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.

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.

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.
