The art of body piercing

In the selection of human puncture products, commonly used materials include titanium, stainless steel, gold, silver and other materials. In 2002, skin diseases occurred in Europe due to long-term wearing of stainless steel puncture products, which aroused the attention of European governments in puncture materials. From 2003, the puncture markets in Europe and the United States began to use healthy metals-titanium.

1. Plain penetration: puncture the skin with a puncture needle, pass through the subcutaneous tissue, and pierce through the skin from the same surface, and place the ornament. For example: wear eyebrows, umbilicus

2. Penetrating: Use a puncture needle to penetrate the skin and meat fibers, and then pierce through the skin on the other side, and place the ornaments. For example: piercing ears, tongue, lips

3. Bean planting: Use a scalpel to cut the skin apart, place the ornament between the skin and the fat or fibrous tissue, and fit the wound. For example: shoulder planting, forehead planting, genital beading.

Ear cartilage 6-8 weeks; earlobe 4 months-1 year; eyebrows 6-8 weeks; nostrils 2-4 months; nasal septum 6-8 months; nose bridge 8-10 weeks; tongue 4 weeks; lips 2-3 Months; nipples 3-6 months; navel 4 months-1 year.

The area around the new puncture must be kept clean so that the body parts and jewelry are perfectly combined. If the puncture site is covered by clothing, such as a nipple or navel puncture, it may be infected by sweating and abrasion of clothing. Puncture workers should pay special attention not to touch jewelry to prevent infection. Take good care of the new puncture: clean the puncture site with antibacterial soap twice a day, gently clean the puncture and its surroundings, and remove all hard structures from the puncture site and jewelry. Rinse the soap with water and make sure that the soap and the hard skin are cleaned. Do not use alcohol or peroxide to clean the wound at any time. It will dry your skin and may discolor gold jewelry. You must wash your hands with soap before touching or cleaning the puncture site during the healing process. During the healing period, avoid contact with fluid from other people's body (sweat, sweat, etc.) and even your own sweat can irritate the puncture site. Be sure to wash the wound after all the exercises to remove sweat. Wear clean clothes. If the puncture is the ear, wash your phone, sunglasses and glasses with alcohol, wash the parts of the glasses that touch the ears with water and soap, and even the hair should not hurt the wound. The tongue should be checked with string jewelry (such as a barbell) in the mouth twice a day to ensure that its ends are tight. If loose, you may swallow a piece of jewelry or hurt your teeth. For the maintenance of the navel, cover the puncture area with gauze. Do not wear tight clothes. When puncturing the navel, do not wear a large belt, wear stockings, and a suit. Do not press your belly when you sleep. Fresh air is an important factor in wound healing. Be careful when you swim and avoid washing in public pools and hot tubs until the wounds heal. Tongue and lips puncture should choose an antibacterial, non-alcoholic mouthwash. Wash your mouth after any meal or snack. If you notice shortness of breath and tongue discoloration, the mouthwash may kill the bacteria in the mouth itself. In that case, you should use saltwater instead of mouthwash. People with acute inflammation or chronic skin disease should be punctured only after inflammation control and skin disease treatment. People with scar constitution should carefully consider before puncturing, because puncture may easily cause fibrous tissue proliferation, form keloids, and affect aesthetics. For people who are allergic to metal accessories, the most common sensitizing metal is nickel. Once the allergy occurs, it can cause the surrounding skin to be red, swollen, itchy, and dripping.

1. Surgical instruments are strictly sterilized, and needles can be used only once to ensure safety.

2. The puncture site should be routinely disinfected before puncture, and disinfected 1-2 times daily after surgery.

3. Keep the wound dry and clean within one week after operation to avoid contact with sewage during bathing.

4. Don't pull the ornaments by hand after the operation. You can change your favorite jewelry only after the wound is healed.

5. Avoid spicy foods within three days after surgery, and those who wear tongues can eat liquid for three to five days.

Eyebrows: wear eyebrows, do not wear for migraine patients

Nose bridge: Avoid Yintang and

1. Organs with acute inflammation or chronic skin disease should be punctured after inflammation control and skin disease cure.

2. For people with scar constitution, puncture can easily cause fibrous tissue hyperplasia, form keloids, and affect aesthetics.

3. For people who are allergic to metal, the most common sensitizing metal is nickel. Once allergy occurs, it can cause the symptoms of contact dermatitis such as redness, swelling, itching, and purulent skin.

4. Puncture should be forbidden during the menstrual period in women, because at this time, all organs in the body are congested, their resistance is relatively reduced, and bleeding and infection are likely to occur during puncture.

Due to the continuous frictional contact between the punctured damaged local tissue and jewelry, it is very easy to cause skin infections. If it is a person with an allergic constitution, the reaction may be more intense. Therefore, whether to choose "piercing" jewelry depends on your own physical fitness.

1. Puncture is a trauma to the human body. Putting a metal foreign body in the wound that does not belong to human tissues will continue to stimulate the human body, making the puncture site thicker, tissues may appear hyperplasia, tumor-like protrusions, and in severe cases may also become cancerous.

2. Piercing the belt ornaments in very rich nerve endings such as the nose, lips, and tongue will affect the function of the organ more or less.

3. Puncture is a surgical trauma. It will encounter the inflammatory reaction period from the beginning of three to five days. The pain may be severe. It takes about a week before it can be absorbed by the human body to eliminate inflammation. It takes about one month for healing. It takes three months to fully adapt.
