Ear pierced.

Get to know the ear and the piercing process

The ear piercing is the standard for everyone entering the world of body piercing. To some extent ear piercings are not quite as simple as they once were. It is the standard for every little girl, my niece is turning five and wants a piercing. Men are more and these days interested in getting their ears pierced. It has come to cross all cultural bounds, and for now and probably the future, the varieties of ear piercings are endless and there are more risks as well.

Before, earrings were most commonly located in the earlobe – in both earlobes, in fact. Then, people started getting multiple piercings in each earlobe. It is now possible, in fact, to have one’s ear pierced all the way from the lobe to the cartilage. These days, more and more cartilage piercings are becoming popular. There is the rook piercing, the tragus piercing, and the helix piercing, which is the most “standard” cartilage piercing, being located right at the top of the cartilage in most cases. The former two are located in little bits of cartilage located within the nautilus of the ear. There are also conch piercings, snug piercings (the corresponding shape just inside of the cartilage line), anti-tragus piercings, and daith piercings – all rather complicated cartilage piercing. Lastly, there is the industrial piercing, which usually involves a barbell (or even a safety pin, in certain cases), spanning from one side of the upper cartilage to the other side. Because none of these piercings are located in the earlobe, they are generally defined as cartilage piercings – but since they are located on or within the ear, they also still qualify as ear piercings. For the most part, cartilage piercings take much longer to heal than regular earlobe piercings. As far as earlobe piercing is concerned, the higher up the piercing is located, the longer it may take to heal. The usual estimate is six to eight weeks, just to be on the safe side.

Rings or Studs for my little ear

Earlobe piercings may be first pierced with rings or stud. With cartilage piercings, piercers usually recommend using a stud at first, and generally encourage the person getting pierced to choose a gold stud. After healing periods have elapsed and the wearer can choose the piercing of his or her own choice, those choices are practically limitless. There are, of course, studs and rings, but there are also dangle earrings, which are made to “flow” from the earlobe and can be as long as the wearer wishes. There is also a French hook style of earring, wherein the earring hangs from the lobe thanks to a hook shaped in such a way that the earring will not easily fall out of the ear. There are “huggy” or cuff earrings, which cling to the earlobe. There are “slave” earrings, wherein, usually, a stud is connected by a chain to an ear cuff or cartilage ring worn somewhere higher on the ear.

There are also earrings known as ear threads, which are not actually earrings at all. Rather, these are chains so thin they can slip through the piercing whole. As well, there are earrings known as ear needles, which is a thin plastic stick that goes straight into the piercing hole. Generally, these do not fall out because they are a little bit larger than the hole itself. Jewelry used in other piercing sites, such as barbells, can also be used in ear piercings. Captive bead rings, rings with a ball closure, are another popular choice, as are circular barbells – which do not close all the way, unlike bead rings and captive rings (basically a captive bead ring, minus the bead) – and flesh plugs, which are also known as grommets and eyelets, and they are generally used in large gauge piercing or to stretch an ear piercing, which has become quite a popular trend. Similar to these are earrings called flesh tunnels, but they are hollow in the middle.

These days there are also permanent earrings, which are exactly what the name suggests. Thanks to a soldering procedure, these kinds of earrings do not come out and cannot be removed without serious assistance. Read the rest of this entry »

Body rings of this type are very popular. When the bead is removed, the jewelry is removed. So the person who wears it has to simply remove the bead. Still the bead will not fall off the ring. Because of the nature of manufacture it does not hold on clothing, hair or furniture, making them a popular choice for piercings, which are still healing. These are closed in shape and have rounded edges. The other ring has a slight separation between the bead and the other end of the ring. This also allows for easy removal and cleaning.

Behold the Lip Piercing

Lip Piercings are one of the simplest areas on your body to have pierced. This is in large part due to no major blood vessels and tissue. Lips get the medusa, Monroe or Madonna piercings. A piercing to the left is a Monroe. Put it on the right and it is now a Madonna. A nice looking Medusa piercing goes through the center of the upper lip. After you get one one you will likely want a labret.
A nice labret of 1.6 mm gauge and 6-10 mm long are used for these types of piercing. For faster healing you should choose the labret with the length 2-3 mm more then the thickness of your lip.

If you are more into getting into nonstandard types of lip piercing try a vertical piercing of the lower or upper lip and lip piercings on opposite sides of the mouth. For such operations you should better choose the rings of 10mm or 12 mm in diameter, or banana bells of 1.6×10 mm or 1.6×12 mm with the equal beads.

Worthy of particular mention are so-called smile piercings, when your piercing can be visible only in case you smile. This is a body piercing through the frenulum of either the upper or lower lip. For this type of piercing small jewelry 1.2×8 mm or 1.2×10 mm. Rings, mocrobarbells and microbananabells are appropriate. It is important for the jewelry not to bother you and not to hit on your teeth.

You should choose the length of the jewelry very carefully. If the length of the jewelry is not sufficient then it may lead to “skinning over” and “caving” of the jewelry, especially the heads of the labrets. Very often the clients want small, imperceptible jewelry in their lip and buy short labrets with small heads and beads. In healing process the lip tries to push out the jewelry or skin the jewelry over. In case of skinning over (caving, that is visible in the mornings)  it is necessary to replace the jewelry by longer one or by one with larger head. Read the rest of this entry »

Lip Piercings are cool in ancient times

In the society of the ancient Aztecs and Mayans, a man who has a lip piercing is a member of the higher caste and he usually wears jewelry made from gold and jade. Today, a lot of people, including some celebrities, wear lip rings because of the way it allows them to express themselves.

Yes, you will get piercing points with your bad boy and girl friends. Also, do not underestimate the lip piercing procedure. It is a decision that involves facing risks and consequences that might cause you to regret your actions later. Also, you have to remember that a lip piercing isn’t something that you can just remove after you have grown tired of it. So, if you’re still up to getting a lip piercing, here are some things you need to take note of before going through it.

Who and Where? Lip piercing pointers.

Ask around and pick an artist who is well-recommended. Make sure that he has a certificate from the Association of Professional Piercers (APP). This is an organization of piercing artists that make safety rules that prevent you from incurring health risks due to piercing. Also, pick a piercing salon that is clean and has artists who sanitize their hands before doing a piercing. You should also make sure that they use sterilized needles in sealed packages and not a piercing gun. Remember that piercing guns cannot be sterilized and if they use one on you, you’re bound to get an infection from your piercing.

The Placement

Since you will be living with it for the rest of your life, you should know where you want to have your lip piercing done. Putting a lip ring on your lower lip is very much recommended because it doesn’t have any contact with your gums and wouldn’t cause any damages in this area in the future.

You can also have a labret stud on the area below your lower lip. This is also called a labret. Because the flat disk is squeezed between the back of the lip and the gums, the placement of this lip piercing is very important because it can hurt your gums.

If you’re feeling adventurous, it is also possible to put a labret stud above the upper lip. Because it is related to the placement of Marilyn Monroe’s beauty mark, it is called a Monroe piercing. And, if you are a very daring person, you can also opt for Angelbites, which consists of two upper lip piercings on both sides of the lip. Only labret studs can be used for this type of lip piercing. Snakebites, on the other hand, are just like Angelbites. The difference is that Snakebites are found on the opposite sides of the lower lip and both rings and studs can be used for this type of lip piercing. Read the rest of this entry »
