take it on!
A recent study published online reveals that early ear piercing reduces the risk of keloids. The study http://www.onlinenews.com.pk/details.php?id=162745 says that delaying ear piecing until pre-teen or teen years can aggravate the chances of developing keloids.
Keloids are uncontrolled growth of fibrous tissue after an injury or scar on any area of the body. Keloids can occur on ears, scalp, top of the foot and even the chest, especially after first piercings. The findings of the study based on a survey of 27 females and 5 males showed that people who had their ears pierced at the age of 11 or older were more likely to develop keloids than those who took to ear piercing before that.

A 15 year old girl from UK was in news* recently for getting her tongue pierced. Due to profuse bleeding she had to be rushed to a hospital and now the girl has trouble speaking clearly. Before you get your tongue pierced, know the right way of going about it.

Tongue piercing is perhaps more popular than labret piercing, especially among teenagers who don’t want to get caught with an upfront piercing. So if you are one of those bitten by the piercing bug and ready to go under the needle, read through the simple steps below:
- Always go to a certified piercer and don’t lie about your age! Even if your mind is all ready to take the plunge think about your body. There’s a reason why there is an age limit for body piercing.
- Use nickel free body jewelry to minimize the risk of infections and other allergies.
- Follow the body piercer’s instructions instead thinking you know better. Now obviously you don’t argue with anyone with a needle but still hear out all the before and after instructions carefully and understand them.
- It’s better to go to a renowned piercing parlor with no bad press or lawsuits in its history.
Tongue piercing is cool so don’t make it look dreadful. Also don’t lose out on your gift of gab over an avoidable goof up.
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.
Knuckle Piercing – Not Everybody’s Game
Knuckle piercing looks great however, its also one of the most vulnerable body piercing. Infection, rejection and migration are just some of the risks that knuckle piercing may have. The risk is a tad bit higher in case of knuckle piercing.
There’s another kind of piercing that complements knuckle piercing, known as hand web piercing. Hand piercing is also risky as there’s a lot of hand movement in daily life. So anyone with a hand piercing has to be doubly careful of say running fingers through hair, opening and closing doors or picking up stuff and even shaking hands.
An absolute knock out piercing trend, knuckle piercing is perhaps not for novices but piercing enthusiasts already familiar with painful pleasures.
