Love for Body Jewelry

The gun or the needle? This is a question that has long ignited quite a debate in the world of piercing. Both have their good sides and bad. And here we tackle some things you need to know to help you decide which method to go for once you get your body pierced.

PIERCING GUNS

For many years popular mall chains have been widely known for becoming home to establishments that use the piercing gun method because it doesn't take a professional with extensive training to be able to do the deed and it's cheaper for business. As promotion, some kiosks offer free gun piercing with a simple purchase of jewelry which goes for as low as $10-20. In other stores you can even get your own gun to make your piercings at home. Plus, the method is pretty quick--a single shot is so nippy that it's all over even before you begin to contemplate what's happening.

However, using a gun has its sterilization issues. They come into contact with bodily fluid and a simple swipe of an alcohol swab in-between uses is not enough to sterilize the instrument. The gun can also cause major tissue trauma. It holds blunt studs, and when these studs are forced through the tissues, it literally rips the tissue in order to make room for the jewelry. Furthermore, the piercing gun is inaccurate, so if the person using the gun doesn't position it just right, the stud can go through at an awkward angle, which may cause your body to reject the jewelry.

PIERCING NEEDLES

Unlike with the guns, finding someone who can do the needle method for you can be an inconvenience as they are usually found in reputable tattoo shops or specialized stores. The needle method is also more expensive, not to mention the fact that you also have to add a tip for the professional piercer's work.

Yet, you will realize that the inconvenience and price of having the needle method done on you are worth it. First, you'll be safe from infections. Piercing equipment can be properly sterilized in an autoclave that uses high pressured steam to thoroughly sterilize anything that may come into contact with a customer. The needles are also used only once, so you don't have risk of someone else's body fluids on your needle. Second, you'll be in good hands. Professional body piercers undergo extensive training that studies proper piercing techniques, infection control and healing practices. Third, contrary to popular belief, there is less pain when piercing needles are used. The needle is hollow and extremely sharp so that it easily slices through the skin, which pushes the tissues aside to make room for the jewelry.

So now, the big question is, would you use the gun or the needle? No matter what your decision is, just be sure that it will do you more good than the other way around!

You have your piercings, and you wear it loud and proud. But in the split second that people see you, they already make an instant judgment. Still, never forget that your differences do not make you less of a person than anyone else.

And here's also hoping that the society today will soon learn how to respect people with body modifications and NEVER say the following things ever again.

"You must be a troublemaker."

Since when has someone's look become a reflection of his or her personality? Why is anyone with a body modification automatically boxed as bad? Anyone can be normal with or without piercings. In the same way, anyone can be a troublemaker, with or without piercings.

"Did it hurt?"

It's a question made out of curiosity. It will always have a different answer, of course, because pain tolerances are never the same. Then again--a needle ripped through a portion of the flesh, leaving a piece of metal in its place. So, duh! It's really a question with an obvious answer, if you think about it.

"Don't you want to get a decent job?"

Actually, just like any other human being, people who have piercings do have decent jobs. Having piercings does not mean a complete refusal to earn a living and isolation from the society. It simply means it's nice to have a piercing, just like it's nice to wear a dress, and that is that.

"You'd look so much better without all that."

Just what are the qualifications of looking "better"? Shaved facial hair, sleek tresses, designer shoes? News flash is that not everyone in this world wants that kind of look. And more importantly, no one has the right to suggest what looks good in someone, and what doesn't. You don't hear people with piercings say that anyone wearing a suit and tie would look so much better without it, do you?

"You're going to regret that someday."

Getting piercings is a conscious decision. It's a chance to courageously express individuality, and not sticking to the standards of beauty that the world has put up with. Why would anyone regret something like that?

We are listing some piercing trends that are currently rocking 2017, and WildKlass Jewelry is here to make sure that your look is always up to date.

GLAM AND ADVENTUROUS: MULTI-EAR PIERCING

This is the new status symbol for making a statement. Many Hollywood celebrities are often spotted rocking multiple studs on their ears, whether on the red carpet or off duty. It opens up a radical new set

of choices-can't decide on which earring to wear today? Why not just wear them all? From CartilageEarrings to Danglings, WildKlass has an assortment of jewelry that can definitely make you stand out.

AN ELEMENT OF SURPRISE: SMILEY PIERCING 

This type of piercing goes through the small thin tissue that connects your upper lip to the middle of your gums. One of the main reasons for its popularity is that it can be easily hidden. And then it gives an element of surprise when you smile, as it peeks over your front teeth. WildKlass has small gauge jewelries that are perfect for this kind, like Captive Bead Rings or Horseshoe.

BADASS AND BEAUTIFUL: SEPTUM PIERCING 

This is the piercing of the skin tissue located underneath the cartilage which separates the nostril. It is a unique accessory that can add a little edge to your overall look. You can go big, small, outrageous or classic with it. It's both badass and beautiful, truly a mark of eccentricity. WildKlass has a range of jewelry perfect for this piercing: Retainers, Circular Barbells, and the top-selling Septum Clickers.

THE CLASSIC EDGY: LIP PIERCING

This involves penetrating the lips or the area surrounding the lips. This type has been around for a long time, but this year, it gets an update that makes a classic piercing that much edgier. For instance, supermodel Cara Delevingne has been spotted sporting hoops that go around the mid-lip. You can try this one too, with WildKlass jewerlies like Surgical Steel Loops.
