Piercing is a practice that has been present since the ancient times, and it is still alive and well today. In modern times Body Piercing Jewelry has become more popular because of the increase in popularity of body piercings as a form of fashion. The growing body piercing jewelery industry is worth millions of dollars annually. With its increasing popularity there has also been an increase in knowledge about Body Piercing Jewelry.
If you are thinking about getting body piercing jewellery, whether it be a metal or plastic stud, there are some important facts that you must know before you start the process. All metals can have bacteria on them and therefore it is important that you make sure that you practice proper hygiene when you have your body pierced. For all metal studs, you should be sure that the place you have your stud in has been properly sterilized, or have a piece of dental steel that you can use to clean it, before you start working.
For those who have chosen to get a metal body piercing, be sure that you research the healing processes involved so that you will know which piercings heal at a faster rate and which ones do not. For most people who have chosen to get body piercing, either a gold or silver stud, they are looking for something that is attractive but durable, as well as something that will last through their lives without falling apart or without requiring constant replacement. As with any piercing, it is important that you clean your body piercing jewellery before and after each time you wear it. If you do not clean it properly then you will not only cause a skin irritation, but you will also weaken the integrity of the piercing, meaning it could easily break, meaning it could fall off, leaving you without your favourite body piercing jewellery. You should also be aware that there are different types of metals that you can get your body piercing in, so that means you need to be aware of what the advantages and disadvantages are for each type of metal before you go ahead and choose a specific one for you.
It is also important to find out what sort of piercing your body piercing jewellery will heal through, because it is with such jewellery that you will feel both the good and bad effects of whatever your body piercings may be. For instance, gold earrings are usually very durable and can heal themselves if they take a few days, whereas silver can take a much longer time to heal, because of the slow process involved in silver, which helps to make it more pliable. Also, it is important to remember that some earrings heal through only one session of food processing while other earrings require multiple sessions. For those earrings that heal through multiple sessions, they usually cost more money than jewellery that heals only one time.
In addition to the benefits of being able to tell how long your body piercing jewellery will last, it is also useful to know whether you can do away with the jewellery without any harmful surgical procedures taking place. For instance, earrings can be removed during surgical operations, but there are some earrings, like a nose ring, that cannot be removed in any way. With regards to body piercings that are not removable, you should be aware of what your options are in terms of surgical procedures that you can have done to help you heal properly. For example, if you have a wound in your skin that is not healing properly, you can opt to have laser surgery or collagen injections done in order to help heal your wound.
One thing you should also be aware of is that when you get a piercing, you should refrain from having any jewellery on your body until at least three weeks after the piercing, unless you are planning to use body piercing jewellery on your next tattoo or piercing session. This is because the first week after a piercing, your body is very sensitive and you need some time to heal any possible infections or other complications that could occur. If you do decide to wear body piercing jewellery during this time period, you should make sure that you wash your hands well afterwards and try to avoid touching your wound with your fingers as much as possible. Once you have healed enough, you can then put back your piercings.
