Is it worth the risk?
While a piercing can act as a fashion statement and drastically alter your look, there are dangerous implications and risks involved as well.
If you do decide to get a piercing, make sure to follow these cautionary tips. Rather than relying on a friend, make sure you get your piercing professionally done and ask about the salon's sterilization methods. Whoever is performing the procedure should be knowledgeable and able to answer any questions you may have and know about proper aftercare.
Make sure to also ask for a Public Health services inspection certificate, so you know you are in good hands!
