• Allergies to metal? Ask what is used
in advance.
• Athletes: “No jewelry rule” goes
for ALL piercings. Don’t get newly
pierced before the season begins.
• Be aware of signs of infection
(i.e., prolonged bleeding, pus, and
change in your skin color around
the pierced area).
Evaluating the piercing
specialist:
• Is the shop certified by the Associa-
tion of Professional Piercers?
• Does the piercer have a license?
Rules regarding licensing vary
from state to state and sometimes
city to city.

TIPS & TALES
“Belly button piercing is different
from getting a nose or lip done because
you can show it off when you feel it’s
appropriate. A minimal hole is left after
removing it. The downside: navel pierc-
ings look ridiculous once you’re over
twenty-five.”
