Today, ear and nose piercings have become quite popular with youngsters. Piercings on the earlobes and other body piercings are also preferred. While it is no dearth of non-medical professionals who put up shops to offer piercing services, it is always better to reach out to a trained medical professional for many reasons.
An untrained and unprofessional piercer may overlook several crucial aspects of your skin safety and fail to disinfect the target area, before piercing it. Failure to observe precautions and safety while doing piercing can lead to any one of the following

• Keloids or skin scars
• Allergic reactions to certain metals
• Rupture of blood vessels
