Tips For Body Piercing Atlanta

By Ruthie Calderon


Piercing is seen in modern culture as simple. When you get a body piercing Atlanta, you are putting a hole somewhere in your figure with a needle. It is, however, not something that should be done lightly or by non professionals -- there are some tips and precautions to consider when puncturing holes in a part of your body.

Teenagers are the ones who most often get piercings and it is now quite commonplace. Shopping areas often have piercing places these days and you can see them being done on television fairly often. The procedure has now become quite a craze. Areas pierced quite often include lips, noses, belly buttons, eyebrows and, of course, ears.

Before getting your first modification, you should know the risks. There are health risks associated with piercings, such as getting an infection. While piercings make your figure more fashionable, it is important to know how to take care of them. Once you have gotten the modification, you will have a piece of jewelry inserted into it. Be sure to get the procedure done in a safe, clean, and professional environment. It's worth the extra money.

Make sure you wash the pierced area regularly. Also ensure your immunizations, such as hepatitis and tetanus, are up to date. It is important that your doctor is easily accessible to you, as if you get symptoms like pus, a change in skin color or excess bleeding, you should go to the doctor straightaway.

If you want a tongue or mouth modification, find out if your gums and teeth are clean and healthy. The jewelry you plan on using has to be free of rust and well washed in water. Avoid strong cleaning agents if there is no infection in the area. Always avoid using alcohol or peroxide when cleaning the area, as they can dry out your skin. Betadine will wash away gold jewelry color. Be sure to clean your hands with soap before trying to touch the piercing, especially during the healing process. Do not let anyone else touch the pierced area while it is healing, as you don't know if their hands are clean.

When it comes to the mouth area, there are tips to consider when piercing the tongue or lips. Teeth and gums should be healthy at the least. Jewelry should be rust-free and sterilized. You don't have to go crazy with too much alcohol or peroxide that dries the skin. Just enough to cleanse the area before piercing. Betadine will ruin gold jewelry and is to be avoided. Finally do not touch the area until it heals. Hands are often unclean.

When getting a modification, piercers suggest that you use non-toxic metals like 14K gold, surgical steel, niobum, or titanium in order to avoid allergic reactions and infections. How long it takes to heal can vary depending on body resistance. Talk to someone else with the same piercing to get an idea of what their healing period was.

Protect the areas affected from hair spray by covering that section or if it is the mouth area, use an antibacterial mouthwash. Again, do not overuse alcohol. Remember to rinse after eating. If silver or gold isn't used for decoration, make use of a non-toxic metal such as surgical steel. Titanium is wouldn't be a bad idea. To many people, piercings add refinement to the body. However, keeping your body in top condition is the most vital thing. Never relinquish your health for beauty!
