Question 1

What is body piercing and how is it done?

Accepted Answer

A body piercing is a piercing or small hole made in the body using a sterilised needle; a piece of jewellery is normally inserted through the hole to keep it open while it heals.

What are the different types of body piercings?

Almost any part of the body can be pierced, and they neatly fall into the following six categories: ears, facial, genital, lip, oral, surface.

Question 3

How do I care for a new piercing?

Accepted Answer

Your piercing technician is best placed to advise you on how to care for your new piercing, but as a rule of thumb, you should clean your new piercing at least twice a day, washing your hands first, then cleansing the front and back of the piercing with a cotton pad that’s been dipped in sterile saline solution. You should also avoid touching your piercing until it’s fully healed, and you should try not to remove the piercing jewellery as it could cause the hole to shrink.

Question 4

How do I care for a new body piercing?

Accepted Answer

Aftercare typically includes cleaning with sterile saline solution 2–3 times daily, avoiding touching with unwashed hands, not rotating the jewellery, and keeping the area dry. Your piercer will provide specific aftercare instructions based on the piercing location.
