Lip Piercing Facts

by admin

Today, a lot of people, including some celebrities, wear lip rings because of the way it allows them to express themselves.

Although it may give you the bad girl or bad boy appeal that you would like to portray, do take note that going through lip piercing is no joke. It is a decision that involves facing risks and consequences that might cause you to regret your actions later. Also, you have to remember that a lip piercing isn’t something that you can just remove after you have grown tired of it. So, if you’re still up to getting a lip piercing, here are some things you need to take note of before going through it.

Who and Where? Ask around and pick an artist who is well-recommended. Make sure that he has a certificate from the Association of Professional Piercers (APP). This is an organization of piercing artists that make safety rules that prevent you from incurring health risks due to piercing.

Also, pick a piercing salon that is clean and has artists who sanitize their hands before doing a piercing. You should also make sure that they use sterilized needles in sealed packages and not a piercing gun. Remember that piercing guns cannot be sterilized and if they use one on you, you’re bound to get an infection from your piercing.

The Placement Since you will be living with it for the rest of your life, you should know where you want to have your lip piercing done. Putting a lip ring on your lower lip is very much recommended because it doesn’t have any contact with your gums and wouldn’t cause any damages in this area in the future.

You can also have a labret stud on the area below your lower lip. This is also called a labret. Because the flat disk is squeezed between the back of the lip and the gums, the placement of this lip piercing is very important because it can hurt your gums. If you’re feeling adventurous, it is also possible to put a labret stud above the upper lip. Because it is related to the placement of Marilyn Monroe’s beauty mark, it is called a Monroe piercing.

 And, if you are a very daring person, you can also opt for Angelbites, which consists of two upper lip piercings on both sides of the lip. Only labret studs can be used for this type of lip piercing. Snakebites, on the other hand, are just like Angelbites. The difference is that Snakebites are found on the opposite sides of the lower lip and both rings and studs can be used for this type of lip piercing. Before choosing any of these placements, it would be a good idea to imagine what it would be like to have them on your mouth.

After all, you wouldn’t want to get a lip piercing that would affect the way you speak, eat or drink.

The Popularity of Body Jewelry

by admin

Have you ever been at the airport and seen someone with so many piercings and body jewelry that they set off the metal detectors? I know it may seem funny, but for some this really is the case.

Over the past 15 years, body piercing had literally taken over the fashion jewelry scene. It seems that those days have passed, but is the trend completely over?I believe the answer is both yes and no. The days of piercing every body part with jewelry is no longer fashionable, but body jewelry is more accepted in many regards. Having pierced ears, eyebrows and belly buttons are not so “out there” as they once were.

In most all fashion circles these minor jewelry piercings are still very popular and will likely remain that way for years to come. Of course, certain piercings will never become an accepted standard and that is probably a good thing.

Jewelry for the ears will always be fashionable, as well as eyebrows and navels as long as it is done within reason and not in excess.

Body piercings and body jewelry, in particular, have become a way of life for many people. To believe it will go away in the future is false expectation.Although body jewelry is certainly not for everyone, it does have its place in the world of fashion.

Ins and Outs of Body Piercing

by admin

Body piercing  has become such a popular form of body modification that between five and ten percent of the population of the United States has indulged in at least one form of it at some time in their lives. In most cases, once a person gets a body piercing, they follow the first one with more. There are lots of considerations; however, for making sure that your body piercing is done safely so that you dont end up with either an infection or a poorly done piercing that could leave an unsightly scar.

It aint ear piercing, honey The procedure for a good body piercing isnt the same is for getting your earlobes pierced. Most earlobe piercings that you see done in a mall or jewelry store involve using a piercing gun that quickly shoots the actual earring post through the earlobe.

This may be fine for an area of the body that has soft tissue and is easily pierced, but it isnt a good idea for other parts of the body for a few reasons.

First, it isnt as accurate as a needle, so lining it up wont always work. Just as with any gun, there is a recoil that will make the aim inaccurate.

Second, the force of the gun will cause bruising and damage to the skin that isnt necessary and will slow the healing process.

Third, a piercing gun cant be sterilized completely, so there is a higher risk of infection. The message is clear - never get a body piercing done with a piercing gun.

Always go to a professional who follows procedures approved by the Association of Professional Piercers (APP).

Once you get to the piercing parlor, there are several steps to the body piercing process that will take place to ensure both the success of the piercing and your health and safety. Each of these steps should be followed and nothing skipped.
