Piercing Preparations
Posted on 15. Mar, 2010 by admin in Fashion Tips
No matter what type of piercing you get – whether it is a facial piercing such as nose, ear, or lip, or a body piercing such as navel or nipple – there are several rules you should follow prior to getting your piercing done.
The main one is don’t drink alcohol before going to get pierced. Alcohol thins your blood and can result in excessive bleeding from the wound of your piercing. Also if you appear drunk any professional piercist will refuse work on you. So as tempting as it may be (even for dutch courage) avoid all alcohol consumption.
You also need to make sure you have thought your piercing through and it is definitely something you want. Never get a piercing just because you are copying someone else – it should be your own decision and something that you are sure about. Although piercings can be removed, sometimes they can leave small marks or scars on the body.
If you are unsure then you could always take a trip to a reputable piercing studio, they should be able to offer a free consultation and discuss with you what to expect on the day and the types of body jewellery available if you do go through with it. Good luck with your new piercing!
