My Mom says Ill get a brain infection or get paralysed if I get pierced?
If this was true there would be a lot more brainless or paralysed teenagers walking the streets! However as this industry grows rapidly I’ve seen a lot more unqualified piercers doing a lot more damage rather than safe piercing. Piercing does take a lot of skill and training to ensure proper placement of the jewellery. Each piercing does involve risks but they are significantly reduced if proper aftercare methods are used. It is important to stay in touch with your piercer if you believe something is not right with your piercing. Seek out the best piercer in your town and visit. If you don’t feel comfortable in the piercing room you can always leave. Remember it’s your body, it’s your decision!
