			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The tragus piercing is punctured right under the area where the ear piercing lies. Today, this type of piercing is extremely common and considered fashion as well as this is a fairly new state of piercing developed. Even though these piercings existed in the ancient times as well, it seems as if retro fashion is hitting the streets and people are turning back to what they used to appreciate before. Normally, tribes used to get tragus piercings and this can be seen till today as well.</p>
<p>The tragus is located at the start of the ear of a human. It is the front of the extended part of the starting of the ear canal that juts out. It is the sensitive area of the ear that can also be pointed as the cartilaginous region and needs to be dealt with by professionals only. A special needle known as the lower gauge needle is used when piercing the tragus and the height of pain depends on every individual. However, the tragus piercing takes more time than the normal piercings to heal, i.e. a year is the maximum time it can take.</p>
<p>As mentioned, stress is laid upon the fact that only professionals should pierce the tragus since it is a sensitive area of the ear and piercing it can cause a lot of pain and normally, people tend to jerk in such circumstances. A professional makes sure that not a lot of pain is experienced and even if a person does react due to the shock, no other area of the body contacts the needle as this can result in an even worse scenario.</p>
<p>Even though this procedure is almost like the rest of the procedures, it comes with a lot with more complications than any other type of piercings. It is due to this reason that it is advised to take all the necessary precautions possible to assure yourself the safest tragus piercing.</p>
<p>Where other piercings do not restrict you to any type of jewelry, you should be very careful when choosing your tragus piercing jewelry. It should not only be soft but it is better that bead and rings are used. Materials such as gold wash and steel would make your tragus piercing look very decent. Today, this trend of getting their tragus pierced is more commonly found in men rather than women. As art has evolved in to a lot more than paintings, piercing has become a part of this category and both the sexes enjoy the benefits of it.</p>
<p> Most of the women who have their tragus pierced are to show of the other pieces of their jewelry with much more ease. This is because your tragus piercing compliments your other ear rings. Make sure that your piercing stays in shape and for this, buy yourself a stud that gives it this form. As the jewel is inserted, your piercing will be free from any infections possible at the initial stages of this type of a piercing. A newly found craze slowly developing, tragus piercings are yet another form of stylish statements that individuals make.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Tongue piercing has started to become as an everyday fashion in the West. Where people think that it is the hormones that trigger this fashion in teenagers, this has started to become a new trend instead of just hormones over reacting. A unique statement that is made a bit too loudly for some, this has started to become common now and people have started to accept tongue piercing as a new fashion statement.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Tongue piercing has not been discovered in this century or the recent time but in fact, it ages to ancient cultures of the Aztecs and Maya where the practice of this fashion initially began. However, at that time tongue piercing meant a lot more than just a unique style. It was taken as an act to make their Gods happy and satisfied with his creations and the people used to pierce their tongue in order to loose some blood so that god’s thirst was satisfied. It is because of these facts that tongue piercing is related to different measures. It is true that tongue piercing is the most painful form of piercing.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Different styles of tongue piercing exist today that include the normal tongue piercing, double pronged tongue piercing, frenulum and snake eye piercing.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The normal tongue piercing is puncture at least 2 cm’s from the tip of the tongue and whatever jewelry you wear is not suppose to be near the teeth. Whereas the venom bite or double pronged piercing is the one where both sides of the tongue are pierced and this is the most painful type of piercing that one could get.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Frenulum piercing is done in the area underneath the tongue that is called the frenulum and therefore, the name exists. The last form of piercing, the snake eye piercing is the gentlest for of tongue piercing as it is done where a horizontal curve is made by the tip of the tongue.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">A lot care should be taken of before omitting to tongue piercing as serious matters such as infections, swellings, bleeding, and fracture of the teeth are included and these can be really painful to get rid of. Consult a specialist before undergoing this type of a piercing and even after you are done with it. After you have gotten your tongue pierced, make sure that you take in a lot of cold beverages and ice as well. It will take the normal amount of time for this piercing to heal, like any other. This means that waiting four weeks before actually deciding whether this is medically right for you or not is important because living with this piercing for four weeks without any serious pain means that you can easily maintain the piercing then. However, oral risks are always assisted with this type of a piercing. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">After the healing period time, you can always feel free to change your jewelry to anything that you like. Just be sure that whatever you are wearing is sterilized and hygienic and will not cause any problems for you.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nose piercing is a fashion statement that is followed in every part of the world, no matter what age a person is. Where people might think that this is popular in women, men share an equal interest in making similar fashion statements. Nose piercing is of three types: nasal septum piercing, bridge piercing and nostril piercing.</p>
<p>Nasal septum piercing is the one which is done at the cartilage, which is the separation between the nostrils. The skin located near the septum is pierced because of the thinness that it has and this procedure is considered as the least painful one. Normally, people wear bead rings in this piercing and variation between sizes is normal. Therefore, you can change your ring at any time and make statements on your on.</p>
<p>Bridge piercing is the most uncommon type of piercing that is rarely found. It is located on the upper area of the nose right in between the eyes. This type of piercing comes with numerous risks that include infections and scars. A barbell is used to make this piercing but as a precaution, you should take in as many details as possible that you can find because the risks are higher than any other type of piercing.</p>
<p>Nostril piercing is now commonly found in regions such as India, where they believe that getting your nose pierced means having lesser labor pains. Previously, during the ancient times, nostril piercing was considered as differentiating between the status of the warriors and other reasons that included religion as well. Now, the 21<sup>st</sup> century has evolved to this extent that these piercing are considered stylish instead of elevating anyone’s status. Nostril piercing is amongst the most common type of piercing that one can come across. You have the option of piercing either one of the nostrils as there are no rules to restrict your and it is completely up to you how you feel comfortable. However, choosing the right place to pierce is highly important because if you are going through it, you would want to make sure that it looks perfect. Nostril piercing normally has studs or rings in them and the options are huge; from elegant to trendy, the choice is all yours.</p>
<p>After you are through with your nose piercing, you need to make sure that you take the utmost care of it so that it does not result in a swollen or bleeding nose. Extra care needs to be taken during the first 8 weeks and you should make sure that your piercing is clean and saline at least twice a day. Continuously touching your piercing will not do you any good and because some people have the tendency to unconsciously even adopt this as a habit, make sure that you have clean hands before testing if the piercing is perfect. You will need to take extra precaution when it comes to cleaning your face with the towel or even blowing your nose as the wrong step will make you suffer unbearable pain. Ice can be a component to heal any type of swelling on your nose and if the condition gets worse, you should seek advice from your doctor.</p>
