Tips for Buying Safe and Sterile Body Piercing Jewelry
Nowadays, the trend of body modification seems to be at its peak. You can see teenagers and youngsters roaming the streets flaunting beautiful jewelry on their pierced lips, nose, chin or eyebrows, and stretched earlobes.
Piercing and stretching are body modifications.
Different types of body modification accessories and attractive jewelry are used to adorn the modified body parts.
As it is an extreme fashion, in which body parts are cut or infused and metallic jewelry is used, the pieces of equipment used during the modification and the jewelry must be of high quality material.
There are many points to think about when going for body modification and buying body jewelry, which are outlined below:
Know which metals are safe. For piercing, the ideal metals are stainless and implant steel, titanium, niobium, and solid gold 14 karat or higher. You can also consider wearing jewelry made from acrylic, Pyrex, plastic, and wood.
However, you should be very careful when purchasing wood piercing jewelry as there is a high chance that it may react with the wound and increase the risk of allergies and reactions. Metals to AVOID are: sterling silver, copper and nickel.
If you are going to stretch your earlobe, you may want to consider buying cheap ear gauges from a reputable seller or supplier.
However, you should make sure that the wholesale ear gauge supplier has ear gauge kits made from kosher materials. Safe and acceptable materials for ear stretching kits are: stainless steel, titanium, acrylic, marble, etc.
Buy only the real piercing jewelry.. The best way to avoid risk of danger is to buy only real ornaments to adorn your modified body parts.
Never wear piercing jewelry worn by someone else.. If necessary, sterilize it well in the proper way.
Do not use oils and solutions not recommended for lubrication when stretching earlobes. It can cause infections and serious injuries during the operation. Also, learn the details and care tips from YouTube tutorials before stretching your earlobes.
Ask the piercer about the possible health risk.. Piercing for some people could be risky. They cannot resist the pain that occurs during and after the operation. The pain from the piercing and stretching of the wound is increased only by panic. And creating panic greatly affects your health. It also interrupts the operator, which can lead to serious errors. Also, due to the severe pain, you may have a fever for a couple of days.
Check if your piercer has a sterilization device available at their facility. When you go to pierce, you should ask the operator if a sterilization device is available. If not, you’d better visit some other piercing shop.
To escape infection and accident, you should only visit a professional and experienced piercer. They will do it in the expert way, reducing the chances of making mistakes.
