The first thing to keep in mind is that the person who will pierce you must be a good professional: no beginners whose work you have to regret later. Never let that person use inappropriate needles, and you should make sure they have had a rigorous process of sterilization. Thus you will avoid the risk of contracting a contagious disease which might be AIDS in case the needles have been previously employed in someone infected.

No rough rings or earrings hurting the skin or mucous membranes, because although piercing wounds heal between 7 and 10 days, every precautions must be taken. During that time you will clean the area with saline and heal with antibiotic and healing ointments that are easy to get. Specialists also recommend taking antibiotic pills to avoid internal infection.

So, you know already. If after all the risks you insist in getting a piercing, you must meet certain requirements to ensure your aesthetic and physical security. When it is about piercing, we have to make it safe.
