Well piercings won't affect your health so long as you look after them and keep them clean and wear only good quality jewellery made from biocompatible materials. There is a lot of misconceptions about body piercings, people seem to get the wrong information from so many so called "knowledgeable" sources.

Here's the facts, professionally provided body piercings are perfectly fine so long (as I mentioned before) you get the piercing done with good quality body jewellery and you maintain the piercings daily during showers and bathing.

Like anything you do, if you look after them they will be just fine. If you ignore your piercings or purchase junk jewellery and change the jewellery too much you can have issues due to material types and irritation to the piercings. Your over all health also affects your piercing, if you are stressed out not eating right and not getting the rest you should be, your piercing will be the first to feel the affects of this neglect.

Not all body jewellery is created the same, there is a lot of garbage out there, so you need to make your self "smart" by doing your research and finding the sources for good jewellery. As questions, search the net and find out what the real "pros" use for new piercings. Understanding the mystery that is "aftercare" is not that hard, generally common sense is the best bet. The old adage of more is better it not always the best route to take when you are looking after your piercings.

Some studios will tell you you MUST purchase there aftercare products for them to warrant any piercing they do, well that's a line of BS. Every piercer is accountable for what they do, there is no get out of a boo boo free card for piercers. They must render assistance to you should you have a piercing related issue with any piercing they do. They are after all supposed to help you out with piercing issues, it's what they do for a living.

There are literally thousands of professional body piercers out there, many of them have years and years of experience in providing the services you may be looking for. So do your research, visit the studios and ask questions that you have researched and listen to what they say and more over how they say it. This will tell you if you are dealing with a novice or a seasoned professional.

Properly provided piercing don't happen by accident, they are planned and performed by people who really know there stuff. The rest of the process depends on you and your ability to look after your piercing, with that you get a nice piercing.

But if the piercing was done by a hack with a piercing gun then you need to go see a professional body piercer and get some real good quality body jewellery for the piercing you have.
