| Is It Painful Getting Your Body Pierced? |
|
 | |
 |
In recent years Body Jewely has become popular as an alternative way of expressing oneself. However, as the old saying goes, 'no pain, no gain'. The same is true
when it comes to body piercing, as many parts of the body are a
little more than uncomfortable when the needle penetrates the
skin. As distasteful as it may be, a piercing is nothing more
than a puncture wound with a piece of jewelry inserted into the
hole. Many individuals would seriously consider body piercing,
but the potential for pain is too much for the weak of heart.
In most instances, the pain associated with the actual piercing
is not nearly as extreme as believed.
The best way to determine the amount of pain associated with a
specific type of body piercing is to ask someone who has
experienced the pain firsthand. This is also an excellent way
to determine if you really want to have that specific part of
your body pierced, since a pierced individual will be able to
inform you of any complications, infection, or problems he or
she has experienced with the body piercing.
Another way to determine the amount of pain associated with a
body piercing is to speak with a piercer. These individuals who
pierce a variety of body parts for a living are usually able to
walk you through the entire process from cleaning the needle to
the healing process.
Generally, tongue piercings are generally thought to be the
most painful, but in actuality, many believe the belly button
to be the most painful area to be pierced. The tongue has a
tremendous healing capacity, allowing it to quickly bounce back
from any sort of trauma. Generally, tongue piercing is most
associated with swelling, but little bleeding or pain. Belly
buttons (i.e. for Silver Navel Rings or popular Silver Dangling Navel Rings) tend to have the greatest problems associated with
piercing since the belly button takes an extremely long time to
heal. Often, the belly button can take up to one year to heal
completely, and is often prolonged due to the position on the
body. Jewelry is likely to become snagged on clothing,
therefore irritating the wound further.
Most piercers use a type of cooling spray or numbing lotion
that will temporarily freeze the area and prevent pain. Ask the
piercing parlor where you intend to have your piercing done to
see if this is an option. Also, many piercers use well
practiced techniques to lessen the pain as much as possible.
If you are concerned about the pain, bring a friend or
companion to accompany you on your piercing adventure. Be sure
to avoid taking any medications or alcohol before you visit a
piercer, since piercers will not allow you into their salon if
they believe you to be under the influence of any potential
medications.
