Before your piercing appointment.
An important factor to consider is the current status
of your health when planning a piercing appointment.
The potential for infection and/or rejection of the
jewelry increases when the immune system is reduced
by illness, drugs, alcohol, lack of proper sleep.
Not all piercings suit all bodies. Our experienced
piercer will provide you with the necessary information
you need in order to choose the proper piercing.
Before your piercing appointment be sure to :
|
Get a good night's rest prior
to your appointment. Lack of sleep weakens the
immune system and hinders the healing process. |
|
Eat a well balanced meal in
order to maintain safe blood sugar level. Receiving
a piercing while on an empty stomach increases
the possibility of fainting. Allow 1-2 hours between
your meal and your appointment. The endorphine
response (the body's natural morphine) that often
follows a piercing can lead to vomiting when combined
with a full stomach. |
|
Do not use alcohol, drugs and
caffeine for 24 hours prior to and several hours
following your appointment. Caffeine and alcohol
increase the rate of bleeding and may cause dizziness
and vomiting. |
