Types of piercing jewelry. Jewelry for all types of piercing. There are several types of sterilization for this.

Piercing is in the list of services of almost every beauty salon. The fantasy of jewelers offering piercing jewelry knows no bounds.

Types of earrings (piers)

Piercing earrings are called piers. Their choice is huge: from simple rings to complex designs.

Requirements for decorations

1. Jewelry must have a smooth, easily processed surface.
2. The carving on the jewelry should be completely hidden under the ball.
3. Jewelry should not squeeze fabrics.

Rings

The most commonly used piers are the rings. They use a ball or ring segment as a fastener, which makes it completely smooth. You can insert the ring into almost any part of the body, you just need to choose the right diameter of the circle and the thickness of the wire.

Circular

One of the varieties of the ring is the so-called "circular" - a horseshoe-like pier with two swirling balls. Circulars also differ in circumference diameter, wire thickness and the size of the closing balls. Depending on this, circulars can be hung, for example, in the lobe and cartilage of the ear, nasal septum, eyebrow, nipple, navel and intimate parts of the body.

And if you imagine a circular coiled in a spiral, you get a pier called "twisters". These earrings also come in large, medium and small. They are useful for piercing the ears, eyebrows, nipples, navel.

barbells

The main among the more even piers are "barbells", which means "rods" in translation. The name comes from an appearance that really looks like a bodybuilder's shell: balls are screwed onto a flat stick on both sides, and for more extreme personalities, cones or balls with spikes.

The longest rods (22-24mm) are used for primary tongue piercings. When the tongue is punctured, the so-called post-traumatic edema occurs, as a result of which it swells and increases significantly. If at this time the earring “presses”, unpleasant complications may arise, for example, the insertion of a ball into the fabric. Smaller "barbells" (sometimes called "dumbbells" due to their association with sports equipment) 6-10 mm long and 1.2-1.6 mm thick wire are suitable for piercing the eyebrow, nasal septum or intimate piercing.

Carnation Labret

For the upper and lower lips, as well as for the dimple of the chin, an earring is used with the name "Labret's carnation", after the name of its inventor. It looks like a shortened rod, ending with a smooth plate on one side and a ball on the other. The plate is located on the inside of the lip. For a feeling of complete comfort, its surface is not absolutely flat, but with a slight bend forward, towards the lip, in the form of a hemisphere. The length of the threaded stick itself is from 6 to 12 mm, the thickness of the wire is 1.2 and 1.6 mm. At the request of the client, the outer ball can be replaced with a cone, a pyramid, a ball with spikes or rhinestones.

Nostril

From many years of piercing practice, it became clear that the studs that are used to pierce the earlobe are not suitable for permanent wear in the nose, or rather in the wing of the nose, as they are easily lost due to the lack of a lock. In addition, they can damage the nasal septum with their sharp tip. Therefore, a special form of carnation, twisted in a spiral, was developed, which was called "nostril", or "nostril screw". At the moment of threading the earring, it must be screwed into the hole like a screw. Such an earring does not bring any inconvenience to its owner and is not lost. The outer part of the "nostril" has various shapes, the most common of which is a small ball with a diameter of 2-3 mm or a ball with a rhinestone. But there can also be cones, spirals, pyramids, squares and even flies.

Banana

The most commonly used navel piercing is the banana. 90% of navel piercing clients are women, the development of new models is designed mainly for them. Banana is the most physiological earring for the navel: a slightly curved rod (standard dimensions: length 1 cm, wire diameter 1.6 mm) is very well suited for body curves in this area and does not interfere with movement. In the classic version, the banana ends with balls on both sides. A larger ball is located directly in the deepening of the navel (diameter 6-8 mm), and a smaller one is located in the upper part of the puncture, at the same time being a fastener (diameter 4-5 mm).

For navel piercings, it is considered good manners to have many different earrings and change them depending on the outfits. These can be bananas made of metals of various colors, decorated with crystal inserts, precious or semi-precious stones. In place of the lower ball, there may be a butterfly made of silver or gold, a lizard, a flower, a dice, or a heart studded with rhinestones.

Piercing jewelry is a product made of hypoallergenic material that does not cause allergies, rejection and accelerates the healing of a fresh wound. The success of the final result depends on the correctly selected earring. If the product has a large or small length, thickness or design, then the canal is subject to regular damage, bleeding and long healing. This threatens infected inflammation.

Types of jewelry

How to choose jewelry for different types of piercing

If you decide to search for piercing jewelry on your own, you should know the main factors and the differences between them.

Which earrings are suitable for certain places on the body:

• Brows. For a fresh puncture, experts advise using microbananas and microbars. These products differ in appearance. At the time of healing, the size of the structure should not exceed 1 cm. This will help to avoid tissue damage and stretching. If a ring is inserted, there is an increased risk of injury from contact with clothing and hair.
• Nose. This zone is decorated with small carnations, micro-labrets, nostrils, horseshoes, rings. The first two varieties help the wound heal faster, the rest are used after complete tightening. A barbell and its analogues are inserted into the nasal septum.
• Ear. A suitable place for a puncture, here is the highest percentage of engraftment and a favorable outcome. For fresh damage, it is allowed to use an earring of any kind and a tunnel. The main thing is that the product does not pull the ear. Bananas and cloves will also look perfect here. For cartilage and tragus, a micro barbell is recommended.
• Language. To overgrow the canal, miniature bananas and rods are used, made from hypoallergenic and natural materials. If there is a desire to use the ring, then only after the formation of the channel.
• Navel. At first, all types of earrings can be inserted into the hole, the main thing is that the edges are not sharp and do not cling to clothes. It is not advisable to use surgical steel, as it does not have the best effect on the regeneration process.
• Lip. For a fresh puncture, labrets, small rings are used.

It is impossible to insert two products next to each other at the same time, since there are many closely spaced vessels on the lips, which will negatively affect the healing of the canals.

• Nipples. Masters recommend that their clients insert rings and miniature rods into the puncture. The wound healing process is not affected by the size and thickness of the jewelry.
• Microdermal. For this type of piercing, special designs of the same name are used, which are implanted inside the skin. The product is held by a special base-anchor.

What material is preferable

Various materials are used in the production of decorative products, but not all of them are ideal for piercing. In some cases, rejection occurs and a scar forms at the puncture site. To avoid this, you need to know about the properties of different types of materials.

• Earrings made of polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon, PTFE).

The material is hypoallergenic, not able to harm the wound. The composition does not contain harmful substances that can be released into the lymph and blood. The metal is flexible, so products made from it are recommended for implantation piercing, eyebrows and as a replacement for the navel during pregnancy.

• Gold.

For the body, only jewelry of the highest standard is suitable - the 750th. It should not be inserted into the eyebrow, worn on the lips, nipples and tongue due to the risk of allergies and non-engraftment.

• Surgical or medical steel.

Banned material in several countries in Europe and North America. Earrings from it are not even sold in these territories. It is dangerous because of the high content of toxic nickel.

• Silver.

It is characterized as an aggressive metal. Strongly oxidized, negatively affects the blood and lymph. During healing, black spots, purulent discharge and inflammation are formed.

What material is considered the best for punctures on the body? Titanium. Piercing jewelry made of titanium is suitable for any body. It contains no harmful alloys and toxins.

The metal is used in medicine for implantation. Conforms to American and Swiss safety quality standards.

When buying earrings for piercing, one should not be guided only by the external beauty of the product. The choice should be made according to the main categories. When factors are taken into account, the chance of good healing and canal formation increases. To avoid mistakes, consult with the master.

Piercing is becoming more and more popular these days. Diverse types of piercing allow anyone to choose among this decoration what suits him best, and the sanitary and hygienic conditions provided by many tattoo studios with existing sterilization ovens and bactericidal chambers that offer punctures of various parts of the face and body make this procedure painless and safely.

It should be noted that whatever types of piercing you choose, it must be carried out in tattoo studios or salons where professionals in this field work, and not at home. Also, do not trust all kinds of craftsmen who are ready to make holes or even cut anything for a moderate fee, just to get their money. Naturally, in such cases it is not necessary to talk about hygiene, and the consequences can be tragic.

If you decide to get a piercing, then be prepared to take care of the pierced places. Lack of hygiene in the piercing area can lead to the most unpleasant consequences. It is necessary to wash the puncture site, and also lubricate it with ointment, which specialists from the salon or tattoo studio will help you choose (chlorhexidine or miramistin are usually used for this purpose).

Types of piercing are so diverse that their total number can be calculated not only in the hundreds, but also in the thousands. Usually, the following are distinguished, subdivided into subspecies of the group:

Eyebrow piercing heals within a month. It is distinguished by the soreness of the puncture, so this piercing is especially valued among "knowledgeable" people. Usually such a piercing can be found in those who already have two or three punctures.

nose piercing is divided into two types: nostril piercing (which has become especially popular at the present time) and nasal septum piercing. Finding a professional who knows how to do it right is not so easy, but we will be happy to help you with this. If you have had a nose piercing, keep in mind that when applying cosmetics, you must ensure that the puncture site remains clean, so if you cannot imagine yourself without cosmetics, it is better to choose a different type of piercing.

Lip piercing is also a fairly common type of piercing. Today, lips are pierced in a variety of places - in the middle, along the edges. Usually lip piercing heals for about one to two months, during which time problems with eating, as well as diction, may appear. It is better to avoid taking foods containing a lot of spices. And also alcohol. By the way, due to food restrictions after a lip piercing, people often lose one or two kilograms in weight.

Belly button piercing becoming more and more popular among young people. However, before making such a puncture, it is worth knowing that its healing lasts for four whole months, during which physical exertion on the abdominal muscles should be avoided.

Nipple piercing heals in about one to three months. A pleasant surprise after the puncture will be a slight increase in the size of the nipples.

Ear piercing it is not even always considered as a piercing, it is so common. Modern ear piercing includes piercings of the earlobe as well as the cartilage of the auricle. An earlobe piercing usually heals within one to two weeks. It may take up to a month for a cartilage puncture to heal. Recently, tunnels have become more widespread - especially large cylinders inserted into the earlobe, having different sizes in diameter.

tongue piercing heals within one to two weeks, during which you will have to experience minor problems with eating and talking (depending on the location of the jewelry when piercing the tongue), so please note that you will have to give up hot and spicy food for a while. Today, tongue piercing has become widespread.

How is the procedure?

Piercing is the piercing of a part of the body with a special needle. Its diameter may vary. How is the piercing procedure carried out in the cabin?

1) The workplace and tools must be sterile clean, for this the master prepares them in advance.

2) Before the puncture, a place on the body is treated with a special antiseptic agent. And a mark is placed where the piercing will be located.

3) A needle with a cap is inserted into a special device for piercing, where the selected decoration is attached.

4) When the needle is removed, the earring remains at the puncture site.

5) After the procedure, all types of piercing are processed by the master.

6) The specialist is obliged to instruct on care.

Nowadays, modern methods of puncture are used. But there are a number of restrictions prohibiting this procedure:

Allergy to pain medications or materials used;

Colds, including fever;

Skin rashes, poor blood clotting;

Minors (must have written permission from parents);

Pregnancy;

Weakening of the immune system;

Especially serious diseases (diabetes mellitus, hepatitis, HIV).

How to properly care?

The puncture is washed with a special disinfectant solution, which can be purchased at any pharmacy (Chlorhexidine, hydrogen peroxide, Miramistin). All types of piercings are processed for about 2 weeks (until complete healing) twice a day. They take a cosmetic stick, moisten it with a solution and gently clean around the jewelry. Dried blood can be removed with a moistened cotton swab (the compress is applied for 10 minutes). Experts categorically forbid removing dried crusts.

Important to know: do not stretch or turn the jewelry until the puncture is completely healed.

To care for a piercing in the mouth, you need to purchase rinse solutions (Stomatidin, Peridex). The antiseptic effect of such drugs minimizes pain and prevents infections from developing. Rinse about 5 times a day. Do not consume: alcoholic beverages, salty and spicy foods. During the healing period, they refrain from kissing and oral sex to avoid infection.

When can the decoration be changed?

Each organism is individual and copes with healing in different ways. If the puncture is no longer a concern, this does not mean that you can change the jewelry. It all depends on proper care.

Approximate puncture healing time:

On the face - about 2 weeks;

Navel - up to 6 months;

Nipples - up to 2 months;

Labia - up to 1 month. Clitoris piercing heals longer (horizontal - about 3 months, vertical - up to 2 months). Only after complete healing can the earring be changed.

Possible Complications

1. First of all, all types of body piercing are accompanied by pain, as evidenced by the reviews. But more serious complications are also possible.
2. The puncture violates the structure of living tissues, and the wound heals more slowly due to a foreign body. If the procedure or care was not followed correctly, inflammation, blood poisoning, and an allergic reaction may begin.
3. Poor-quality intimate piercing on the clitoris can cause frigidity (loss of the ability to feel an orgasm).
4. Some jewelry, being in the body, brings discomfort.

1) Before you decorate your body, you need to think carefully about the place.

3) Heat slows down the healing process, so the optimal period for a puncture is the cool season.

4) First, choose the lightest earring made of medical steel, so as not to load the wound.

5) The procedure is performed only with disposable instruments.

6) The master and the salon are selectively chosen.

7) If sensitivity to pain is increased, an analgesic is suggested.

8) The master must tell about all the shortcomings, about the right choice of jewelry, about the consequences, answer all questions of interest.

9) Proper piercing takes place with minimal blood loss.
