Where to get pierced?

Piercing is not as small as it looks. With so many risks involved it is important to make sure you get it done from a right place so that you enjoy those piercings rather than complicating your condition. Consider the following factors before you head to piercing:-

Do research to find out the best places near you that offer safe piercing by professionals.
You can check for doctors who perform ear & body piercings.
Never opt for a stand in some mall,or jewellery shop for ear piercing as you can never be sure about sterility of the needles and procedure.
Make sure that the clinic uses autoclave (sterilizing machine).

Piercing can be performed using needles or piercing guns. Needles are cleaner than a piercing gun and can be easily sterilized before use. In case, your piercer is using a piercing gun you must ensure that it is for single-use purpose. Moreover, if you want piercing on ear cartilage or on body than you must consider only needles as piercing guns are good on the earlobes.
