If you have facial piercings it is recommended that you do not wear makeup during the first several days to a week.
* Certain metals should never be used in fresh body piercings. The greater the amount of nickel body jewelry contains, the greater the allergen risk. Using nickel, which is not biocompatible, in pierced body jewelry may cause difficult healing and sensitivity issues. It's important to avoid these following metals when purchasing your first piece of body jewelry.
- Bronze and Brass; varied alloys were employed in use and more often than not caused skin irritations which were painful, and also potentially serious infections.
- Cadmium and chromium are both toxic and may be absorbed by your body.
- Copper too may produce an adverse skin reaction.
- When it comes to choosing body jewelry, gold plated isn't always the best, because not only are you spending more for the gold, the plating will come off in time, leaving you with just the original metal used.
- Pewter; lots of pewter alloys include lead ingredients that might result in exposure to toxic lead.
- Tin contains small amounts of lead.
- Nickel causes allergic reactions and you should never use pierced body jewelry that contains this metal. In many European countries, it is illegal to sell pierced jewelry that contains more than 0.5% nickel.
- Sterling Silver is only 0.This body jewelry is 925% real silver, so be cautioned that some contents may be other possible skin irritant metals. Whether human skin, bodily fluids, or even air, silver oxidizes when it comes into contact with these things. Silver is also a soft metal that can easily be nicked or scratched, and bacteria could grow in these nicks. It is safe to wear silver pierced jewelry in healed piercings, however.
- Gold; surprisingly, gold is not recommended for initial pierced body jewelry. Even though it is correct that higher, more desirable grades of gold, 24 and 18 karat, the hardness of the metal depends on gold's karat and nickel count. Because higher concentrations of gold are softer, it is subject to denting and bacteria are able to flourish within these malformations. Please note that many 14-karat gold based alloys do contain traces of silver, copper, brass, and zinc and sometimes nickel. For your first piercing, it isn't a good idea to use gold body jewelry.
* It is recommended that your body jewelry is made out of a more expensive metal. The following metals are recommended:
- Surgical-quality Stainless Steel; this relates to surgically implant grades 316L or 316LVM and it is probably the most widely used metal for pierced body jewelry. Nevertheless, many people do have allergic reactions to SSS, and some Europeans countries have actually prohibited its use for new piercings.
- Niobium is quite a bit costlier than SSS as well as more durable. It is ideal for those who are greatly sensitive to metals and for your initial body piercing jewelry. It comes in gray or colorful anodized finishes.
- Titanium is considered a high-grade type of metal containing under05% of nickel content in it. It is strong and cannot be scratched or dented. Titanium is the most expensive metal used for body jewelry. Because it is anodized, it is available in a broad range of hues. If you are hypersensitive to SSS and Niobium and if your pocketbook permits it, then you should choose titanium for your first piece of body jewelry.
