Nightmare of Body Piercings

   “Be aware the needle might do more than scare.”

Walking around seeing all these different clichés, you may see most wearing some piece of  body piercing. Anything from belly button, cartilage, nose and tongue piercings can be fashionable and popular amongst teens.  

    What unfortunately is not apparent is what piercings can do. In some predicaments you may experience a not so fashionable scar, or in more serious cases tetanus, hepatitis b and c, inflammation or nerve damage, or chronic infection.

  While anyone planning to donate blood, be aware that some organizations will not accept blood donations from anyone who has had  body piercings within the last year. This is because the  procedure of body piercing can transmit blood-borne diseases you may not realize were passed on to you at the time of the piercing.

   To prevent any complications with your piercing, be sure the piercing shop is safe and sanitary. If it does look clean and safe, always think through you decision twice to pierce. There is much more to a piercing, than being edgy or unique.

    Piercings are so wrong. First, they cause infections. Sometimes I see girlswhose shirts don’t go down all the way and I see their pierced belly buttons. It’s digusting. Someone should fix that.
