Kinds of piercing

One could hardly find such spot on human body which had not ever been beautified in some way. There is no sense to discuss all kinds of piercing, as it would take forever only to describe all those hundreds and even thousands techniques. Let us try to recall at least the most popular body parts which use to undergo piercing. 

Ear piercing

This one is so common, traditional and wide-spread that practically is not even considered as piercing. But modern ear-piercing is quite diverse. More than often people perforate their ear lobs, and what is especially cool among fans is to insert thick cylinders of 3 cm in diameter in their ear-lobs. Not far behind is an idea about multiple ear-rings inside the ear cartilage and even in this little knob just above the exit from ear-canal – it calls “tragus”.
Ear piercing is quick enough to heal. Lob piercing could heal between 1 - 2 weeks, but if you had your cartilage pierced, then aftertime could be longer – up to two months and more.
If you are offered in your saloon to have any punching done with the gun, do not agree – all kinds of piercing have to be made with special needle. You can see Ear Piercing

Navel Piercing

This kind of piercing is the most popular one. Can anybody imagine modern gal without this shiny “curlie-wurlie” widget in the very centre of her tummy, much more if beauty’s belly itself is worthy of showing off! Photo models, pop-artists, actresses – all of them are long sporting these “bells and whistles”. Navel piercing is not presenting too many options, and yet, whoever goes for an exclusive can find saloons offering not only vertical piercing for tiny bananas and ringlets, but also double and triple perforations. Oh, it probably should be mentioned that belly button piercing is the one which normally does not shock fashion plate’s parents and the rest of slowcoach family elderly. Still, think twice before you rush for navel piercing. There is sadly known medical case when this procedure was about to cause bad complication in 13-year old girl with congenital heart disease. Piercing Specialist did not care to ask the girl about her inborn or chronic conditions and here it was: life-threatening infectious endocarditis developed right after the piercing. Usually, it would be enough for people with congenital heart condition to take preventive antibiotic course after the piercing. Healing lasts for up to 4-5 months, and after this one can insert or take out this adornment any time. But remember, going for sports and especially abdominal muscle exercising is strictly prohibited during the healing time. You can see Belly Rings, Navel Piercing 

Nose piercing

Actually, to put the ring in the nose is quite popular now, too. Especially cool-looking is this romantic hole in the nostril! Fairly tricky is to pierce nasal septum – far not every saloon would agree to get involved with this, as it requires certain skills from the Specialist. 
Main question young girls would be interested in when longing to acquire such special adornment anyway, is about the way to put their make-up on while wearing the ring. Will it or will it not interfere? Really, from what they say after the nose-piercing, there are some difficulties in dealing with powder and foundation, especially right after the procedure, because fresh punch has to be kept clean. That’s why such kind of piercing is not for those not seeing themselves without full-blast make-up. You can see Nose piercing

Eyebrow piercing

You would not meet this one too often. Such piercing normally is not for the first-timers, but for veterans with 2 or 3 piercing ventures history. Very few of them would limit themselves to single one punch. Eyebrow piercing is quite quick to heal (in about 1 month), but painful and complex to the extent that it makes many to back-off. Probably, this is the reason why such piercing is much more appreciated by male generation. You can see Eyebrow piercing

Tongue piercing and lips piercing

Here human fantasy is gone far. Lips are pierced practically on every possible spot, so is the tongue, in which the adornments are placed in few ways as well. These kinds of piercing are taking about 1-2 months to heal, but there is a problem: during the first period of 10-15 days you will have quite serious difficulties with eating and speaking. For entire time of after-care you will have to forget about taking anything hot, cold, spicy, sweet, sour, solid and alcohol-containing. To be honest, you will be just plain uncomfortable with eating. Moreover, after the piercing of lips or tongue, expect your diction to be somewhat different for 3-4 days. On the other hand, there is rewarding bright side in late-operational period. Usually, whoever had their lips or tongue pierced, are losing 1-2 kg in first two weeks.

Nipple piercing

Before, historically, it was mainly male kind of piercing – this was considered as some token or attribute of manhood and strength. Now it serves for all the different purposes. According to proven evidences, this is the way to sharpen the sexual perception. Also, after the puncture the nipple becomes somewhat larger, what makes the problem of inverted nipple become history and be gone for good – if there ever was the one. If you consider future breastfeeding, you should know that nipple piercing would not affect your baby in any way. The puncture will heal in about 1-3 months. You can see Nipple piercing

Genitals piercing

Women who are brave to go with this kind of piercing usually strive for their sexual feelings enchancement. To achieve this, they usually pierce their clitoris or the skinfold above it. This specific procedure targets inner erogenic zones in terms of their stimulation during the intercourse - or by some other ways. Also, sometimes the piercing may be made on vulvar lips, but rather with decorative purposes. Such puncture takes almost no time to heal – some one month.No lovemaking before the healing is complete! 

Male intimate piercing is much more diverse: punctured foreskin, balanus, in vertical and horizontal punctures, or Prince Albert puncture, when the ringlet is going through urethra, and more to this - it’s quite often when testicles and bridles are pierced. Healing time and aftercare are the same as with female intimate piercing. But one could sure see a difference: main objective of male intimate piercing is to sky-rocket this special sexual perception in female partners – it’s clear, male piercing is less self-oriented and egoistic, as all they care about is partner’s wellness!

Exotic piercing

This one includes inserting the metal chips or slices under the skin (implantation), the scull soft tissues perforation – of course, in purpose to have one’s brain stimulated! – also, planting these big “trinketry” in the bridge of the nose. All of these could be named exotic piercing, risky one for health and life itself. 
Such piercing is not practiced by regular saloons and you wouldn’t find them in the price-list. Consider this: it’s quite costly, and yet far not everyone would agree to puncture your scull for these few hundreds bucks, but it will be no one but you who will go through the entire ordeal of aftercare and treatment. Be careful, and if you have guts to go for this risky adventure – at least don’t be lazy to find yourself real Specialist.
