Tattoo and piercing

Tattoo and piercing Piercings and tattoos are body decorations that go back to ancient times. Body piercing involves making a hole in the skin so that you can insert jewelry.

This is often in the earlobe, but can be in other parts of the body. Tattoos are designs on the skin

That tattoo on your arm of a former flame—the one that seemed like a great idea years ago—is kind of embarrassing today. And your spouse is not too crazy about it either. But removing a tattoo isn’t as easy as it might seem. It can be painful, and risks include possible scarring and infection. But when done by a trained dermatologist, laser surgery can be safe and effective. Want to remove a tattoo? Talk to your dermatologist.

While state and local authorities oversee the practice of tattooing, inks and pigments used in tattoos are subject to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversight as cosmetics. FDA takes action to protect consumers when safety issues arise related to the inks.

At the other end of the tattoo process, FDA also regulates laser devices used to remove tattoos. In recent years, FDA has cleared for marketing several types of lasers for tattoo lightening or removal.

What Happens During a Piercing?
This is what to expect from getting a body part pierced:

-The body piercer should wash their hands with antibacterial soap and water and wear clean, fresh gloves.
-The area to be pierced (except for the tongue) is cleaned with alcohol or other antiseptic.
-You should see the piercer remove needles and equipment from sterile containers.
-Your skin is then punctured with a piercing gun (for earrings only) or a very sharp, single-use needle.
-The piece of jewelry, which has already been sterilized, is placed.
-The body piercer disposes of the needle in a special container so that there is no risk of the needle or blood touching someone else.

The body piercer will give you instructions on how to care for your new piercing and what to do if there is a problem.

How Can I Get a Body Piercing Safely?
Body piercing is regulated in some states but not others. If you decide to get a body piercing, ask about the shop's procedures and make sure it has a clean and safe environment for its customers.

Every shop should have an autoclave (a sterilizing machine) and keep sterilized instruments in sealed packets until they are used. Ask questions and make sure that the body piercer:

-is a licensed practitioner
-washes their hands before each procedure
-wears fresh disposable gloves (like those worn at a doctor's office)
-uses single-use needles and sterilized instruments
-uses ear-piercing guns that are sterilized or disposable

The shop also should follow procedures for the proper handling and disposal of waste (like needles or gauze with blood on them).

Before you get a piercing, find out if you're allergic to any metals, like nickel or brass. Choose jewelry (including backs or studs) made from metals that are less likely to cause reactions, such as:

-surgical stainless steel
-solid gold (not gold-filled or gold-plated)
-niobium
-titanium

If you think the shop isn't clean enough, if all your questions aren't answered, or if you feel in any way uncomfortable, go somewhere else to get your piercing.

Body piercing is when a hole is made in your body so you can add a piece of jewelry for decoration. The earlobe is the most common body piercing. Some people also pierce their ear cartilage (the hard part of the outer ear). Other places to pierce include the eyebrow, nose, tongue, lip, belly button, ni***es, and ge****ls.

The health risks of piercings and tattoos include:
-Allergic reactions
-Keloids, a type of scar that forms during healing
-Infections, such as hepatitis

To reduce the risks, make sure that the facility is clean, safe and has a good reputation. Proper sterilization of the equipment is important. Be sure to follow the instructions on caring for your skin.

Holes from piercing usually close up if you no longer wear the jewelry. It is possible to remove tattoos, but it's painful and can cause scarring.
