Tips And Precautions About Body Piercing Atlanta

By Ruthie Calderon


If you put a hole in your body somewhere with a needle, then you are getting a body piercing. Body piercing Atlanta are often looked on as modern cultural symbols. But it is certainly not something that should be done without a lot of thought. There are many precautions that should be taken before undertaking such a procedure.

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.

Be sure to wash the area with antibacterial soap. Check to see that you are current on your immunizations, especially hepatitis and tetanus. Make sure the needle that is being used is new and clean. You should consider, when choosing a doctor to see after the piercing, how far accessible the doctor is. If you have symptoms such as pus, change in skin color around the modification area, or prolonged bleeding, go to the Doctor immediately.

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.

Be sure to keep the pierced area dry. Sweat, saliva, and other body fluids can cause infection. While you are healing, always wear clean clothes and change your bed sheets regularly. With ear piercings, make sure you clean your phone. If you wear glasses, wash the arm bands regularly. If your mouth has threaded jewelry, be sure to check it twice a day to make sure the ends are tight. Avoid make up around your face and neck if you have ear and cartilage piercings which are healing. Keep the pierced part covered when using hair spray. Use antibacterial mouth wash that does not have alcohol with tongue or lips piercings, and be sure to rinse out your mouth after eating.

In order to avoid allergic reactions or infections, piercers say you should choose non-toxic metals such as 14 carat gold, surgical steel, niobum or titanium. The healing time of a modification depends on your body's resistance. You can ask someone who has the same piercing to gain an idea of the length of time involved.

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!
