			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Ear Piercing" href="http://www.piercing-tips.com/category/ear-piercing/">Ear piercing</a> is a type of body modification. You can opt ear lob piercing or ear cartilage piercing. Both males and females are using body piercing to express their social status, sexuality and esthetic sense. In this article, I will give you some tips regarding ear piercing. First, you should be aware of appropriate tools for piercing. Many people use piercing guns as it makes the procedure quick and less painful. Despite of these apparent benefits gun can be very hazardous.</p>
<p>As these piercing guns cannot be sterilized properly, they can transmit many diseases. Reusable needles and guns can act as a vector to transfer infection from one person to other. Now days some piercer use specially designed guns, which have reduced the risk of disease transmission. However, I will suggest you, do not take any chances and go to an expert piercer. Most of the highly ranked piercing artists criticize the use of guns and prefer conventional piercing techniques. Another important tips is, never allow use of same instruments for cartilage and ear lob piercing, as these are two different types of piercing. Your ear lobs are soft and fatty tissues, where as cartilage is a type of bone. It is commonly observed that ear lob piercing guns have short needles which are not suitable for cartilage piercing. Use of these guns can damage the tissue around hole and can make the healing process complicated.</p>
<p>Now I will give you some tips related to hygiene of your pierced area. It is very important to wash your hair and body thoroughly before piercing. After piercing, prefer use of an antiseptic shampoo in order to avoid risk of infection. Never touch stud or hole with unwashed hands. Apply some antiseptic lubricant to accelerate healing process. Do not apply any thing without consultation of your doctor on pierced area. If you feel pain, swelling or pus around hole, consult your doctor. Slight pain and swelling in initial few days is quite normal and it is a part of normal healing process. During piercing tissue are damaged and our body react to this injury and tries to heal it. Mild pains and inflammations are a part of this healing process but you should keep an eye on situation. Any negligence can result in scarring, longer healing time and sever allergic reaction.</p>
<p>Most people are unaware of mettle toxicity. It is a very important aspect of ear piercing. A metallic stud or ring is use right after piercing in order to keep the hole open. Some metallic jewelry items are alloys of such mettles, which can release toxic substances into the tissues. These chemicals react with body tissues and start many server allergic reactions. Always ask your piercer to use nickel and lead free jewelry. As nickel and lead are poisonous mettles, use of these metallic alloys can be very dangerous.</p>
<p>Many times we can avoid complication by acting little wise. I suggest you to get complete details about piercing; do not experiment with your body. My last tip is, never follow any fashion blindly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Tongue Piercing" href="http://www.piercing-tips.com/category/tongue-piercing/">Tongue piercing</a> is the most popular choice among different kinds of body piercing in west. It is ranked high among different kinds of body modifications. Many people find it very seductive and an invitation for oral sex. It tempts the opposite sex and increases your sex appeal. As you pierce soft tissues of your tongue, you have to be take extra precautionary measures if you do not want to spoil it. Complete healing of your tongue can take a few months but first seven days are very crucial. Never compromise on the cost of piercing, as an untrained person can put you in great pain. Go to the top piercer in your locality and clear your all doubts about piercing. If your piercer is reluctant to talk about procedure or equipment used in piercing, quickly step out of the shop as such stubborn person can increase anxiety and stress.</p>
<p>On the first day of piercing, you will feel extreme pain and swelling. Do not panic, as it is the worst face of the healing, after this, the things will only get better. Try to rinse your mouth with mild mouthwash to keep it germ free. Do not brush your tongue for atleast first fifteen days. If you notice a layer of pale yellow dead cells on your tongue do not bother about it, it will disappear after healing. Do not eat hard or spicy food items, your tongue has to work more in order to lubricate and masticate dry food items, it will put extra load on your tongue. Try to use ice cubes in order to sooth your tongue but do not suck melting ice as it can damage your tongue.</p>
<p>By following these simple tips, you can avoid difficult situations. For example, many persons experience broken and damaged front teeth. Tongue barbells are made of metals and lead to teeth fracture. You have to visit dentist over and over gain for treatments. These can put extra burden on your pocket. In order to avoid such circumstances be careful in the selection of tongue jewelry items.</p>
<p>Your tongue demands regular care during and after the healing period. Regularly check your stud or screw as with the passage of time it can be loose and clog your windpipe. It can result in severe choking and damage your trachea badly. Some times barbells are swallowed with the morsel of food and damage your alimentary canal.</p>
<p>It is also observed that bad hygiene of your mouth result in prolong infections in mouth. Many times these infections spread to gums and palate. If you want look sexy with a pierced tongue, do not ignore hygiene of your mouth.  Avoid oral sex during healing period as it can transmit different germs, during piercing, your blood vessels are punctured and any kind of germs can get an easy access into your body. Regularly visit your piercer for after care suggestions and recommendations. If you feel that your wound is not healing properly, consult your doctor. Always use prescribed medicine; never apply home made solutions for faster healing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are doing ear and nose piercing since many centuries, <a title="cartilage piercing" href="http://www.piercing-tips.com/category/cartilage-piercing/">cartilage piercing</a> is comparatively a latest trend for us. In this type of piercing, we pierce hard connective tissues of our ears. As cartilage is harder than soft ear lobs, it takes more time to heal. If you will follow few basic tips, you can speedup the healing process without facing any difficult situation.</p>
<p>My first tip is, never go to an inexperienced person. You should always go to a person who is best in this business. In an effort to save few dollars you might have to spend many more on post treatments of infections. Piercing is a skill which requires proper training. There are many quacks, which have big boost and little roast to offer you. Beware of such fake persons, as cartilage piercing is a delicate procedure; you have to be very careful.</p>
<p>My second tip is, never try it yourself. Cartilage is a hard tissue and a slight mistake can result in a painful wound. At home, you do not have proper tools and you might try to do it with an unutilized needle, this can aggravate the situation. Always ask for a cartilage gun for this kind of piercing.</p>
<p>My third tip is, wash your hair properly with a mild antiseptic soap prior to piercing. Our hair have different microbes and dust particles which can contaminate the freshly pierced area. It is better to use an antiseptic shampoo and soap for bathing during the healing period. Minimum healing time is 12weeks and it can prolong to one whole year. Dry your ears thoroughly after taking bath. If any moisture is left in your ears, it can lead to infection.</p>
<p>My fourth tip is, do not try home remedies to fasten the healing procedure. Do not apply any tea tree oil or turmeric paste on your wound, these things are extremely harmful and are not recommended by doctors. You can ask your doctor to prescribe some medicines for you. A doctor can accurately analyze your situation and prescribe a suitable ointment or lotion to apply on the pierced area.</p>
<p>My fifth tip is, do not change the jewelry unless your pierced area is completely healed. Many times your body tissues cannot adapt to these frequent changes. A new mettle can provoke allergic reactions. Another important thing is that your jewelry must be free from toxic metals such as nickel and lead. Do not use too heavy jewelry items in the beginning as it can make the healing procedure slow.</p>
<p>I am very optimistic that after reading this article you can enjoy a safe cartilage piercing. One can look trendy and modern without bearing much pain. You can pierce your ear along the rim of ear or you can ask for a hole right across the ear cartilage. There are plenty of stylish earrings, hanging bells and studs, which you can use. It will give you a more contemporary look. Once your ear holes are completely healed, you can change your ear studs according to your clothing and accession.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="nose piercing" href="http://www.piercing-tips.com/category/nose-piercing/">Nose piercing</a> is one of the ancient types of modifications, which is equally popular in regal and common gentry.  It is although more common in south Asian countries but you can trace its trails in other civilizations as well. Initially piercing is done by a metallic needle but now different piercing guns and gadgets are used. The position of hole varies according to the customs and cultural values of different people. Some people prefer to have a hole on either side of the nostril, while other prefers to pierce the cartilage rim between the nostrils. In either case, use of proper equipment is very important. Flaps of your nostrils are soft tissues and ordinary piercing gun or needle can easily make a hole across it, contrary to this, cartilage is a hard bony tissue and specially design gun should be use to pierce it. Use of wrong equipment can cause pain, delayed healing or even infection.</p>
<p>Nose piercing is bit more painful as compared to ear piercing and take more time to heal. You have to take extra care during healing of pierced tissues to avoid any critical circumstances. I suggest you do not apply any numbing lotion, ointment or spray on your nose before piercing. These chemicals can have allergic reactions and you have to bear pain and infections for even longer period of time. I will suggest you few tips related to nose piercing in order have less painful and fast healing.</p>
<p>Before piercing take bath with an antibacterial soap and shampoo, apply a mild antiseptic ointment on your skin to make it free from germs. Go to a piercer that is best in town. Make sure he has formal training and suitable tools for piercing. Always insist on new needles for piercing guns as reused needles can transmit germs. When your wound is new do not touch it with dirty hands and do not rotate the jewelry frequently. Use a surgical steel or gold nose screw, as they are inert metals and do not provoke allergic reactions. There are many styles available for nose jewelry. You can use a stud, screw with gem stone fittings or barbells and hanging rings. You can choose one style that suits on your face. Do not follow the trend blindly consult a stylist to guide you about best-suited styles. You main focus is to enhance the beauty of your nose not to ruin it. A funky, decent or traditional nose piercing will only suits you if it complement you overall personality.</p>
<p>You have to clean your wound with an antiseptic solution and preferably use an antibacterial face wash. Take care of posture while sleeping as newly pierced nose can be gravely wounded from nose jewellery. Do not wipe your face with a towel or any other cloth as your nose pin can cling in its threads. It can lead to bleeding or even tearing of nose tissues. Do not use too heavy jewelry as it can put extra pressure on the pierced area. Once your nose is fully healed you can remove metallic jewelry before going to bed and can use a lightweight fiberglass pin, it will reduce the risk of piercing migration.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most famous of body piercing today is navel piercing. It is a known fact that popular culture has played a vital role in the promotion of belly piercing. This basically started off from a fashion show in London where a very famous model walked the ramp showing off her pierced midriff. The belly rings that come in variety of styles and colors are worn by the young teenagers today. There has been a growing fascination with this kind of piercing specially among the college going youngsters. The youngsters today, despite the gender, male and female, both are equally interested in such piercing which have become more related to modernism. It has been seen globally, that such fascination with piercing symbolizes a free spirited person with no inhibitions to his or her own body.</p>
<p>Although <a title="navel piercing" href="http://www.piercing-tips.com/category/navel-piercing/">navel piercing</a>, is done to make belly seem more noticeable and striking but there are few hazards which are involved. If infection takes place then moisture and bacteria together can form a lump. This can also take a couple of months to heal completely. Scarring of the skin tissue can also damage the skin from the surface and then forms different kinds of blemishing. This can be very harmful as it damages the skin and then leaves an everlasting scar on one’s skin. Sometimes accidents also occur while doing the piercing and can result in serious injuries. After bathing or swimming care must be taken not to touch the piercing as it can hurt and germs can enter your skin.</p>
<p>Navel can definitely be infested if appropriate hygiene and care has been not been taken. Piercing tools must be hygienic and anti-bacterial soap must be used to rinse it afterwards. Sea salt water is also recommended as it helps the curing process. Belly button piercing is usually mended in two to three stages, so the key is to take proper measures so that flow of blood and swelling doesn’t occur. Sooner or later, the skin heals and a hole is left. It is proposed to get the piercing done professionally as it is considered safe</p>
<p>Belly piercing overall is modish  and trendy way of making you look exclusive and high-class among the common community as not a greater amount of folks are doing it. Normally the trendy and stylish people are having it as they want to have a special spot to wear jewelry and ornaments. It cannot be stressed more how vital it is to have a piercer who has a proper license for piercing and uses clean and sterilized instrument so that people are out of danger. Because the needles are supposed to be sterilized otherwise viruses and infections are caught by people which in the long run can be extremely harmful and can adversely affects one’s health. The most hard put is the needle that punctures your skin afterwards when the jewelry is worn the skin is already numb so it doesn’t hurt that bad.</p>
<p>Navel piercing is a unique and exclusive experience and a gift to our society by the popular culture.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Historically, piercing of the lip is an old age custom among the tribes of Latin  America then later was followed by many African tribes from which it became well-known. There are different types of African tribes which carry out this fashion in different and unique ways. The most popular one is wearing a big disc on the lower lip as they believe that it beautifies one’s lips by making it big. There decorative discs hang until the lower lip takes on a bigger shape.</p>
<p>Although lips can be pierced in a variety of ways so the jewelry is quite exclusive to wear on the lips too. It can be gold or silver stud or even a plastic one depends on the individual’s choice. But the pop culture celebrities who opt for this kind of piercing wear expensive and exquisite gem stones for instance diamonds, emeralds and ruby. This of course is a sign of exceptionality and also to attract the youth to follow their ways to look trendy and hip.</p>
<p>The healing time of lip piercing varies from person to person and also the fact that how sensitive is a person’s skin. The aftercare of <a title="lip piercing" href="http://www.piercing-tips.com/category/lip-piercing/">lip piercing</a> cannot be stressed enough as the lips are connected to the mouth from where the food and water is entered to our body. Therefore, it is imperative to keep the lips clean and even the slightest of the mishandling of the piercer can really be a cause of deadly infection. Great amount of attention should be taken as gravest thing which is death can also occur due to bloody poisoning. Saline soaks are suggested to use to wash and clean the pierce at least two to three times a day. Even while eating and after eating the food, attention must be given to the food or oil particles that can seep into the pierce so it’s best to do a quick mouthwash and no food is left on your mouth. Jewelry should be worn very carefully as it can be sometimes very hurtful if the wound or a lymph has been formed. Use cotton balls to remove the internal extracts and dip again the cotton ball in saline or alcohol solution and then soak the wound for at least five minutes so all the germs and bacteria are dead. Even a homemade salt solution can be made with iodine, alcohol and strong soaps which can help the curing process.</p>
<p>There are also various categories of lip piercing that are taking place but it depends on shapes and sizes of the lips. Many people depend on single type of piercing but there are actually numerous types and you may want to get just one or you may want all of them. Chiefly, it is a matter of one’s own view and opinion that exactly how he or she wants an appearance to be carried and held by him or her.
