Body Piercing

Note- I?ve included information about a certain ?down there? piercing in this op and a bit of slightly graphic information about it, if you think this sort of info will offend or upset you, then don?t read this. Currently I have ten piercings?six in my ears, plus my nose, tongue, navel and somewhere else I?ll leave to the imagination. I love each and every one of them, even the ones that hurt like hell (surprisingly, the tongue and er, other one, weren?t the most painful as you might think, my nose and certain parts of my ear hurt much more). My piercing craze has been a very recent development in my life, I had my first piercing done last summer. I?m ...  Read the complete review

Did you know that some peoples opinions on ear piercing are quite dramatic? Some people don't batter an eye lid when they see a 5 month old with gold studs in, while others put it in the same category as child abuse. Well hopefully in this opinion which is about baby and children having piercing, I would like to give my view. I trained several years ago as a Beauty Therapist with Ear piercing as part of the extra within my Diploma. I have 3 ear piercings myself, the last one funnily enough I had done to help one of my mates pass her assessment. Most people think that ear piercing is easy, nothing to it and are easy to care for. Well, to a child, it ...  Read the complete review

When I was 14 and staying with a friend, I had my ears pierced for the first time. This was done at the back of a jeweller shop. The man used an ice cube and a needle that he sterilised in boiling water. After piercing my ear with the needle, he then threaded a gold sleeper through my ear. I walked along Llandudno high street with my friend back to the hotel that her parents ran, with blood pouring down my neck. This was nearly 30 years ago, now things are very different in the world of body piercing. No body-piercing professional today would conduct a piercing in this way. Body piercing has become common and it is not just ears that I am talking about. ...  Read the complete review

Everybody has different opinions when it comes to body piercing, as people do with the majority of things. If we all didn't have our own opinions on things then the world wouldn't have the drama and events it does today. I know from just listening to friends and family that people have so many different opinions and thoughts on body piercing. I'm one of them people who actually love piercings, in moderation though. I find it unattractive and quite an eyesore when somebody has drastic piercings EVERYWHERE or more than one piercing in one particular place e.g three eyebrow bars in one eyebrow. I personally think I like body piercings on myself as for some reason ...  Read the complete review

There are many different kinds of body piercing; the main important thing to look for is a licensed body piercer who knows what products and procedures to use, as lots can go wrong when done using the wrong materials or don't know the right placement of the jewellery etc. When I did some research for mine; I called up all the local places, also had a good look around the shop in person, as I wanted to make sure that they were hygienic and compliant with health and safety, as not all the places are practicing correctly. So, the safest material to use is titanium and places who use surgical steel shouldn't really be doing that, as it can cause adverse ...  Read the complete review
