Body piercing is a form of body modification that dates back to ancient times. Today, ear piercing is the most widely accepted body modification for both men and women, and some parents opt to pierce their children's ears at quite an early age, sometimes as young as a few months old. The alternative lifestyle, however, takes body piercings to the extreme, punching holes in such body parts as the nose, eyebrows, navel, nipples, tongue, genitalia and even random areas of the skin like the back of the neck or the forearm. In this free video series on body modification, a licensed piercer offers body piercing tips and advice. Learn to wash a pierced face with the right kind of soap to prevent infection, and find out how to treat keloids, an overgrowth of tissue around a pierced area. Get tips on choosing the right nose ring and navel ring, and learn the basics of using a piercing needle. Whether considering a first body modification or adding to a piercing collection, consult a professional for from-the-source piercing advice.
