While piercing your ears is rarely perceived as rebellious, the same cannot be said for body piercings. More conservative individuals still frown upon this trend, while more and more people get their bodies pierced each year. The reasons for the surge of this trend are numerous, and they range from appreciation of the art to rebellion. Be as it may, piercing your body in order to enhance it with a foreign object is not without its risks. Here are some of them.

Eyebrow Piercings

One of the favorite things people like to pierce on their body are their eyebrows, and here are some of things you should know about this specific procedure. There are two common types, the standard eyebrow piercing and the anti-eyebrow piercing. This is an invasive procedure that takes place close to your eye, and the greatest hazard is striking a nerve. In some of the most extreme cases, this could even result in impaired vision. Aside from this, there is always the risk of infection. People doing this kind of enhancement are usually advised not to visit pools for at least a few weeks (or even months) afterwards, for fear of the infection.

Tongue Piercings

From everything mentioned in this article, piercing your tongue definitely seems the most perilous option. According to a recent survey, up to 6 percent of all people who do this have at least some related problem afterwards. What is surprising, however, is that this number is much lower than that encounter with standard ear piercings. There is a risk of damaging a nerve, but the most common issues are chipping your teeth. This is one of the reasons why you should only turn to professional salons, which can guarantee both safety and the topmost levels of hygine.

Nose Piercing

Apart from ear piercings, nose piercings are the next most popular choice. The two major types of nose piercings are the nostril and septum piercing. Each has its own set of potential medical issues. The greatest one is that it can easily lead to an infection if the tools used are not kept in perfect condition. This is why, when looking into piercings in Sydney, you need to find a studio that is reputable enough. Still, not everything is about hygiene, and sometimes you will have problems with tissue deformation or irritation. As for septum piercings, there is always a small chance that you will cause a septal hematoma. This is  why you need to make sure that the person doing the procedure is a master of their craft.

Altering your body in any way can be problematic, but take a look at the people in the world who have body piercings, without having suffered the slightest problem. Some would probably want to attribute this to sheer luck, but there is much more to it than that. Piercing someone’s body is a complicated procedure, which is why you need to choose the salon with the utmost care.
