COOL PIERCING GIRL

Body piercing has become wildly popular as a bold fashion statement. However, there are numerous risks involved with these procedures and it is crucial that you take the proper precautions before engaging in any non-traditional piercing.

It’s one thing to have your ears pierced. Our earlobes are less sensitive to infection, and easier to clean and maintain than many other regions of the body.

But body piercing is a whole new ballgame, so to speak. To avoid severe infection, serious injury, and even Hepatitis C, it’s vital that you take this decision seriously and proceed with caution.

There have also been numerous reports of moderate to serious injury occurring during piercing procedures. Especially when jewelry is being inserted into the genitals, it only takes a slight inaccuracy to cause significant damage.

Even if the piercing procedure goes well and no infection occurs, there are still risks to consider. For instance, a 19-year-old man in the U.S. suffered a severely damaged urethra when a car accident ripped a small ring out of its resting place; the fellow’s doctor says he’ll have difficulty urinating for the rest of his life.

First of all, despite the proliferation of piercing studios all across North America, Europe, and Australia, very few service providers have actually undergone any formal training or licensing procedures. While certainly great skill can be achieved through informal practice, you are well within your rights to ask where and for how long any prospective piercing specialist learned his or her trade.
