Put rubbing alcohol on the infection every day about twice a day.
No it doesn't get pierced through the cartilage. I actually had a woman come in with a septum piercing that was done by a so called "body mods artist", the piercing was done through the cartilage and was causing all sorts of issues for the lady. Piercing the cartilage is actually dangerous in that area and more subject to possible infection. The actual piercing is between the exteriour meatus and the physical cartilage, the web between these structures is only the thickness of a dime, this is the area the piercing should be placed. Any other location and the piercing is done incorrectly. Do your research and be sure your piercing is done by an actual "professional body piercer" working in a licensed and inspected facility (not a kitchen on a Saturday night).
The actual piercing part is literally about 5 seconds! Overall with the cleaning, numbing etc, its about 5 minutes.
You Mean For Someone To Get Their Tongue Pierced? The Actual Preporation For The Piercing (Steralisation Ect) Can Vary In Time Depending How Thourough It Is The Piercing Itself Takes Around 1-2 Seconds
Yes it is always safer to go to a Professional facility to get services like body piercing and tattooing done than to a boutique in the mall that sells different products and provides ear piercing with a piercing gun. Bottom like you are dealing with licensed professionals in Tattoo shops and Piercing studios, at the mall you are dealing with some one who has no real experience, actual training and no license or inspection.
Yes you can get it pierced. i have a half innie half outie too and it looks fine. if you don't feel that it doesn't look right when you get it done, don't worry about it just buy belly rings that look like this it should be big enough to cover your whole belly button :D Piercing the umbilical knot is a very risky thing, verging on dangerous. Most experienced professional body piercers wont do that piercing due to the high risk for infection and secondary complications. A navel piercing is the area around the umbilical knot, piercing the actual knot is not recommended or wise.
The signs of an actual infected bite would be extreme purplish or blackish redness around or on the bite. Pain would also be indicative of an infection.
Go watch a video of a tongue piercing on youtube. It takes like 2 seconds for the actual piercing but of course, the clamps go on before that which adds a little more time. So, not that long at all.
This means you are piercing your navel .. navel is the phrase for the area above the actual belly button** ( **other wise known as the umbilical knot)
Pros -looks -unique -most abt personality and self esteem really Cons - when ur 92 ull have a scar under ur lip! - might freak some ppl out - chance of infection - money for rings,barbells,and the actual piercing itself =] If u r thinking abt getting a lip piercing i say go for it!
Each barbell is scaled to the size of the tongue to be pierced therefore there is no "actual size" barbell for tongues, this is why you need to have the piercing done by a professional body piercer who will scale and measure the tongue and place the correctly sized barbell into the piercing.
I don't have one but I have friends who do. They have other piercings as well and their helix piercings are the most painful for them. But some of them say that the actual piercing isn't as painful as the swelling afterwards. Any cartilage piercing just takes longer to heal and stays cranky for a while. I have my tragus pierced and it really wasnt that bad.
There are all sorts of infections your piercing can get, it depends on what it's come into contact with and how the pathogen was introduced into the piercing. You don't get infections from the actual piercing but the other way around the piercing becomes infected. This is generally due to bad aftercare, poor personal hygiene and poor situational awareness. You need to keep piercings clean, this involves a good aftercare routine, good personal hygiene and being aware of your piercing and what it's coming in contact with throughout the day. Like any open wound you need to protect it from contact with dirty surfaces, dirty materials and dirty fluids.
