If you're thinking about that first piercing you may just be puzzled as to how the piercing is done, do they use a piercing gun, are is it a needle?

Have you been thinking of getting pierced you're probably a little intimidated and have some questions? I'll go over some of the questions I get asked most often about piercing and body art, to give you a better understanding of the whole process.

With that said, the procedure of piercing is pretty standard in most places. The first thing a piercer will do after evaluating your area of choice for a particular piercing is clean the area with an antiseptic solution.

The next step, for the piercer is to distinctly mark the needle entry point and exit points of the piercing to be sure of a straight piercing. It is also important for correct placement.

The labret is a piercing that goes in the bottom lip, but over the years there have been many variations to this style of piercing. The labret gets it's name from the style of jewelry worn, which is usually some type of bead ornamentation. Some variations are, Vertical labret which is down through the top of the lip and out the bottom, The Lowbret the piercing is done low on the chin, The Medusa is placed in the upper lip between the center ridges.

If your seriously considering body piercing places for getting pierced there are some things you should keep in mind. Never try to do it yourself or let a friend use one of those body piercing kits the risk of infection is to high. A professional piercer makes a living by doing body piercing and knows the power of word of mouth advertising and will not risk their reputation with poor sanitary conditions.

If your unfamiliar with the body piercing places watch how they handle their equipment, the freshly sterilized tools should be kept separate from the contaminated ones waiting for sterilization. Contaminated piercing supplies can cause HIV, Hepatitis are any number of infections.

Next they want to know how to pick the right piercing studio? Of all the things you want to look for in a quality piercing boutique you want to make sure they are professional, their station is spotlessly clean and their body piercing instruments are sterile.

Talk to your friends about the places they go to, and ask them why they like one body piercing place over another. Ask specific questions about the concerns you might have. Like, are they professional, is the place clean, can you trust them.

If you want to broaden your choices a little more you can use 18 K gold, titanium, or niobium these are all safe choices but you will find the implant grade stainless steel is less expensive. the body piercing places you choose should have some jewelry to choose from to get you started.
