Oral piercing is one of the most popular types of piercing out there, and its popularity is ever increasing. Oral piercings are classified as anything which involves the mouth. The most common oral piercing is the tongue piercing, but labret piercings, lip piercings, and cheek piercings are among the other types which fall under the category of oral piercings. For as popular as oral piercing is, it also represents more risks than most kinds of piercing. As such, it is incredibly important to evaluate the pros and cons of receiving an oral piercing before committing to the procedure.
In general, people get oral piercings for aesthetic or cosmetic purposes. There are also religious and culture reasons, as well as an individual’s belief that an oral piercing may increase his or her self-esteem. In addition, lots of people turn to oral piercings because they believe it will increase and enhance sexual feelings for themselves and their partners. On that same note, some people enjoy the sensation of pain provided by receiving an oral piercing.
The first step in making sure than an oral piercing will not cause any undue health risk is making sure that the piercing is placed in the proper location. For tongue piercing, the rules are particularly stringent. Tongue piercings should be located along the middle of the tongue – basically, in the center of the mouth – and it should be done at an angle, so that the top of the piercing is located further back than the underside of the piercing, allowing the jewelry to lean away from the teeth and towards the highest part of the roof of the mouth. As well, tongue piercings should be located in front of the webbing under the tongue.
With lip and/or cheek piercings, these should be placed in an area perpendicular to the area being pierced, in order to avoid a sharp angle. It should also be located within a “neutral” spot within or around the mouth, and the post used should be snug so that, once the piercing has finished healing, there is minimal contact between the jewelry and the teeth and gums. Cheek piercings should go no farther than the first molars in order to avoid certain glands and ducts. Having a piercer use strong light to locate these, as well as blood vessels and nerves, can help make the procedure much safer.
There are certain things to look and ask for concerning the actual procedure and the care and maintenance following the procedure which can also reduce any risks normally connected to oral piercings. Concerning how the piercing is done, it is best to use either surgical grade stainless steel, fourteen karat gold, or niobium jewelry. As far as the jewelry itself goes, rings, studs, and barbells are all acceptable pieces. The needle used should be the same shape and size as the jewelry which will be inserted. In general, the procedure involves the piercing needle being inserted into the appropriate location. It is then placed inside a plastic sheathe. When the needle is removed, the sheathe remains, holding the pierced hole in place until the jewelry is inserted. The initial piece of jewelry is generally longer than what an individual will choose to permanently place in the respective location, because this can reduce swelling substantially.

Until fairly recently, at least in pop culture, the most popular locations for torso piercings were the nipples and the navel. These days, however, an abundance of new piercing locations have also been popularized. Most torso piercings are considered surface piercings and, as such, have a very, very high rate for either rejection, migration, or both. Because of these high rates, it is very important to know as much about torso piercing as possible before committing to the procedure. Furthermore, it is likewise extremely crucial to closely and thoroughly examine all the pros and cons, because in addition to being more likely to be rejected or to migrate, there are quite a few health risks when it comes to torso piercings.
As mentioned, one of the most popular sites for torso piercings is the nipples. As one might expect, the nipple itself is pierced. Some people only choose to have one nipple pierced, but many choose both. Some of the main reasons for nipple piercings are heightened sexual pleasure and/or a sort of masochistic pleasure, wherein the person being pierced derives pleasure from the pain of having his or her nipples pierced. Rings and barbells are the most common pieces of jewelry used for this type of piercing. With barbells, the piercing can be either vertical or horizontal, though most people generally choose a vertical piercing. The rate of rejection for nipple piercings is not as high as other torso piercings, provided the piercer makes sure that the piercing is deep enough and that the gauge of the jewelry used is not too thin. The typical healing period for a nipple piercing is anywhere from three months to six months.
The next most popular torso piercing is the navel piercing. Again, both rings and barbells are popular. It is also possible to pierce the navel more than once, producing interested patterns and designs. For instance, a person can get a piercing at the top, bottom, and both sides of the navel. Of all torso piercings, the navel is the least likely to face rejection or migration. It is in fact as easy and relatively quickly healing as standard, earlobe ear piercing. Healing may take anywhere from four to six weeks. The only real problem with navel – or belly button – piercing is that many people, especially younger people, who are eager to receive some kind of body modification but anticipate a resounding no from their parents, too often receive this piercing under severely unsanitary conditions, believing that since it is a relatively easy piercing to hide, their parents will never know. This is, of course, usually when infection sets in, leading the parents to find out anywhere. Therefore it is especially important to always make sure to be pierced by a qualified professional.
There are, as well, a number of alternative piercings quickly receiving overwhelming popularity. The following piercings give new definition to the idea of a surface piercing and face far higher rates of rejection, migration, and infection than the two previously mentioned torso piercings. The first of these is known as a corset piercing, which is a series of bilateral, symmetrical piercings – two rows of them — which are generally located on the back. This piercing gets its name from the fact that this series of piercings can be laced together, thus giving the appearance of looking much like an actual corset. This kind of torso piercing is generally only intended to be a temporary piercing, due to how difficult it is for them to heal. While technically possible to be a permanent healing, this is very hard, because having so many surface piercings which need to heal can take upwards of a year. In this type of piercing, it is especially difficult, because the back is almost always in motion. In order to make this a permanent piercing, the person who receives the piercing must take numerous precautions, some of which are all but impossible to truly take. Ideally, for instance, a person who wants his or her corset piercing to remain permanent really cannot even move very much. It is also extremely difficult to properly cleanse and take care of these piercings, unless someone has another person to help with the cleaning. Even after corset piercings have healed, there is ample opportunity for irritation and rejection, so any considering a corset piercing, even a temporary one, is encouraged to think long and hard about the process, specifically the potential for infection, rejection, and permanent, painful scarring.
The next type of torso piercing is the Madison piercing, which is located through the skin at the front of the neck, right above the collarbones. They run extreme risks for rejection and migration, and have been known not to heal at all – if they happen to heal, they can take a year or more to do so. In general, only one out of twelve Madison piercings will heal, and they can leave severe, permanent scars when they are rejected or migrate.
The next type of torso piercing is hip piercings, which are generally done in twos – one for each hip. These, too, are surface piercings, but rejection and migrated may be avoided, provided the piercer uses a thick enough gauge of jewelry and inserts the piercing deep enough beneath the skin. The less superficial the hip piercing the better the chance of proper healing. However, when these piercings are rejected or do migrate, they can leave permanent and painful scarring.
Lastly, there are sternum piercings. As the name implies, these piercings are located on the sternum. There can be any number, from a single piercing to a series of them, generally done in a ladder type style. However, the skin and fat on the sternum is very thin, and as such, it is extremely difficult to make these torso piercings remain in tact. They may take anywhere from three months to a year to heal, and the risk of migration and rejection is very high.
For the most part, torso piercings are all surface piercings with few exceptions and, as such, all types are very likely to migrate or be rejected by the body. It is simply easier for the body – or skin – to push these types of piercings out, thus rejecting them. Those who are interested in torso piercings should very carefully consider all the risks and remain in close consultation with their piercer.

There are some ways to pierce a brow: horizontally, vertically, angularly, several times,and also under an eye - anti-eyebrow piercing. We`ll try our best to tell you as much as possible of all this ways, but for a start we would like to remind you, that none of these piercings means nothing at all! You just join to the piercing culture and nothing more.
Then, for a standard brow-piercing it`s better to choose microbananas with the size 1.2×12mm or 1.2×10mm. Such jewellery squeeze the skin less of all, and the curved banana’s shape reduces the risk of rejection. And also microbars, rings, bars with spikes or other heads are fit for wearing in the healed puncture. In brief, you wear the things which are convenient for you, in order not to have problems.
As always professional piercers follow the rule: “Better expensive, but of a good quality”, - that is why when choosing the jewellery for piercing you `d better choose the titan, and not the cheap steel. Many people are ready to argue passionately, like they have always worn steel and were happy, but steel is the very cause of rejections and inflammations. But we have deviated from the subject, now let`s return to it.
To choose correctly the place of piercing master must have a clear idea of anatomical structure of a brow and supersiliary nerve-endings, in order not to graze them. Therefore the brow may be easily pierced in the first quarter (the one which is nearer to the temple – the corner of an eye)) , but on no account not to be pierced in the centre and near of the bridge (but it doesn`t refer to the bridge): the very place where the supersiliary eye nerve passes (there`s a chance if not to become blind, but to ruin your eyesight – author`s remark).
The way of making piercing – at the right angle or at a small angle to the brow – is your personal choice, any puncture will demand equal efforts for healing.
The puncture is made by the marks, upper and lower ones, in a standard way.
A horizontal piercing presents some difficulties, but a professional is capable to make such an operation. The brow piercing per se is a far less painful operation, than,
for example, the tongue piercing. Maybe that is why the brows are being pierced several times.
The brow piercing made correctly heals very fast and without problems about in
2-3 weeks. That means that in about 20 days you may change jewellery to the gold one,
for exemple, or to your favourite steel. Nevertherless, even the healed braw may be easily traumatized even while taking off your clothes: be caught by a ball or a cone with the sweater – it`s the usual thing. And if you catch on something badly, then you`ll have to heal everything anew.
Therefore, the more often you do actions which may cause trauma, go in for the kinds of sport which involve contact, you`ve got a risk to traumatize the brow. Maybe there is a sense of thinking of some other way of piercing, some closed variant like intimate piercing, tongue, navel.

Today we’ll tell you about tunnels and stretching lobes of ears.
Such a type of piercing is a complicated operation which is taught on special courses. Moreover, only those who work in the sphere of piercing may study there, because ordinary man can’t make a tunnel without an experience.
First you should define a diameter of the tunnel you’ll have or you’ll tend to, because it will have an influence upon the choice of instrument and adornment.
If you wish to have rather simple tunnel, you should choose the diameter of 4 up to 6 mm – it’s the best size of tunnel for those who’ll use small low-key adornment.
In this case a piercer makes a simple puncture in the lobe of ear by the 6Ga needle and then he settles the tunnel or plug with the help of stretching and antiseptic gel.
