Titanium earrings are very good for people who get piercings, because they prevent infections and are the equivalent of medicinal gold. But let us start with the beginning. Body modification is an aesthetic trend that is now popular among all types of individuals, from the redneck with the pierced ear to the elegant lady at a charity event with a delicate piercing in her navel for that special someone.
As opposed to tattoos, piercings are not permanent. Once the titanium earrings are removed, the hole will close up in time (and if the wound is not completely healed, the hole will close up very fast). Once you are convinced that you want to get a piercing (because it’s cool, because my class mate has one, because it represents you, because you want to make a personal statement and you are not sure how, because you like the idea or simply because you want to be outrageous), you need to know several things about piercings.
Face piercing ; Nose piercing - The hole in the nose is made with the piercing gun. It hurts a bit, heals pretty quickly but it can get easily infected (from dust, cold, blowing your nose).
Brow piercing - It is performed with local anesthetics, and the hole is punctured with a needle. It does not hurt at all, it heals up fast, but you are predisposed to infection if you do not maintain good hygiene in the area, as well as use a clean towel and clean pillow case. If you go with a twin-cone piercing, be careful not to get it stuck in various clothes and in the towel.
Tongue piercing - It is done with local anesthetics and the hole is punctured with a needle. The wound heals fast, between 1-2 days and one week, which is also as long as the pain lasts (as well as the inability to swallow solid foods). The tongue could swell or not, depending on how your body reacts and on the things you put in your mouth (no dairy products, no smoking and no hot foods). You will be speaking with a lisp for several days and you should say goodbye to licking spoons.
