Piercing isn’t as easy as shopping, but sometimes it’s not that hard. The process itself is quick and seemingly simple, but it should not be carried out without a good knowledge of the anatomy, the sterilization process, the materials to be used and the methods of wound healing.

It is important that piercing jewelry and work materials are sterilized beforehand. The skin is disinfected and numb with a local anesthetic. After that, the place is marked and pricked with a needle. The jewelry is threaded through a needle and pulled through the resulting hole. This procedure can be repeated so that a slight bleeding will occur.

Bleeding should stop after a short time. The next step is to wipe and clean the wound.
