It’s a fashion statement. Has been in vogue since ages and is an increasingly growing trend today. It’s painful and permanent. Some do it to “belong”, some to “show-off”, while others do it simply as a way of decorating their bodies. But whatever be the reason, body piercing is a serious decision and requires that a person be informed and prepared. The fun and stylish look, can at certain times be accompanied by serious health risks which cannot be ignored.
Listed below are few points you must know before piercing:
Opt for a Professional
Once you have decided to get your body pierced, the first thing you have to find is a good professional piercer. The best and the safest option to get piercing done is from a professional piercer. Many people think that piercing can be done from the jeweller.

The professional piercers have right knowledge of the body anatomy and skills which are needed for piercing, so if you want to get piercing except the ears and nose; you know now where to go.
Right Jewellery
Choosing the right jewellery for piercing is very important. Everybody’s skin is different and the response to acceptance to the metal used for piercing too differs from person to person. Get yourself pierced with the kind of metal your skin has got used to, since the time you have been wearing jewellery. Wrong jewellery can lead to infection and hence one has to be very careful while choosing it. “Surgical steel jewellery is widely used for piercing which generally shows no allergic reaction”, says Arun, professional piercer, who run Al’s Tattooing and Piercing Studio in Mumbai. There are number of metals like gold, silver, titanium etc. which are also used for piercing.
Aftercare
The most ignored part after body piercing is the aftercare. The aftercare doesn’t mean the precautions you need to follow only for few days after piercing but the care till the time it heals completely. Every body part piercing has different aftercare procedure which needs to be followed. Your piercer will give you the detailed aftercare guidelines which have to be religiously followed.
