What to Expect When Getting Ear Piercings & Other Body Piercing Tips
Often identified with counter-culture, body piercing is a practice that helps modern day humans reconnect with the heritage of past traditions while creating a unique avenue for symbolic self-expression. The use of pain as a transcendental experience, jewelry being the proof of that process, is not a new thing under the sun. Men and women have since ancient times used piercing in religious practices, to signify ownership or devotion, or to add a little zing to their sex life.
Modern piercing is done mainly two ways: either with a piercing gun or a hand-held needle. There is some debate as to the safety of the gun method; there is no way that the instrument can be properly sterilized without destroying it. Nonetheless, a piercing is created in the earlobe, the cartilage, the septum - or many, many other places - by punching a hole in the skin and inserting a piece of jewelry.
In these free body piercing videos, learn what to expect when you go to get pierced. Aside from the type of piercing and the location, safety and hygiene are of the utmost importance. Since the piercing artist will be performing a minor type of surgery, it is paramount that regulations regarding health and sanitation practices are strictly observed. Get tips on what to look for when you get pierced, learn about the piercing procedure, and watch a few people get pierced themselves.
