Important - This article provides information on how piercing needles are used and hence, should not be re-created in any manner. Professional body piercers are trained and have experience in the field, and which is why, they are the ones best suited for the job. If you are under the age of 18, seek parental advice before reading this article.
In today's world, 7 out of 10 people have body piercings. Although this form of body art has been accepted in the East for centuries, but the West has recently experienced its exploding popularity. Teenagers and 20 somethings are looking towards getting their ears, noses, eyebrows, tongues, nipples, navels, and other parts of their bodies pierced. With growing popularity, the need to find more advanced piercing methods also arises. Which is why, you will see latest piercing guns being used at various piercing parlors. However, there are professional piercers who still opt for the traditional piercing method of using needles to get the job done. Regardless of what instrument is used, there is going to be a certain level of pain which no one can avoid.
But that isn't the main concern of our article at hand. What we are here to discuss is how to use piercing needles. Now let me be absolutely frank here. I do not like or support the idea of anyone purchasing piercing needles and start experimenting with them on themselves or others. An individual has to be trained properly and should have enough experience before he/she starts piercing themselves or anyone else. So keep this in mind at all times and, if you want to learn how these needles are used for real, do seek professional help. As for the purpose of this article, we are only providing you with the written information.
Using Body Piercing Needles
There are various sizes of piercing needles available in market and they are all used for particular piercings. As different types of body piercings require a certain size of needle, a professional piercer will select it accordingly. To begin the process, you will have to...
* Purchase only marked needles as the material is same as the ones used in hospital tools. This way, you can ensure that there won't be any infection or an allergic reaction.
* Wash your hands with antibacterial soap and then use hand sanitizer. Hygiene is crucial while piercing any body part as the germs from your hand can come in contact with the pierced skin.
* Pat your hand dry with a clean towel and wear latex gloves as soon as you've washed and sanitized your hands. Also, the area where you are going to hold the procedure also has to be sanitized and hygienic.
* When you open the needle packet, make sure that the needle is hollow as this will help in protecting the skin from any bruises and tissue damage.
* Next, you need to select the right gauge size. Primarily, most piercings can be done with a 14 gauge needle. However, the use of 16 gauge can be required, depending on what you are piercing. (This is where your training and expertise is needed).
* If you purchase pre-sterilized needles, you can skip the step of sterilizing them before use. You might have to sterilize the clamps though.
* Now one of the most important things to keep in mind is to hold the needle as steady as possible. You have to precisely hold the needle close to the skin where the piercing is supposed to be made.
* Hold your hand steady and try to grip the needle tightly. If you have a weak grip or your hand shakes a lot, the process is going to be more painful than it normally would.
* The sharp edge of the needle has to face downward so that the skin is pierced with precision. As you hold the needle, that sharp edge should align your forefinger properly.
* When the needle is pierced through the skin, not the fingers, but your wrist has to turn to find the perfect angle.
With a firm, sure hand, you also decrease the risk of any injury. Also, when the needle is being pushed inside the skin, you have to make sure that your fingers aren't sliding up and down the needle or there's going to be a lot of pain.
I am going to repeat myself here, but it's important so I will. Without proper training, please do not use piercing needles on yourself or anyone else. It can be quite dangerous when you don't know what you're supposed to be doing. Just leave the piercings to the professionals, shall we?!

How to Sterilize Piercing Needles
Body art salons can prove to be a point of cross contamination if proper hygiene standards are not maintained. Health council requires the tattoo and piercing parlors to maintain highest degree of sanitation and sterilization. As most salons indeed adopt safe piercing practices, the risk of contamination and infection has greatly reduced. Nonetheless, one must be well informed about what are the safe practices of sterilization at home as well as commercially. Home piercing may also lead to infections, if no sterilization has been ensured. So, let us know how to sterilize piercing needles for maximum safety.
How to Sterilize Piercing Needles at Home?
Piercing at home is not recommended unless absolutely necessary. Home piercing may cause a lot of discomfort, pain and increased risk of infection. Besides, you are also likely to pierce unevenly, if you are not careful or do not know how to use piercing needles. However, the most important issue is that of sterilization. Home sterilization techniques cannot get rid of microbes completely and effectively. Nonetheless, you can try any of the following techniques of needle sterilization at home.
Method 1
Place the tip of the piercing needle on a burning flame of a candle or any other heat source. Allow the tip to become red hot. Take some rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide solution on a cotton ball and wipe the tip with this solution. Do not forget to wear sterile latex gloves while touching needles. Apply rubbing alcohol on your earlobes as well to disinfect them. Although, this method does not assure complete sterilization, it is the best you can do at home.
Method 2
Clean the piercing needle with antiseptic solution. Place the metal portion of the needle in boiling water. Let it stand for at least 5-10 minutes. Wear your sterile latex gloves and remove the needle tip from water. Wipe it with rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide solution. Treat your earlobes with rubbing alcohol in the same way as mentioned above.
One must note that piercing at home carries increased chances of scarring and infection. If you must, you should never go beyond earlobe piercing at home. Complicated body piercings such as tragus piercing, naval piercing or tongue piercing must be done by a professional only. While doing ear piercing, apply an analgesic cream or some kind of numbing agent to the earlobe to reduce pain. Do not numb your ear with ice packs, as it will make the skin coarse, thereby leading to rough piercing.
How to Sterilize Piercing Needles Professionally?
In commercial parlors or salons, needles are sterilized using a specialized device named autoclave. Needles are packaged in special sterilization pouches and only then placed in an autoclave. A indicator strip that changes color when sterilization is completed, is also placed in an autoclave. Once you have filled all the needles and loaded the indicator strip in an autoclave, set the timer and adjust the pressure. At the end of cycle, vent the autoclave by putting on the vent option. Wear sterile latex gloves and remove the needles when the pressure and heat gauge read zero. Ensure that the needle pouches are dry.
This is the safest and most effective method of needle sterilization. However, this method can be used only if the needles are metal pointed. Piercing guns, which are made of plastic cannot be sterilized in this way. Hence, there is a fair amount of risk involved if you choose to have piercing using a gun. Although there is no direct contact of the needle with the customer's skin, indirect contamination may occur, when the professional touches the person's skin and then the gun.
The safest way of getting a body piercing is to get it done from a professional, using a piercing needle only. Ensure if the professional sterilizes the needles in an autoclave or not. If not, it is best to give such a salon a miss and opt for other safer solutions.

Sternum Piercing
As each generation grows up, it's obvious that they are going to make almost all their decisions without consulting anyone. Growing up, the things that they couldn't do (perhaps their parents didn't approve of it), now is their chance to get exactly what they want. I am talking about getting body piercing and tattoos. The newer generation are finding new locations to get themselves pierced at, and are loving it. As a sign of defiance, freedom, independence, and sex appeal, many piercing fanatics are turning towards sternum piercing.
There are different types of body piercings that have become popular in recent times. And vertical and horizontal sternum piercing have quickly become one of the most favorite places to get pierced, for men and women. Perhaps you are planning on getting yourself pierced (for the first time or again). If so, then perhaps you would want to keep an eye on this unique piercing. In the following article, we will go over all details about the sternum piercing; it's location, procedure, cost and aftercare instructions.
Sternum Piercing Information
Before we get any further, let me make something clear. Although I am in for piercings myself, I always advice everyone to get the piercing done from an experienced piercer. Any kind of piercing, if not done correctly, can become problematic. Apart from the sternum piercing, there are other piercing names too that you can learn about. For now now lets go through this particular piercing information mentioned below.
Sternum Piercing Location
If you aren't familiar with sternum anatomy, let me explain you where exactly is the piercing done. The sternum is the flat, long bone in the middle of our chest. It is shaped like the alphabet "T". This is the exact location where your piercing will be placed. This area is not easy to pierce as it is neither flat, hangy, or concave. For the piercing to stay in place, a canal has to be made under the skin. This way, your jewelry will get inserted and stay intact.
Many people have experienced their bodies rejecting the piercing as well. By "rejecting" I mean that your body does not accept the metal jewelry placed inside and tries to push it out. Women get this piercing done right between their cleavage and for men, it's on the top and bottom of the pectorals. The piercing looks really sexy (without any doubt), no matter which pattern you choose.
Sternum Piercing Procedure
For sternum surface piercing, the actual procedure doesn't really take that long. The whole process takes about 5 minutes or so. However, the prep time should be a bit more than that. Whichever piercer you choose, make sure that he/she disinfects the tools, jewelry, the piercing area, and his/her hands in front of you. Also, see if the hole marks made on your chest are matching with the jewelry.
Now, similar to any other type of piercing, your piercer will pierce the surface bar in the area marked for piercing. But remember, this can only be done if your skin is flexible at that area. The jewelry needs to get enough support; at least for the first few days. The jewelry as well will be a bit bigger while piercing. And in a couple of weeks' time, you will have to go back for a smaller, more sexier jewelry. But what many of you must be scared about is, the sternum piercing pain level. As I have mentioned in many of my other piercing articles, the pain level will fluctuate from person to person. Depending on how tolerant you are, the pain would be higher or lower for this one.
Sternum Piercing Cost
For this type of chest piercing the cost can come anywhere between US $100 to US $150. This difference in price depends on your piercer selection (some more popular piercers have extra charges) and the jewelry (studs, diamond studs). So keeping that in mind, the final amount that you need to pay for the piercing will vary.
Sternum Piercing Aftercare
Once you get the piercing done, there are certain sternum piercing care instructions you need to follow. At first the piercing may not be too comfortable to handle and work around. But proper body piercing aftercare tips has to be executed in order to keep the piercing in place. This also helps in the jewelry not rejecting your body.
* The sternum piercing healing time is from 4-6 weeks. So the area will be tender and painful to touch in the initial weeks.
* To avoid piercing infection, make sure you clean the piercing with cotton ball soaked in saline solution every day.
* While in the shower, lightly lift the jewelry and clean with a saline soaked Q-tip. This will remove all the crusting formed around it.
* Take a mild soap and clean the jewelry as well and don't touch it often during the day.
* If there is any bacteria or infection present, the healing time can increase.
* Don't twist and turn your jewelry for at least 3-4 weeks. Just clean and move it while in the shower.
* Call your piercer when it's time to remove the old jewelry and replace it with the new one.
The risks of body piercings are many, but with proper care you can turn it in your favor. Sternum piercings look really sexy when they are not infected and clean. So follow the necessary precautionary steps and get the piercing you've been wanting for so long.

Nape Piercing Jewelry
Nape of the neck is also known as 'medulla oblongata', and the piercing is done at the back of the neck region, or even slightly below it along the spine area. It requires an adequate thickness of tissue to sink into and pierce through, for nape piercing jewelry. This is usually 1.6 mm in length, within the skin surface. Commonly used jewelry consists of curvy shaped ones, or PTFE (teflon) where these provide the body a better chance at healing wounds. Titanium is another option for jewelry used in surface body piercings. Once the healing process is complete, which is about 8 weeks, the long vertical bars used for the initial piercing is removed, and replaced with something shorter after the swelling subsides. We look into the different types of piercings that people get over their bodies, known as 'surface piercings', and how different kinds of jewelry are used, to adorn nape piercings.
What are the Different Types of Surface Piercings?
Besides nape piercings, there are other forms of surface piercings that people sport all over their body. Some forms of these piercings can be weird, and not something that people in their right minds would do. There's always someone who wants to take body art and piercings to another level, and this is just one way of doing it. Besides the obvious piercings known today, like the navel or eyebrow, there's a whole lot more to piercing than meets the eye. There are two problems that take place if piercings aren't done in the correct manner. One being, 'mitigation', where the piercing moves from the original place that it was inserted into, and second, 'rejection', where the body cannot take the the insertion of the foreign object, put into that part of the body, pushing it out and causing an infection or form of inflammation. If you take care of the piercing in the way that you should, by keeping it clean and free from the possibility of an infection or reaction, then the chances of having a fully healed piercing is possible. Here's looking into the different types of body piercings that require surface piercings inclusively.
Hip Piercing: This type of piercing is done around the pelvic region, that is, where the hips taper down, along the hip bones.
Corset Piercing: Just like how the pattern of a corset crisscross in successive patterns, the same is showcased by an array of piercings that meet at points, with bands attached to them to form a corset like pattern.
Stomach Piercing: Usually done as navel piercings, this includes the surrounding areas that covers the torso region as well.
Madison Piercing: This piercing is placed above the collarbone, usually as a horizontal piercing. Collarbone piercing can be experimented with other kinds of jewelry as well.
Neck Piercing: This piercing can be found anywhere along the side of the neck, where people usually put two studs protruding from the skin surface, resembling a two-fang vampire bite.
Vertical Tragus: The tragus is the eternal part of the ear, where it bulges just before the opening towards the inner ear. This is where cartilage piercings are done, right on this bulbous cartilaginous portion.
Nape Piercing: As you now know, nape piercing jewelry is placed on the back portion of the neck or the lower area along the spine.
Anti Eyebrow Piercings: This type of facial piercing is where jewelry is placed either beside the eye portion, or below it. Anti eyebrow piercings don't have to follow the usual form of piercing one's eyebrow, but can travel anywhere around the eye area.
Wrist Piercing: Wrist piercing is usually done on the upper side of the wrist, where the veins are prominent, or on the top portion as well.
Sternum Piercing: Sternum piercings are done along the sides of the body, where the rib cage curves. This can be done on the lower or upper half of one's body, on the sides.
How is a Surface Piercing Done?
When nape jewelry piercings are done, along with the other kinds, there's a certain method that goes into puncturing these into the skin. Due to the body's resistance of holding in horizontal piercings, barbells are used, that are bent at 90 degree angles, giving the body a sort of restriction when trying to push the piercing out. A skilled person is needed to practice this form of piercing, who knows exactly how to place the jewelry, and what depth is required for penetration. Due to the chances being high of the body rejecting the piercing even in the future, people have to constantly be aware of the piercing presence. Later on it is then too late to have it removed, being an area that's been healed and closed off at the entry points, leaving behind scarring as a result of carelessness. Here's how surface piercings are done, and what kinds of jewelry is used for nape piercings.
Scalpelled
This is done by using a low pressure flap, under which the jewelry is placed, but the chances of the body rejecting this piercing is high.
Punch and Taper
The needle used here is the same shape as that of a barbell (the 90 degree piercing), helping the wound heal faster, avoiding the situation of migration.
Traditional
Using nylon/curved barbells, where the long term effect of this aren't evident. Therefore it is advisable to ditch the idea of using this type of piercing.
Surgical
Skin tubes are created, where the jewelry can then be placed within. You can do some further reading about, risks of body piercings to understand the concept of getting a piercing.
Scar and Brace
This is done by inserting the piercing into a tough layer of tissue, or using a small bar like implant that is placed within the skin, that acts as a brace.
How Do I Take Care of my Nape Piercing?
You need to understand that getting a surface piercing done on the nape of your neck is tricky and poses as a problem in the long run. Due to the presence of material rubbing against the piercing, this can over time lead to rejection, since the friction caused can create a problem for the wound to heal. Clothes can get snagged onto the piercing, where nape piercing rings should be avoided, since this can cause the skin to tear easily from the pressure of the pull, leading to painful skin tears. What you need to do is make sure you keep that area exposed as often as possible to avoid the healing process from being hampered. It is recommended that you use PTFE piercings, during the healing process and then switch to something else after it has healed completely. Using barbells in the future would help, being angled the way it is to avoid the body from rejecting the piercing. Don't touch that area with unwashed hands, and always make sure to avoid soap or chemicals from invading the wound area. It is advisable to keep it dry at all times, and apply creams specially made to keep the area infection free.
As you can see, nape piercing jewelry can range from what is not advisable for your body, to what your body can handle. Always remember to avoid removing your clothes too fast, and putting them on too quickly, knowing that you have a piercing that could get caught in it. Follow hygiene tips and instructions from your piercing artist as well, and make sure you go to someone you trust and knows what he/she is doing. Good luck.

Microdermal Jewelry
Microdermal jewelry is not meant for everyone. If you are heroic enough and can bear some pain to adorn the coolest look ever then only think about sporting microdermal jewelery. Mocrodermal jewelery is essentially available in smaller sizes. Why? If you know what is microdermal piercing which is also known as dermal implant, you would never ask this question. Well, don't worry if you do not have any idea about it. Just read the following article to know more about this painful pleasure.
What is Microdermal Piercing?
Microdermal piercing is essentially a type of permanent body piercing. But it does not look as if it is pierced. Microdermal piercing gives the appearance as if the jewelry is screwed into the skin. It is essentially made of two different parts, the anchor and the ornamental side. The anchor has a flat bottom with a protruding step that sits even to the level of the skin surface. And the upper part that is ornamental part is then fixed on top. This makes changing microdermal jewelry very easy where you do not have to remove the anchor from the skin. All you have to do is remove the ornamental part and place the other one of your choice.
Microdermal implant involves a special procedure. Before the piercing or implantation, the skin where implantation has to be done is cleaned and sterilized. Then some part of the skin is removed from the area using a dermal punch. Now, the microdermal jewelery is placed with surgical forceps in the desired location. After the wound is completely healed the ornamental side will always look even with the skin surface.
Microdermal Jewelry Designs
I am sure now you know why microdermal body jewelry is smaller. Well but the size of this jewelery does not limit the kind of variety of designs you can have when it comes microdermal ornaments. Classic diamond microdermal jewelry is popular with women. Petite, shiny, and colorful diamonds can be worn on almost every part of the body. Many girls prefer to wear their microdermal diamond near the eyes, on the neck, on the nape, on the belly button, and some even sport it on the cleavage and the tongue. Basically, there are no limits as you can implant as many diamonds as you want and at any part of the body.
Apart from diamonds or colorful gems you can go for microdermal jewelry tops that are also called as microdermal anchors. that are available in various shapes and variations. You can go for simple round shape tops for a simple yet edgy look. Girls can choose from star shape, flower shape, heart shape, or butterfly shape tops to get the pretty and feminine look. You can also go microdermal danglers that are very popular with college students. Half ball is again one of the most preferred style with boys. It looks like a small steel ball on your skin when its implanted properly. One of the best location to implant the jewelery is the tattoo if you have any. A rightly placed microdermal jewelry can enhance the beauty of your tattoo.
You can choose any microdermal jewelry but make sure that it is implanted by a professional. Also be assured to buy a jewelery made from titanium and not steel or any other material. The risk of developing any kind of skin infection is less with titanium as it is less reactionary in the human body. But even with titanium you carry the risk of inward traveling infection, keloids, hyper tropic scarring, bruising, and other risks of body piercing. In most of the cases, the skin rash and redness disappears after few days but if it persists for longer you must go to the doctor or visit a professional who did the implant for you. Also remember, that you have to remove the implant by a surgical process by a doctor or professional only. So go for microdermal jewelry only if you are ready to pay a price for it.

Microdermal Piercing Removal
Microdermal piercings are a new trend growing amongst youngster and adults today. They're dunking the old method of surface piercings and shifting to a whole new level of piercing one's skin. Microdermal piercings are those which consist of a entry point, but no exit point so that the jewelery doesn't poke its end out of the skin. Here the piercing penetrates the skin to a considerable level, where the jewelery has a flattened surface with holes in it, so that, the skin heals around and through it, giving it more leverage to hold down the piercing in place. In this way the wound is given significant healing space with a higher chance of it not rejecting the piercing jewelry.
The other end of the microdermal implant which peeks out of the skin, can be changed as and when the person wants since this can be screwed in and unscrewed with different ends. These surface anchors, as they are called require a surgical procedure that is not painful to undergo, and can be done successfully by a trained microdermal piercer. Microdermal piercing removal procedures are the ones that aren't easy to withstand since these require a lot of painful maneuvers. We'll see how this is done and what costs come into play to get it done.
Microdermal Piercing Surgical Procedure
In order to remove a piercing, the person in question who has the microdermal piercing and seeks removal will have to either go back to the same person he/she got it from, or go to a trusted piercer to have it removed. The procedure involves two surgical instruments to be on hand.
* Scalpel
* Forceps
It is important to go to a sterile parlor to get your removal done for fear of an infection. Those who seek removal procedures sometimes try to do this on their own, but keep in mind that surface anchors with inserted flattened surfaces are not easily removable, being a permanent piercing to begin with. So when this is done, the piercer firsts wipes the area with an anti septic liquid to keep the area sterilized and ready for incision. A cut is made through the skin around where the anchor is placed, making it big enough to pull the microdermal jewelry out using the forceps. It is a painful procedure no doubt, but has to be done nonetheless especially if the body is rejecting it due to some reason. It is known to be quite a reliable choice of piercing, considering that it is a permanent type that isn't meant to be removed. There are certain things to look out for when getting this done, being as dicey a piercing as it is. Possible problems that can arise with a microdermal piercing are hypertrophic scarrings, inward traveling infections, implant rejections, keloids, bruising and deep microdermal placement.
Microdermal Piercing Scars - Removal Aftermath and Costs
The scars remaining that are left behind after a microdermal piercing is removed, depends on what kind of body piercing jewelry you have affixed into yourself. Surface anchors are a more complicated type of body piercing jewelry, being a very deep set and sturdy choice of jewelry. Others go for jewelry that sometimes easily pop out of their skins, since the body rejects these and pushes them out through the wound. Not all piercings react well with one's body, so the chances of being subjected to a rejection are high if you don't use the right kind of jewelry. The scars are severe when the surgical means call for a tissue tearing around the area, where healing can take time provided you apply something for it to heal faster. If an infection is the one to blame, then scarring is more severe and will take time to heal and may leave lasting marks if not treated sooner.
Microdermal piercing removal cost doesn't really require that you shell out big bucks. Some piercers do it for free, while others charge a small fee to have it removed. Getting it done in the first place will cost you about 30-40$ alone, while removing it isn't all that much of an expense.
Microdermal piercing removal procedures are usually done because the surface area that one has it on isn't agreeing to the presence of the piercing. Others may want to get rid of it overtime if not accepted in a workplace or situation. Opting for this kind of piercing over a surface piercing needs your one hundred assurance, since as you can see, things change and call for a removal procedure. Whatever your reasons to have this removed, just be sure to go to a trusted piercer to have it done professionally.

* Another method of using the saline solution is by using cotton swabs to clean the area around it. Cotton swabs should be dipped in the saline solution and used to clean dirt as well as crusty matter around the piercing.
* Once you are done, you should wipe off the fluid with a soft towel or a clean tissue. Make sure that you simply dab or pat gently, and not wipe or rub harshly. The solution can be used 2-3 times a day.

Fake Eyebrow Piercing
It is not easy to get away with a piercing of any kind, especially if you have really strict or conservative parents. This leaves many youngsters wanting eyebrow piercings with a problematic dilemma. If you are one such teenager stuck in the same catch 22 situation, you might as well think of safer options. If you are really fascinated by eyebrow jewelry, and cannot get a permanent one done just yet, I suggest that you go in for fake eyebrow piercings.
Let your parents know that it’s fake and demonstrate so by simply removing the jewelry in front of them. Or the safest option would be to not wear the jewelry around them at all and wear it only when you are comfortable and among friends. This article discusses about the clip on types of fake eyebrow piercings and a few ways of making it seem like you have eyebrow barbell.
Types of Fake Eyebrow Piercings
Fake Ring Clips
You must always go in for a small ring which has a flexible and clamping clip. The big ones look very odd and stick out in odd directions sometimes. You can get these fake clips from any jewelry shop or piercing shop which sells artificial items as well. Or you could try using fake ear piercing rings on your eyebrow, as these look great as well. The problem lies in the fact that fake eyebrow piercings can look real, but it all depends on how well it suits and fits your eyebrow. Do not go in for rings which have designs or colors, as it will cause people to pay more attention on the piece of jewelry.
The Barbell Effect
The entire idea is to make a fake eyebrow piercing look realistic. One of the simplest ways on how to make a fake eyebrow piercing is by using gem stickers, or plain black or silver stickers which are used for making fake body art. You can fix a sticker each on the upper and lower part of the eyebrow so that it looks aligned. The best thing about these stickers is that you can keep changing the colors and suing cooler designs which have peace signs, yin and yang etc.
Metal Art
I know it may seem like too much trouble but in case you wish to have a fake eyebrow piercing for a play or a costume party, you can try a very simple method. What you need to do is get hold of a real metal eyebrow piercing. Make sure that barbell ball has a thick base. Now cut the two balls using a cutting plier. Use some eyelash glue and stick the base of the metal ball onto your skin. It will remain there for a few hours if you do not fiddle with it. This is by far the most realistic way of pretending you have a fake eyebrow piercing. The second alternative is to use fake or real labret studs or gems, which can be cut and stuck on your skin using glue.
The clips on rings are by far the safest option you have without embarrassing yourself. All other options have very high risk of falling off if the glue doesn’t hold. The clip is subtle and can easily fool others into believing it’s real. If after trying all these methods the fake eyebrow piercing doesn’t work out for you, my advice would be that you simply wait, until you’re old enough to get one without seeking permission.
When you think about all the efforts put into wearing a fake piece of jewelry, it hardly seems worth it. Secondly piercings are means of self expression, but if you are not allowed to get a real one there seems no point in faking your, self expression, now is it?
