Dermal Piercing - The new wave!

Dermal Anchor - the new piercing trend
Dermal anchor or dermal piercing is similar to single-point pocketing. It's where you put the base of the jewelry (dermal anchor base) under the skin and where only the top part appears.

The piercing procedure is simpler than the one for transdermal. While the healing time, if taken the proper precautions, is great. You'll never notice you have it all along. Plus since our dermal anchors are made of Surgical steel (top part) and Titanium G23 (base part), they are hypoallergenic and very safe to use.

Our collection of dermal anchors contains anchors with different logo on them, with balls and cones. With colorful cubic zirconia stones and some are plain and simple but totally funky once used. They also comes in different sizes. You can check them out here and see what you have been missing.

Bioplast studds

Bioplast/Bioflex can be combined with other piercing charms, such as silver, surgical steel, UV Acrylic, titanium and whole lot more. It also comes in different colors that make the jewelry more attractive and an option to customize it with the other jewelries. IF you are using push end jewelry charms and the bioplast/bioflex barbell is long, you can trim it off to your desired length.

So if you are health conscious and still want to get pierced or wear a piercing jewelry, my best advice is to buy a jewelry that has this material. You will not just have attractive body jewelry but will also keep you harms away from infections and other aversion that piercing will do to your body.

See below for some sample of a body jewelry that is made of bioplast/bioflex material.

PEWTER - FUNKY COOL PIERCINGS

Pewter is a metal alloy with 85-99% tin while the remaining percent is copper. While the copper act as a hardening. Pewter is bright and shiny metal that is almost the same as silver. Like silver, pewter will also oxidize to a dull gray over time if left untreated. Pewter is a very malleable alloy, being soft enough to carve with hand tools, and it also takes good impressions from punches or presses. Because of this inherent softness and malleability, however, pewter cannot be used to make tools itself. Some types of pewter pieces, such as candlesticks, would be turned on a metal lathe.

Pewter can be designed in different style like armour rings, cool rings and pendants. Some people, find pewter jewelries very funky and cool to wear. Especially men. It somehow projects masculinity. Well, it depends on the design and the style.

Below are the samples of pewter jewelry:

Piercing in the chest was painful to Pip Freak. To terminate the record Papa Freak pierced a couple rows into the front of Pip Freak’s leg. Pip Freak used heating pad throughout whole process to shun pain.

How about Eyelid Piercing?

I thought eyelids could be a place where no one would poke a hole but sorry to say, even that delicate part is not left untouched by trendsetters.

The process is not much complicated. It requires good and cautious piercer, but for the wearer it is painful with a feeling of uncomfort and loss on a night sleep. This is not the end, when you wake up in the morning, your eye will be red with swelling, pus and may be some blood clots too. But don’t dishearten yourself, after the healing-period has surpassed, you’ll feel better.

Remember, aftercare is very important as a little bit of carelessness can damage your eye. There are many creams and lotions available in the market for better healing. Then comes the choice of jewelry - you cannot wear any playful jewelry, so wear simple and smooth eyelid jewelry to save your eye from scratching.

Within few weeks, you will become quite used to the jewelry and your piercing will heal-up by that time.

Pierced Eyeglasses

Talking about eyeglasses is something normal but if you relate these eyeglasses with piercing then it becomes a matter to be talked about. James Sooy last year developed a pair of eyeglasses with the help of his friend Oliver. The peculiar thing about these eyeglasses is that they are pierced into the bridge of your nose.

Until date, this idea is not for sale but James dream to bring out marketable version of it. If these eyeglasses are for sale, they might cost you around or above $100 according to me.

Multiple facial Piercings

Body piercing has been around since the beginning of time, but it has gained popularity in the recent years. Today, it’s an influential trend, which is seen on most people. For some it might be a form of expression and for others a part of tradition. What reason do you think this guy has for his multiple facial piercings?

G.C. submitted these pictures on iam.bmezine.com and I brought it here for you as a treat and helpful idea for your next piercing. Okay! Come let’s count these piercings separately: three ear piercings i.e. orbital, anti-tragus and earlobe; two bridge piercings; two nostril piercings, a septum piercing and wears a plate in his labret piercing.

Recently it was reported that many young people are getting themselves pierced because of the reality TV shows, which are out these days regarding body piercing shops. It also said that youngsters look at piercing as a way to define themselves. Therefore, this body art has become a matter of thought for parents.

Eyeball Piercing

After tattoos and body piercing there is one more kind of piercing or you can say implant... that is tiny pieces of jewelry called ‘JewelEye’ in the mucous membrane of the eyes. However, it can be highly risky but I found it to be very cute.

The JewelEye device is 3.5 mm in diameter and offered in the following shapes: ring, heart, star. ring. The devices are packaged in a box with 10 sterile devices and the guidelines for use.

The cost of this implant in eye is expensive and will cost you some hundreds or thousands.

Apart from my likeness towards this implant I would personally feel like to suggest you not to do that to your eye it can cause loss of eyesight.

Other Side of Body Piercing: Navel Piercing

Body piercing is popular, especially among teens. However, body piercing and tattoos were once considered taboo but now they are more accepted. Vendetta, a 21-year-old senior in LAS, recently decided to pierce his lower lip, following a trend common among college students. (...)

Today, people get their any part pierced whether it is their ear, nose, tongue, eyebrows, lips, genitals, belly buttons or even other places. People are ready to poke holes in any part of their body. According to a dermatology study, three out of four Americans who are pierced are women, twice as many Democrats are pierced than Republicans, and about one out of three young adults sport tattoos. Besides the ear lobe, with women outnumbering men by 49-19 per cent, piercing is done on the nose, eyebrow, navel and the tongue. If you walk on a mall, you will see many piercing jewelries, which are not tacky or ugly, but are very regular pieces. So, what makes body piercing so bad, then?
Every different piercing has its own other face and I am here talking about the other side of ‘Navel Piercing.‘ Though navel is among the commonly pierced organ among teens, it is also one which takes as long as nine months to heal and often keloids (scar tissue) form. Infection is very common and most of the times students just take out the navel ring and let it heal.

On Feb, 16, Janaee Smith, a sophomore at Southside High, Greenville of South Carolina, got her navel pierced. Unfortunately, she died and her friend suspects her pierced navel to be the cause of her death, as she did it at home.

Amanda Crocker, a licensed professional for four years said following about piercing done at home:

It’s not uncommon to have a teenager come in that has had her naval pierced at home. A friend does it at a party maybe and it never turns out well... There are not just infections, but disease transmission is a big issue today. You have to be very careful’

She added that it’s never safe to get a piercing from someone unlicensed or at home as their instruments are not that sanitized. Three steps to achieve germ free instruments:

1. Instruments are sprayed and left for ten minutes

2. Set under UV light

3. Put through a steam process to kill any left over germs.

Thus, a proper sterilized instrument is available at licensed piercing parlor or shop. If you say that, you can arrange all these activities to sterilize your instrument then also I will say that you are not perfect to pierce your navel because you do not know the exact point where to pierce. In addition, if you pierce on some wrong point of your navel then you will end up with swelling or other problem.

Aftercare for your New Navel Piercing:
� Do not go out in sunlight or allow water to get into your a fresh piercing as it slows down healing or cause infection.

� Wear a one piece bathing suit if you are going to be out on a beach or cover your navel with bandage

� Keep your navel jewelry clean from dirt and debris (like lotions and sunscreen)

� Use best cleaning solution and method to clean your navel jewelry.

Hope you’ll keep in mind all above mentioned points while you go in for navel piercing.

Have a Happy Navel Piercing!

Earrings -a Fashion Statement of the Ages

Robert asked:
An earring is jewelry worn on the earlobe, usually clipped to the earlobe or fastened through a hole made in the earlobe. This is the piece of jewelry that is first noticed when looking at a person. This piece of jewelry decorates the ear and adds to the femininity of a woman. They are worn by both genders but to a lesser extent by man. They give the finishing touch to beauty and make a fashion statement.

History of earrings dates back to 2500 BC. In those days, earrings were worn only by the nobility. In the middle ages, this type of jewelry had taken a backseat as more importance was given to very elaborate hairstyles and neck pieces. They did make a comeback, and the metals used in the making of earrings were so heavy that the weight of the earrings caused elongated earlobes.

All precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, and silver are used in the making of this adornment. Materials such as plastic, glass, and beads were used too. Precious gemstones like ruby, sapphire, topaz, diamond, and emerald were mounted on to the precious metal, giving the earring a more colorful, dazzling, and exotic look.

These adornments are made in all shapes and sizes to suit all types of faces. There are dangling ones, hoops, studs, buttons, droplets, chandelier earrings and many others. There are earrings to go with evening wear, for business meetings, office and more elaborate ones for weddings and other functions etc.

It would be interesting to note that in the days of Christ, it was said that wearing an earring was a demonic act. In India, in the earlier days, the Yogis practiced splitting their ears and placing large heavy earrings made of horn or glass at the time of their initiation into the sect. All that sounds crude with the advancement of technology and ear piercing is no longer such a tortuous procedure and is almost nothing more than pinprick now.

People from most cultures believe in wearing earrings at a very early age. In many cultures, ears are pierced as soon as the baby is born. This jewelry have never been the prerogative of women alone, as men wore them in years of yore and now wear them as a fashion statement. They have become a unisex piece of jewelry. Today the trend of wearing multiple earrings at the same time is prevalent.

The popularity of earrings has stood the test of time. They can enhance ones mood just my making a person feel confident and great.
