History of body piercing

Throughout history, body piercing have been practiced by many cultures.
Like tattooing, body piercing has been practiced in many cultures for many centuries. Body piercing was often identified with royalty and portrayed courage and virility. Egyptian Pharaohs pierced their navels as a rite of passage. Roman soldiers pierced their nipples to show their manhood. Mayans pierced their tongues as a spiritual ritual, and both sexes of Victorian royalty chose nipple and genital piercing.

How to choose a piercing artist?

Visit several piercers. The work area should be kept in a clean and sanitary condition and have good lighting. If they refuse to discuss cleanliness and infection control, go somewhere else.
Consent forms (which the customer must fill out) should be handled before piercing. Reputable piercing studios will not serve a minor without signed consent from parents. Check the laws in your state about piercing of minors if you are under 18.
The piercer should have an autoclave - a heat sterilization machine used to sterilize equipment between customers. Most piercers are proud of their sterilization equipment.
Packaged, sterilized  needles should be used only once and then thrown away in a special biohazard container.

Immediately before piercing, the piercer should wash and dry his or her hands and put on latex gloves. The gloves should be worn at all times during the piercing procedure. If the piercer leaves the procedure and touches other objects such as the phone, new gloves should be used.
A piercing gun should not be used because it cannot be sterilized properly. Only jewelry made of a non-corrosive metal, such as surgical stainless steel, niobium, titanium, or solid 14K gold is safe for a new piercing. Gold-plated jewelry should not be used.
