Things you need to know before getting piercing…
Want to get pierce? Something you need to consider before getting pierced..
Sometimes it is inappropriate to perform even the most standard piercing. A piercer should politely refuse to perform a piercing that could be dangerous, ill suited, unsuccessful, or for which they are not trained. The following are examples for which a second opinion, in some cases from a piercing-friendly physician, may be needed before proceeding:
- An individual with heart valve disease (such as mitral valve prolapse) should consult their physician for prophylactic antibiotics
- An individual has a heart murmur, diabetes, hemophilia, auto-immune disorder, or other medical condition(s) that may negatively influence the piercing procedure or the healing process
- There is an obvious skin or tissue abnormality that may include but is not limited to rashes, lumps, bumps, scars, lesions, moles, freckles, and/or abrasions
- The client wants to pierce irregular or surgically-altered anatomy, or the client is unsuited due to occupational, recreational, or environmental factors
- Surface-to-surface, or other frequently unsuccessful (commonly rejected by the body) piercings
- The client has impending plans to become pregnant and wishes to get a nipple, navel, or other piercing
- It is advisable to refrain from piercing during pregnancy to allow the body to focus on the important, complex, and demanding task that it is handling already
