That's a really bad generalization, that people with no piercings are clean. I know a bunch of people with tons of piercings that are 10x more clean than some people I know with none. And the infection was her fault, she didn't take care of it properly so she got an infection. That's what happens.
Ok thank you... never heard about these sizes before =P Anyway mine are small, I feel pain more than other people I think
I feel quite insulted by 1337. Just because I have piercings does not make me unclean. I quite agree with lolcool.
Doesn't 'clean' mean also genuine (non-altered)? I thought that 1337 meant this. Anyway is important to heal piercings and tattoos, 'cause infections are really common... piercings and tattoos' ink are foreign bodies.
That, as well as tattoos are like a giant cut on your body and a piercing is a hole and both will let all kinds of germs into your system so if you have an infection, its important you consult your doctor because even if it's just the area, you can still get really sick and die if you don't take care of it.
my mom has one on her ankle and my dad has several... if i get one...it will be a phoenix on my upper arm
Not exaggerate... precept for a good piercing is only to disinfect it with peroxide everyday, until the scar is closed and become a natural part of your body. (it can take months) When you see an infection, like pus, blister or irritated tissue, you have to remove the piercing and disinfect it, then apply an antibiotic cream for some days. One of the most important things is to use only piercing that your body tolerates. Best are gold piercings... or if you want a silver or steel one, you have to be sure that you aren't allergic to it. Very few people died for a piercing... but it wasn't for their bad care of it; it was for the bad igienic conditions where they did the piercing or because they were allergic and didn't know it. You have to check your piercings everyday... 'cause it's more simple to heal an infection when it's at its beginning. Anyway it's rare to have an infection when you have piercings since years. For the tattos dunno... don't have any and don't know people that have them :/
You can die/get sick if you don't take care of an infection, whether its from a piercing/tattoo or something else. Dying from it doesn't happen often but if you don't even clean the area infected.. then yes you can get sick and yes you can die and no, it doesn't happen often.
The reason why gold piercings are the best is due to the reactivity of the metal. Gold is a highly nonreactive metal thus it can remain in its elemental state. Being nonreactive, they would not react and cause much irritations to your body. :yup:
Gold piercings can still cause problems. People can have allergies against any type of metal, gold included. If people look after and take care of piercings/tattoos then there won't be any problems.
