Most body piercings are done with a basic surgical stainless steel captive bead ring, or a barbell. This is best for easiest healing. After your piercing heals - You may just want to go out and get a piece of jewelry that will be a little more fancy or perhaps more daring. It's a great feeling to go around showing off a nice piece of jewelry in your piercings. Body jewelry comes in all shapes and sizes. Most important thing to remember is to always be sure that the jewelry you buy is either Surgical Stainless Steel, Niobium, Titanium, or 14kt Gold. Do Not use Silver for any body piercing, silver will tarnish and infect the piercing.
You may find extraordinary body jewelry at Body Graphics. If we don't have exactly what you are looking for, we can order it for you. You may also try some retail stores, but I myself have found that the jewelry at most retail stores is not of the better quality, because there are many differences in quality of jewelry and they tend to go with cheaper fancy versions. As we are Piercers we will show a little more care in what we buy, because we actually do the piercings and know what works best.
Body Piercing has Been around forever. It dates back to the days of tribes. Whether being initiated into the tribe, doing a ritual ceremony, or just having fun with self expression. Tribes made all types of crazy piercings far beyond the simple ones done today. Its only within the last 10 years that Body Piercing really became mainstream. It has become more and more popular as time goes on. Everyday we pierce many belly buttons, tongues, nipples and much, much, more. It's seems that today the kids are starting to get into it at much younger ages. Moms are becoming braver and braver. They are bringing in their children of all ages to get piercings. All types of people get pierced - there really is no stereo-typical person who gets involved with piercings. We even see many Adults who just feel a certain need for a new form of self expression. So don't be shy - Get the piercing you always wanted. Just remember the one thing - you may remove it anytime.
