Most countries in India and Africa should be the origin of perforation. In India, the perennial custom-perforation. They regard perforation as a call to nature. A small amount of pain will alleviate disasters and weather. On the streets of India, there are a lot of people who perforate, so you go there. Do nt be surprised when you are. In African countries, perforation is regarded as a family culture. They believe that when beasts see holes, rings, and nails on their faces and bodies, they will be afraid and save their lives. Therefore, no matter whether adults or children, there are perforations on their bodies. strange. European and American countries, perforation began to be popular in the early 1970s. It is represented by playing metal rock music. Many band members are full of faces, and the representative is: anna varney. Introduced to Japan and South Korea in the mid-1980s. The first group of perforators were generally people who engaged in music. The representative of Japanese perforation: miyavi. In Japan, it is the best country for the development of perforation art. Young people imitate their idols, so piercing is most popular in Japan. Only came to China in the late 1990s.

When it comes to perforation, China is annoyed by many perforation enthusiasts. Since China has been a feudal country since ancient times, Tongtong regards these as "doing no good business" and deducts "self-harm on one's own body", "increasing the rate of skin infections", "perverted practices" and so on. . Actually on this issue, I personally think that China may never accept these arts. For example, the famous female singer Faye Wong, a well-known star, wore an eyebrow ring on her left eyebrow. Her fans wrote to her on the BBS: "Why don't you care for your body so much", "Why self-harm", "Don't paralyze yourself with pain" and so on ... Some Chinese scholars also said that "this is not only harming one's own body, but also a manifestation of admiration." This is why perforation does not develop in China.

Sequelae 1: bleeding, suppuration, and inflammation caused by improper disinfection.

If the purpose of aseptic and thorough disinfection cannot be achieved, the bacteria and viruses attached to the tool will enter the human body with the damaged skin, causing inflammation. Many people mistakenly believe that alcohol can be used for disinfection before perforation, because the high volatility of alcohol can dry the skin, but the drying effect of alcohol is too strong, which is not good for sensitive skin.

Note: It is best to use disinfection oil to disinfect the perforation to avoid bacterial infection. If the area is swollen, bleeding, or painful, or if it lasts for two weeks, see your doctor right away. You may need antibiotics.

Sequelae II: Infected with blood-borne diseases.

If the perforation device is used by many people and improperly sterilized, it can easily become infected with serious infectious diseases such as AIDS, syphilis, and hepatitis due to contact with blood and body fluids.

Note: Everyone has their own beauty, but you must choose an institution with complete documents and good sanitary conditions for surgery before punching. Before perforating, all utensils must be disinfected before use. Pay attention to cleaning and care after perforation. If the body has adverse reactions, you need to go to a regular hospital for treatment in time.

Sequelae 3: improper perforation position, causing other diseases.

Not all parts of the body are suitable for perforation. For example, when nailing in auricles, ear canals and other places with cartilage tissue, the bone tissue is penetrated by foreign instruments and loses the protection of the periosteum. It is easy to cause infection. In severe cases, it can cause cartilage necrosis and ear atrophy. After perforation, the wound cannot be healed in a short period of time. Friction infections are unavoidable in daily life, which can easily cause surface ulceration and local inflammation. The nasal ring is often in contact with dust and secretions in the nostrils. If it is not handled properly, it can easily cause bacterial infection; wear The tongue ring may not be able to eat normally for a long time, because the tongue is soaked in saliva all day, and the secretions in this mouth are more likely to cause inflammation, which may cause serious infections, swelling, speech and breathing disorders, or teeth Damage and nervous system damage.

Note: Consult a professional doctor before perforation, perforate under the guidance of the doctor, try not to make several holes in one operation. In addition, perforation and wearing accessories are very abundant in nerve endings such as the nose, lips, and tongue, which are very easy to cause complications such as sepsis, tongue atrophy, and nerve damage.

Sequelae 4: Improper materials can cause infection.

After all, perforation is a kind of trauma to the human body. Put a metal foreign body that is not part of human tissue in the trauma area. Bad metal foreign body will continue to stimulate the human body, make the punched area thicker, and tissue may appear hyperplasia. , Tumor-like protrusions, cancer may occur in severe cases.

Note: The effect of metal rings on the skin varies according to the stability of the metal. Metal products such as pure gold, stainless steel, and pure titanium have greater stability, are not easy to adhere to human tissue, and are also conducive to thorough disinfection by autoclaving. , The probability of causing skin allergic reactions is relatively small, more suitable as a decorative material after perforation. There are many people who have allergic reactions to contact with metal objects, which is prone to contact dermatitis due to foreign matter contacting the skin, so it is not suitable for perforation. You can do a simple body test to determine whether your physical fitness is suitable and then decide whether to perforate.
