Love for Body Jewelry

In selecting jewelry for your tongue piercings, style shouldn’t be the only deciding factor. It should also be appropriately sized and made of body-friendly materials. In fact, experts point out that these things are more important than the looks, so it’s something you need to focus on when choosing your tongue jewelry.

It’s all in the size

There are some standard sizes you will have to use in tongue rings. Keep in mind that tongue piercings are typically done at 14 gauge, which means it’s probably the jewelry size you will need.

Length is also very important. For example, if you use straight barbells, the length of the jewelry should be the length of the barbell between the balls. Typically, initial tongue jewelry will be a 7/8 inch straight barbell, leaving room to account for swelling.

The length could eventually be adjusted to a smaller size once the swelling stops. This is also the time you can get your proper tongue jewelry. Typical tongue jewelry will be a straight barbell 5/8 inches in length.

What’s the material used?

There are many cheap jewelry pieces offered out there, often made of dubious materials. This fact makes it even more vital to be careful when it comes to oral piercings. Oral piercings are inside your mouth and they come in contact with the inside of your body, so it’s absolutely important to use only medical-grade and safe body jewelry.

You need body-friendly jewelry materials, some of which include Surgical Steel, Titanium or Gold. Also make sure that they are all made of medical-grade materials and not their cheaper variants. For instance, steel should never be stainless steel. You need to use Surgical Steel, preferably the medical-grade.

Titanium, on the other hand, is generally a safe material, but it’s best to still stick to the high-quality, medical-grade titanium.

As for gold materials, make sure that the one you choose is body-friendly. Stay away from any gold containing nickel, as this can be very harmful to the body and can cause a serious nickel allergy.

Let us first establish one thing--tattoos do hurt. It would be weird to say that it wouldn’t cause you pain. After all, we’re talking about pushing a needle into the skin 80 to 150 times a second. But that pain is also the charm of a tattoo experience, don’t you think?

Now, you should also be aware that not all tattoos have the same degree of pain and not all people similarly feel pain. There is a relation of the amount of pain and the location of the tattoo. That’s why scurrying through for information regarding the placement and painfulness of tattoos certainly helps. And this guide can hopefully help you with that.

Where will it hurt the most?

Each part of the body reacts differently to the piercing needle of a tattoo artist. This can depend on the structure underneath the skin or the major nerve endings throughout the body. Generally, the most painful parts of getting tattooed are the groin, the elbow, the arm pits, the spine area, the inner arm, the sternum, the ankle, the knee, and the under boob. Also, the bonier areas are likely to be affected more by the needle than other areas. The throat, nipples, genitals, solar plexus, face, and hands can be classified as the parts with clusters of nerves.

Which spots are the least painful ones?

The thighs, the forearm, the buttocks and calves can be considered suitable for people with lower pain tolerance. These areas contain a lot of cushion and very few to almost no nerve endings. However, the stinging and burning sensation in these areas is quite high. Some might just consider getting inked onto a bonier area just for this sole reason.

What to do before getting inked?

Get an appointment and try to eat at least two hours before you get inked. If you are suffering from a medical condition, it is important to get a go signal from your physician first. Also, it’s best to properly communicate with your tattoo artist about your pain tolerance to get a professional recommendation regarding the placement of the tattoo you want.

Get an edgy look and draw more attention to your eyes. How about committing to an eyebrow piercing for a new look? Here’s a quick and easy guide to help you get started.

What are the different kinds of eyebrow piercings?

As indicated by the position it has got, eyebrow piercing can be classified into various types: Horizontal eyebrow piercing is horizontally situated over the eyebrow, following its line; Bridge piercing is on the segment of skin between the highest point of your nose and your eyes, which is pierced; Anti-eyebrow piercing is performed marginally below the sub-par eye circle, ideal on the upper cheekbone; the T eyebrow piercing shows an ordinary vertical and a horizontal piercing.

Getting your brows pierced

The most important thing is to find a professional piercer you can trust, and let him or her do the procedure for you. A 16-12 gauge captive bead ring or mini curved barbell is recommended for a new piercing. Ideally, you can change your jewelry after about 6 weeks if you haven't had any issues with the piercing, but it won't be considered fully healed (inside and out) for about 3 months.

Taking care of your pierced area

The eyebrow piercing can take as much as six weeks or even longer to heal completely. Some people may even take longer than this to heal completely.

Now, here’s an easy way to clean the pierced area. Use a cotton ball to apply saline solution, holding it against the area for 2-3 minutes. Afterwards, clean the piercing area with water and a bit of antibacterial soap. Rinse off the soap thoroughly, then gently dry the piercing with a soft towel or a piece of tissue. You can also apply a piercing aftercare gel with a q-tip, and use this to remove any remaining crusting on the pierced area.

What kind of jewelry to use?

The jewelry that is most used for eyebrow piercing include eyebrow rings, curved barbells and also hoops. Make sure to use good quality jewelry to ensure that the risk of infections or any other resultant problems can be avoided. It is always best to keep away from the cheaper and often riskier pieces of jewelry on such sensitive areas.
