* So, you have decided to visit this piercing saloon? First, it would be good idea to have a snack before – really, you don’t want to feel dizzy or weak, just in case, but on the other hand, surely enough, won’t you think
of having even light drink, either. No way.
* Speaking of yet another big No, please never trust your acquaintances to perform the Procedure for you - even if they possess Medical Diploma. Do we have to mention that no one should ever take chances turning the piercing in do-it-yourself project?
* Unless your Professional recommends otherwise, do not apply any alcohol-containing substances on freshly pierced spots. It’s rarely recommended to use some alcohol or hydrogen peroxide for primary treatment of healing belly-button, nose or eyebrow areas.
* Piercing should be done only in certified body-art saloons. One should never save on one’s own health taking risks with specialists of questionable reputation.
* During your appointment with Master, it would be wise to allow yourself some curiosity as to instrument sterilization policy adopted there and the ways Master-to-be is staying up to its guidelines. He should use special instruments recommended by practitioners-Members of Piercing Professionals Association.
* Please make sure that the adornment you chose is made of biologically inert metals – such as gold, platinum, titanium or surgical steel. After all, this item is about to become planted in your own skin or other soft body tissues!
* It goes without saying that all jewelry has to be sterilized. Your Master should provide you with all the necessary recommendations regarding the best ways to behave during early- and post-operational periods. Also, it’s Master’s duty to explain you all pros and cons of one or the other bodily part piercing and how exactly the hygienic after-treatment should be taken care of.
* Please find out if your Master will be fully available to you for future consultation, should anything go wrong – e.g. in case of malpractice in the manipulation or an occurrence of any other further complications.
* Extremely important! Remember: should anything be gone differently from what you’ve been told in piercing saloon – turn for professional doctor’s advice! It’s better to do it as soon as possible. In this case, even a single hour matters!
