Are you having a breakup or personal crisis and fancy getting a piercing? Well today is your lucky day! Piercings can help you reinvent yourself and add a splash of alternative colour to your everyday look. As piercings are a permanent investment it is important to figure out the best places to go to. We have collated a list of our favourite piercing spots that will give you safe piercings and beautiful jewellery.
For all piercings it is always best to be pierced using a needle rather than a gun to avoid tissue damage and prolonged healing. Every piercer will inform you on the correct aftercare steps and let you know that piercings require maintenance at first. If you will be going on a holiday that requires swimming or high levels of activity it may not be the best time to be pierced, as the extra friction and water contact may cause the piercing to get infected.
