10 Reasons to Avoid Body Piercing
Piercing your body is a decision you should not make in haste. If you think that there are compelling reasons for you to pierce your body, then take a moment to read this. There are equally compelling reasons to avoid piercing your body. Here are 10 such reasons:
1. The danger of HIV always looms large
If the body piercings are not done hygienically and the needles or equipment used are not new or sterilized, then there’s always the risk of contracting fatal diseases like AIDS. Why take such a chance and expose your body to such danger?
2. The risk of infection is always there
A piercing always comes with the risk of infection. No matter how much the so called professional piercing artist claims the procedure to be risk free, but the risk of infection is always there. Sometimes it can become pretty ugly.
3. You might end up getting seriously hurt or injured
Often the ‘professional’ piercers are just amateurs who have picked up tricks from here and there. After all, there’s really no formal curriculum or training for such things. So you always run the risk of exposing yourself to some amateur who might end up hurting you or injuring you.
4. You might regret it later
Often people go ahead and get themselves pierced, only to regret later. The reason for regretting can be that piercing may not suit your personality or the place where you have got piercing done looks odd.
5. It can make you look unprofessional
Perhaps, the only acceptable piercing is the ear piercing for women in corporate world. Rest of the visible body piercings may make you look highly unprofessional and incompetent. So think about these aspects too before making a decision to get yourself pierced.
