The type of jewelry inserted will depend on the body part. For example, a short barbell in the tongue will lead to problems when the tongue starts to swell. The type of jewelry used must accommodate the swelling that follows the piercing procedure. Piercers recommend non-toxic metals such as surgical steel, 14K gold, niobium, or titanium to avoid infections and allergic reactions. |
Immediate disposal of used needles into a sharps container is standard procedure. |
