Can you pierce your own tragus?

A Tragus piercing is a technically challenging piercing that can't be done without knowledge of the structures of the ear and cartilage. Permanent ear and hearing damage can be done when attempted by novices. Listen use common sense and leave piercing to the hands of professional body piercers who will use aseptic methods and materials to provide the piercing in a safe manner. This is not a piercing gun piercing.


Why is cartilage hard to heal?

Well cartilage is the framework for the ear, this fibrous tissue structure has no actual blood circulation of it's own (remember it's just a frame) it gets it's blood supply from the surrounding *tissue (*the skin and it's many layers). When a cartilage piercing is done by a professional body piercer, the tissue is pierced larger than the jewellery gauge to allow the skin to form a tube into the cut cartilage and thus heal. We want the tissue to heal into the cartilage, if the jewellery is the same size as the piercing the skin has no room to form between the jewellery and cartilage and thus pain and discomfort. Circulation is another issue care needs to be used when laying out the piercing, fine vessels and arteries must be avoided when choosing a location to pierce. Damage to these can lead to decreased blood flow and longer healing times. It's really detailed work involving hours of study to understand the whole system and how it works. That is why ear piercing guns should never be used to pierce ear cartilage, the piercing stud is not designed to make an allowance for the tissue to enter into the cartilage to heal.


How can you narrow an essay on tattoos and body piercing?

Sure but you are writting the essay and you are the one getting the grades for it, do your own home work.


Does Claries do cartilage piercing?

They probably can but don't. They use piercing guns which are HORRIBLE especially for cartilage piercings. It can shatter your cartilage because of the pressure. Not to mention how disgusting they are. The only way to clean them is to wipe them down which means that the insides are filled with sweat, blood, skin, dirt and anything else that happens to get in there. You're more likely to get infections from guns and places that use guns are known fro having low quality jewelery that breaksdown in your ears.Just do some research on your own and you'll see why you should never ever get anything pierced with a gun.

What is the best way of piercing your own navel at home?

Inviting a PROFESSIONAL licensed piercer to your home because any other way is stupid. A belly button piercing is the only common piercing considered a "surface" piercing and is the longest healing and most often rejected piercing there is. Placement, needle size and symmetry are not only important for esthetic but more so for proper healing. Burning a needle and letting your punk friend do it is just asking for an infection, a unattractive scar and lots of regrets when you're older.


Is there a home remedy to heal swelling from lip piercings?

Yes it's called ICE, you should have written aftercare instructions for the care of your piercing and what to do to control swelling. If you dont have instructions then contact your piercer and ask for them, unless this was a DIY piercing then you are on your own.

How do you pierce your own body?

You definitely should not attempt to pierce your own body. Instruments used for piercing need to be sterilized, you could do the piercing incorrectly, and you could end up with serious problems if the piercing is not performed correctly. If you can't get the piercing done by someone who is trained to do them, then you need to wait until you can.


Does Claires do cartilage piercings?

A word from a professional body piercer:Claire's Boutiques are not licensed to provide body piercing services, nor are they inspected to maintain public safety by the health board. The use of piercing guns to pierce anything other than ear lobes is a violation of federal health regulations covering the use of piercing guns.If you allow them to pierce your ear cartilage with a piercing gun you are accepting all liability for any injuries you may sustain due to your request to have the piercing done. Bottom line if you contract anything due to cross contamination and the nonexistent knowledge of the person using the gun you are on your own.Forget the ability to sue for injuries due to their stupidity and your own. Be smart see a professional body piercer working in a licensed facility with knowledge and experience not to mention a health inspection report posted on the wall.
