The Best Example Of Body Art: Piercing

There’s nothing wrong for sterilization

Published on March 02, 2010 by Harry Heiti (OfficialWire) LOS ANGELES, CA

Over the past few years, body art has become popular for lots of people, and it's hard to walk around campus, go to the mall, or watch TV without seeing someone with a body piercing or a tattoo, as described by www.DrNumb.com .Whether it's ears, lips, nostrils, eyebrows, belly buttons, tongues, or even cheeks, you've probably seen piercings — maybe multiple piercings — on lots of people.

You might think body piercings look cool and you've thought about getting one. But are they safe? Are they a good idea? And what should you be aware of if you do decide to get one?

If the person performing the piercing provides a safe, clean, and professional environment, this is what you can expect from getting a body part pierced:

• The area you've chosen to be pierced (except for the tongue) is cleaned with a germicidal soap (a soap that kills disease-causing bacteria and microorganisms).
• Your skin is then punctured with a very sharp, clean needle.
• The piece of jewelry, which has already been sterilized, is attached to the area.
• The person performing the piercing disposes of the needle in a special container so that there is no risk of the needle or blood touching someone else.
• The pierced area is cleaned.
• The person performing the piercing checks and adjusts the jewelry.
• The person performing the piercing gives you instructions on how to make sure your new piercing heals correctly and what to do if there is a problem.

Making Sure the Piercing Shop Is Safe and Sanitary

Body piercing is regulated in some states but not others. Although most piercing shops try to provide a clean and healthy environment, some shops might not take proper precautions against infections or other health hazards.

If you decide to get a body piercing, do a little investigative work about a shop's procedures and find out whether it provides a clean and safe environment for its customers. Every shop should have an autoclave (a sterilizing machine) and should keep instruments in sealed packets. Ask questions and make sure:

• the shop is clean
• the person doing the piercing washes his or her hands with a germicidal soap
• the person doing the piercing wears fresh disposable gloves (like those worn at a doctor's office)
• the person doing the piercing uses disposable or sterilized instruments
• the person doing the piercing does not use a piercing gun (they're not sterile)
• the needle being used is new and is being used for the first time
• the needle is disposed of in a special sealed container after the piercing
• there are procedures for the proper handling and disposal of waste (like needles or gauze with blood on it)

It's also a good idea to ask about the types of jewelry the shop offers because some people have allergic reactions to some types of metals. Before you get a piercing, make sure you know if you're allergic to certain metals or not.

Just imagine avoiding unnecessary pains and getting what you have to get done...and the amazed looks on your friends', colleagues' and families' when they find out that you had everything done without pain!!Think about how much happier you would know you are one of the majorities to do it the "Smart Way"
