The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has taken an official position against most piercings unless for medical reasons, although they accept piercings for women as long as there is only one set of piercings in the lower lobe of the ears and no other place on the body. Wearing of very large nose rings on "Shabbat" is forbidden by the Talmud. Officially titled "Most Pierced Woman", Elaine Davidson of Brazil holds the Guinness

However the spread of this fashion has resulted in both men and women having nostril piercings in the wider world. Several different types of nostril rings are found. Among the most popular are the loop, the stud with an L-bar closure, the stud with a ball closure, and the stud with a flat backing. In India the outside of the left part of the body is the preferred position of the piercing. This is followed by some orthodox

Healing and aftercare for corset piercings is identical to healing for any surface piercings, although the healing process can be extended and complicated due to the number of piercings healing at the same time, which puts greater stress on the body. The location of most corset piercings, on the individual's back, can make caring for the healing piercings more difficult as well.

Most women claim an increase in sensitivity and arousal after having their nipples pierced. As a result of a surge of information exposing the sexual enhancement aspect of a pierced nipple, there has been a reported increase of men and women requesting this procedure. A common question among women who consider nipple piercings is how it may affect breastfeeding. There is no evidence to suggest that proper nipple piercings can cause any complications

To date, the most successful attempts at permanent corset piercings have been performed with surface bars, although some success has been reported using Teflon or Tygon tubing, both of which are flexible and move with the body. There have also been experiments in healing corset piercings as transdermal implants. Due to the tremendous potential for the healing piercings to be irritated by normal daily life, corset piercings, even healed ones, require constant vigilance by the wearer to

The piercings are made using a hollow, hypodermic needle, typically around 14g or slightly larger. Most piercers agree that 16g should be the lowest limit for a healthy piercing. Once the hole has been made, straight or curved barbells are most often used during healing, although larger diameter CBRs (captive bead ring) are used as well. Many recipients report a significant amount of pain and soreness with these piercings, especially the inner conch . Since stretching is difficult with cartilage, those wishing

Ear piercings are the most commonly stretched piercings, with nasal septum piercings, tongue piercings and lip piercings/lip plates following close behind. While all piercings can be stretched to some degree, cartilage piercings are usually more difficult to stretch and more likely to form hypertrophic scars if stretched quickly. Dermal punching is generally the preferred method for accommodating larger jewelry in cartilage piercings. Stretching is usually done in small increments to minimize the potential

Stretching of labia minora piercings occurs on its own in most cases due to the relatively high elasticity of the tissue, whereas labia majora piercings are much less likely to do so. Almost any type of jewellery can be found in labia minora piercings, although rings are the most commonly used jewelry, both as initial jewelry, and on a long-term basis. Both types of labia piercings can be stretched to accommodate

Antitragus piercing An antitragus piercing is a perforation of the outer ear cartilage for the purpose of inserting and wearing a piece of jewelry. It is placed in the antitragus, a piece of cartilage opposite the ear canal. Overall, the piercing has characteristics similar to the tragus piercing; the piercings are performed and cared for in much the same way.

A razor-sharp, circular blade protrudes and removes a clean disk of cartilage from the desired area. This procedure is far more common with outer conch piercings due to the area's flatness versus the much more concave shape of the inner conch in most individuals. Several clients describe the pain as comparable to a standard cartilage piercings, with others attesting that it actually hurts less. Conch piercings are cared for just like other piercings in the ear

More appropriate is titanium, which, due to lack of nickel, is less prone to irritation of surrounding skin. For most surface nape piercings, a quality piercing is done in two steps with different bars, one with long rises (used at time of piercing) to allow for initial swelling, and the second bar (shorter rises with balls a few mm from skin) to be inserted months later once most (if not all) healing has taken place.

They usually pass between or through the two corpora cavernosa and through the corpus spongiosum, often causing a fair amount of bleeding. Deep shaft piercing Deep shaft piercings are piercings which pass through the penile shaft. They are most commonly seen in the form of deeply placed ampallangs, apadravyas, and reverse shaft Prince Alberts. They are more rare piercings due to associated pain, difficulty, bleeding and long healing times. Common placement is directly behind the head

Then the catheter is removed and the needle pushed up to the top of the glans. Because it passes through the most sensitive part of the penis, the procedure is among the most painful of male genital piercings. Apadravya is one of the functional genital piercings; it enhances sexual pleasure. In homosexual anal sex, compared to the more common Prince Albert (and its counterpart Reverse Prince Albert piercing), apadravya has the advantage of stimulating

Numerous urban legends and popular culture myths associate nape piercings with a potential for spinal or nerve damage, due to their location. Nape piercings do not interact with nerve tissue more or less than any other surface piercing, and there is no risk of nerve damage associated with nape piercings. Nape piercings can be problematic for those who wear long hair, scarves, or necklaces. Care must be taken to ensure that hair, jewelry, and clothing is not caught on the exposed jewelry to avoid tearing the piercing or exacerbating issues of rejection, both of

Somewhat less common are surface anchors, commonly made from surgical implant-grade titanium.

Surface anchor nape piercings are most commonly found placed symmetrically on either side of the spine at the nape. Nape piercings, like most surface

neg: Piercing migration piercings, such as a navel piercing, Christina piercing, eyebrow piercing, or a nape piercing, tend to have a higher rejection rate than piercings that pass through a deeper area of flesh or have holes on the opposite side of each other. Thus surface piercings stand in contrast to piercings such as tongue piercing, earrings, or nose piercings. Piercing migration Piercing migration is the process that occurs when a body piercing moves from its initial location. This process can be painful or go unnoticed, until it has progressed. Given enough time, a ring may migrate entirely outside of the skin, although

When getting the procedure done by a professional and following his or her instructions, along with proper hygiene and good health, these piercings should heal without incident. Migration and rejection are almost non-existent due to the depth at which both of these piercings are placed. Infection is the most serious concern to the client because of the multiple layers of cartilage being pierced. If not cared for properly, an infection can actually form between these layers of cartilage. As the infection lingers, it will begin eating away at the

While the tongue remains a popular site to pierce in the Western world, it has declined in popularity since 2011, going from the second to the fourth most popular body piercing for both men and women in Britain as of March 2015.

This design minimizes the pressure that would be caused by other jewelry designs that contribute to rejection in healing surface piercings. Most surface bars are custom made to fit the individual piercing. Beads for barbells can vary widely in design and appearance, although the vast majority of beads are simply spherical in design. That being said, any shape that threads can be tapped into can be used

Rarely worn for more than a week, corset piercings are typically worn only for a few hours or until the event or activity they were required for has ended. Temporary corset piercings are open wounds, and are subject to the same infection, cross contamination, and irritation risks as any other healing piercing or small wound. Scarring from the removal of temporary piercings is usually minimal or non-existent. It is possible for the multiple surface wounds that constitute a corset piercing to heal; however, they are unlikely to heal properly. Permanent corset piercings would consist

Since clitoral piercing is difficult and very painful, piercing of the clitoral hood is more common than piercing the clitoral shaft, owing to the small percentage of people who are anatomically suited for it. Clitoral hood piercings are usually channeled in the form of vertical piercings, and, to a lesser extent, horizontal piercings. The triangle piercing is a very deep horizontal hood piercing, and is done behind the clitoris as opposed to in front of it. For styles such

The dydoe pierces through the coronal rim of the glans. With the exception of the dydoe, all these piercings traditionally pass through the urethra. This is preferred because healing time and incidence of infection are reduced by the flow of sterile urine. These piercings provide increased stimulation during intercourse to the male (who is carrying the piercing) as well as to the partner. Piercings through

Straight or curved barbells are most common with some people choosing large CBRs as well. Typically should be 5/16 in long. For larger gauge conch piercings, such as those achieved through a dermal punch, eyelets, plugs, and flesh tunnels can all be worn. As the inner conch is designed to help capture sound and funnel it into the ear canal, a hole in this area can lead to slight differences in hearing. The change is minimal and probably goes undetected by most people.

They are more common in some sites, such as the central chest (from a sternotomy), the back and shoulders (usually resulting from acne), and the ear lobes (from ear piercings). They can also occur on body piercings. The most common spots are earlobes, arms, pelvic region, and over the collar bone. Most skin injury types can contribute to scarring. This includes burns, acne scars, chickenpox scars, ear piercing, scratches, surgical incisions, and vaccination sites.

Just like nipple piercings, genital piercings became increasingly more popular and part of mainstream culture in the second decade of the 21st century, with ″nice and normal″ people endorsing them.

British punk fans, after seeing the clothing worn by such punk forerunners, then incorporated safety pins into their own wardrobe as clothing decoration or as piercings, shifting the purpose of the pins from practicality to fashion. The safety pin subsequently has become an image associated with punk rock by media and popular culture outlets. Safety

There is a large variety of jewelry available for stretched piercings. Many jewelry materials can be used in the manufacturing of jewelry for stretched piercings; materials that would ordinarily be too delicate or brittle to be inserted in smaller-gauge piercings are freely used.

As soon as you notice or think you notice rejection happening go to a professional body piercer or general practitioner immediately.

Rejection is affected by placement, blood flow, irritation and abuse, as well as general health. The healthier a person is, the less likely problems may arise.

Many variables affect whether or not a stretched piercing will return to its original size, such as the length of time taken to stretch and the amount of time the piercing
