who cannot easily afford professional services in a studio often take this route.
Infection
Infection happens in 2 distinct phases :
1. If you get pierced in unsanitary conditions, or with unsterile implements or jewelry, an infection can be transmitted during the piercings.
2. If you fail to care for the wound properly throughout its healing period, an infection will happen after the piercing is done.
Health Conditions and Piercings
Certain medical conditions make piercings riskier, and in some cases inadvisable. Health problems that weaken your infection-fighting defences, including lupus, HIV/AIDS, diabetes
and other immune system disorders can make you slow to heal.
Other rashes such as eczema or psoriasis, scars such as keloids, and other skin abnormalities are less serious health issues.
Allergies and Skin Problem
All sorts of bumps, lumps and skin irritations can crop up around a piercing, come and go as healing progresses& occasionally remaining permanently.
Some of these are caused by mechanical stress against the piercing; others are caused by a cleaning product or jewelry material.
A nickel allergy can be triggered by jewelry made of inferior metal. This type of allergy can be serious and irreversible, which is one reason it is critical to wear only high-quality,
inert jewelry.
Migration and Rejection
Two rather distinctive piercing complications are :
1. Migration :
The piercing moves from its initial placement, then settles & heals in a new location.
2. Rejection :
The jewelry is expelled completely from the body.
These usually happen when unsuitable or insufficient tissue is pierced, or if the jewelry used is too small in diameter, thin in gauge, or of poor quality.
Inexperienced and untrained piercers often make these errors. Migration and Rejection can also result from using a harsh aftercare products, following poor health habits during the
healing period. But sometimes even when everything is done properly, a piercing will migrate or reject for no known reason.
Dangerous Piercing Placements
Certain piercings should be avoided altogether because they are inherently risky or rarely heal. However, many photos of these placements can be found online, simply because
someone is willing to do a piercing on you or has done it on someone else doesn't mean it is safe or advisable.
