I was surprised to learn recently that a large
number of people who have some kind of body modification go on to suffer
with problems afterwards. In fact as many as 25% of people in the 16 to
24 age bracket who have had piercings end up with some kind of
complication and need to go to hospital for treatment. Most
of these problems come about because people have visited a place to get
their body modification and it has not been completed properly or
hygienically. Of course some people actually try to attempt the body
modification themselves and this is another source of potential health
problems that may lead to a visit to the nearest hospital.
So the best advice is not to attempt to do the body modification by yourselves
as this can be very dangerous and make sure that you seek out a
professional body modification expert to carry out the procedure for
you. Better to spend a bit more money than to try and get it done on the
cheap and risk your health and wellbeing.
The
areas of the body that are popular with people include the nose, the
ears, the tongue as well as the nipples, the eyebrows and the belly
button.
Girls are more likely to get a belly button piercing however; this kind of piercing is not prevalent with guys, whereas, nipple piercing is more popular with the guys than with the ladies.
The most probable problems connected to piercings in the 16 to 24 age group are swelling, bleeding and infections, the tongue is the most problematical area for problems, closely followed by nipples.
These
are the areas that need to be looked after in order to keep yourself
healthy and avoid the health problems associated with body
modifications.
