1. Do your research. Find out what piercing you want and what it looks like. Find out its pros and cons.

3. Find out the health hazards that come along with the piercing. Find out the risks of developing infections.
4. Be informed about the healing time. Some piercings take up to a year to heal. It’s important to be informed and prepared to give your piercing the time it needs to heal. Find out about the aftercare process and how much care it will need to heal.

7. Accept the fact that the piercing may not turn out how you imagined. It may not look like the picture you saw when you decided to get it. It may not be as attractive. Also, remember that the initial jewellery that you wear after getting the piercing may not be as great. You may need to keep it low key till it heals.
