Most
body piercing is done out of tattoo shops. This can be daunting,
but
|
|
|
|
|
these
days most tattoo shops are a far cry from the sleazy rundown places
|
|
|
|
|
of
yesteryear. Reputable shops have comfortable, clean, private areas
in which
|
|
|
|
|
the
piercing is done. Some resemble a Doctors Surgery.

An experienced
body piercer is essential for anyone considering a new
|
|
|
|
|
piercing. The
only way to ensure a safe and comfortable experience is to have
|
|
|
|
|
a knowledgeable piercer.
The piercer should demonstrate proper sterilization
|
|
|
|
|
techniques,
recommend appropriate jewelry and placement, go over aftercare
|
|
|
|
|
thoroughly and
leisurely and be able to answer all questions that you ask.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Beware of
piercing guns. They are inappropriate for body piercing, and
are
|
|
|
|
|
indeed often
unsuitable for even a basis ear piercing. Ear piercing studs are
|
|
|
|
|
dull,
causing undue trauma at the piercing site.This can result in scarring,
pain
|
|
|
|
|
and
or infection. The piercing studs are also usually far too short
to be able to
|
|
|
|
|
accommodate
initial swelling, which can result scarring, severe discomfort,
|
|
|
|
|
abscess
or migration ( rejection). Ear piercing guns cannot be sterilized,
and
|
|
|
|
|
are
usually only passably disinfected. This means that there is an alarming
|
|
|
|
|
possibility
that blood products ( potentially infected with HIV, Hepatitis C
or
|
|
|
|
|
other
communicable diseases ) can remain on the instrument and be passed
|
|
|
|
|
from
client ot client.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Professional
piercers use brand-new, very sharp one-time-use needles,
|
|
|
|
|
ranging
from 16 gauge and up. Anything smaller than 16 gauge can produce
|
|
|
|
|
the
"cheese-cutter" effect and easily be torn from a fresh
piercing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Things
to look for in any reputable piercing establishment. A shop
should
|
|
|
|
|
absolutely
have a reliable autoclave on the premises, and offer the results
of
|
|
|
|
|
its
most recent spore test upon demand. Spore testing is a method of
testing
|
|
|
|
|
the
autoclave's ability to kill spores, to make sure that the device
is working
|
|
|
|
|
properly.
In a spore test, the operator sends an autoclave sample to a lab.
All
|
|
|
|
|
respectable
shops keep a copy of these results displayed conspicuously for
|
|
|
|
|
clients
to be able to see. Piercing needles should be new, never re-used
and
|
|
|
|
|
certainly
never used on more than one person. Clamps, and any instruments
|
|
|
|
|
used
during the piercing procedure, as well as lewelry, should be autoclaved,
|
|
|
|
|
or
sterilized with a glutaraldehyde-based germicide, at a minimum,
prior to use.

|
|
|
|
|

|
Any
material that cannot be safely autoclaved must be treated with
a
|
|
|
|
|
germicide
to ensure sterilization. Cleaning and disinfecting via boiling water,
|
|
|
|
|
rubbing
alcohol or hydrogen peroxide is not enough to kill blood products.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Piercers
should wear latex gloves at all times during a procedure, and
also
|
|
|
|
|
change
gloves each and every time there is a possibility of contamination.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By
working with a responsible piercer... potential piercing
candidates can
|
|
|
|
|
be
assured of ther own safety and well-being. Knowing the risks and
how to
|
|
|
|
|
avoid
them reduces the likelihood of pain, infection and even disease.
That
|
|
|
|
|
eyebrow
piercing can last for years... Or as long as it is cool to have
one.
