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 »

In our times? Sure. But not everywhere you look. Low profile piercings are okay.

My friends alot of people ask if there are any people with body piercings that work in corporate positions and more. Yes I am happy to say there are. People from all walks of life in western culture and all over the world still keep there favorite piercings. I have known many to have there own business and to be in the ranks of high employment and they adjust to their needs and visual associations with their peers and customers.

One thing to remember for those of us that are pierced in exotic places on our bodies. We have a need to keep these piercings discreet in business norms that are critical to our environment. This can avoid contention with your boss, clients and others. These people maybe very accepting of your piercings but if the norm is a three piece suit, clean cut, and wing tipped shoes. You need to show some observance of the working and functioning environment and keep the piercing modestly hidden. Now I know this is going to upset some of the readers of bodypiercingsafe.com blog. I make no apologies. Sometimes you have to adjust. Sure I know you are cultural aware and you like to express your pierced body. But if you are a lawyer or a corporate servant you should reconsider the job implications. You want to keep your job. And your piercings.

I know that a person who is well pierced in normally exposed areas. His ears and chin to be more exact. He keeps his piercings low profile with smaller jewelry on days when visiting with new clients. This has been a success for his workplace and how he associates with first time customers. Most of the time his piercings he finds to be an asset to how some people respond to his willingness to be modest with his piercings after they meet and become more permanent in their associations.
So for all you pierced folk that visit here reading and doing eye cruising for new piercing products I wish you all the best. Just always show some respect and you will get respect back. Until next time.
