Hot !! Trend in Body Piercings [Hip Piercings]

Hip piercings are one of the latest trends in the art of body piercing. It is done in the pelvic area next to the hip bone. Here are some tips about getting a hip piercing.

Hip piercings are getting more and more popular. They are very modern piercings, recently these become very popular.

This type of piercing is a surface piercing placed in the pelvic area near the hip bone. Usually people like to get matching hip piercings on both sides, just because it looks better and more symmetric.

Hip piercings are usually performed using a newer procedure called 'punch and taper' or 'trans dermal implants' using a surface piercing.

This method reduces the trauma on the skin at the entry and exit way of the pierced area therefore leading to faster healing time and a smaller chance of piercing rejection.

The entry and exit area of the piercing is done with a dermal punch which is a cylindrical blade that removes tissue.

The whole procedure takes a few minutes from when the entry way is performed until the jewelery is placed in.

Like any other piercing there are certain risks of infection involved this is why proper care is needed.

When you decide to get a hip piercing make sure that is is performed by an experienced piercing artist. Do not perform this procedure at home because you might risk hurting yourself, scarring and infection.

Make sure your piercing is made of titanium or surgical steel just because they are considered to be the best.

Hip piercings look good and can be worn by both men and women. This is a very modern piercing so more and more people seem to get them, so if you are a body piercing lover this is a new piercing you can consider getting done.

Tips!

make sure the piercing artist explains everything about the procedure and risks involved

make sure that all the utensils he/she is using are sterile

ask for care instructions after the piercing is performed

- Hot !! Trend in Body Piercings [Hip Piercings]

feel body piercings are hot or not style ?

Do you feel body piercings are hot or not? I personally think it depends upon the person's gender, the actual piercing, and whether or not it works with their look and lifestyle.






For instance, I think lip piercings are much sexier on men than on women. I'm not certain why I feel this way, but always have. Further to the point, a cute boy with a lip ring isn't always a good thing -- it is a dramatic look to pull off and sometimes it's just not quite right on someone and takes over their face.




Do you feel similarly about piercings; does it depend on the person and what piercing it is? I only have my ears and belly button pierced, but in general think piercings are hot.

What about you? Do you have any piercings?

The Most Common Type of Ear Piercings

For many, an ear piercing is the gateway to other piercings. The ear piercing also happens to be one of the most common forms of body modification in the United States. While some many not take it as far, there are those who have actually pioneered new styles of ear piercings. Today, there are 10 common types of ear piercings.

Helix Piercings

The helix piercing is the second most common type of ear piercing. It is located on the upper cartilage of the ear. This type of piercing can be done with either a stud, a hoop or a cuff style of piercing. The healing time for this piercing is lengthy at 6 to 8 months and any early removal can lead to premature closure of the piercing.

Industrial Ear Piercings

The industrial ear piercing is quickly growing in popularity. It features a bar that goes through two holes in the upper cartilage of the ear. Unfortunately, this piercing takes an extremely long time to heal: up to twelve months. Any removal, poking or prodding can lead to serious infections.

Dermal Punches

The dermal punch is generally more popular with men than with women. This piercing actually punches out a piece of the ear from the piercing. They can be located on either the lobe or the cartilage in the flat area of the ear. They can be stretched to fit larger gauge piercings, but cartilage is more difficult to ‘stretch’ than a lobe dermal punch. Healing time varies based on the location of the piercing itself.

Rook Piercings

Rook piercings are known to be troublesome piercings and their position can vary from ear to ear due to high migration rates. They also have a frequently high rejection rate and most piercers will not pierce someone who does not have enough space for the piercing. These piercings are located on the area of the ear known as the anti-helix and are often referred to as anti-helix piercings. Their rate of healing varies by individual as well as spacing of the piercing.

Conch Piercings

There are two types of conch piercings for the ear: the inner and outer conch. The inner conch piercing is located toward the center of the ear cartilage and uses a hoop piercing sized to fit the ear. The outer conch piercing sits farther out on the ear, on the same center cartilage. These piercings heal within 8 to 10 weeks.

Tragus Piercings

The tragus piercing is located on the cartilage flap directly in front of ear canal. There is also a piercing known as the anti-tragus piercing which is located on the flap of cartilage above the ear lobe, but below the tragus piercing. These piercings are similar in care and can both be extremely painful. Most tragus and anti-tragus piercings heal within eighteen weeks.

Ear Lobe Piercings

The most common form of ear piercing is the lobe piercing. The lobe is the bottom-most tissue on the ear. Generally, these piercings heal within 4 to 6 weeks and are considered to be the least painful of all ear piercings.

Daith Piercings

The daith (pronounced day-th,) piercing is located on the cartilage on the innermost part of the ear, closest to the head by the ear canal. The word daith is a variation of the hebrew word, daath, which translates to ‘knowledge.’ These piercings take approximately 6 to 8 weeks to fully heal and jewelry can be switched out at this time.

Proper care of any piercing is extremely important to prevent infection and migration as well as premature closure. Piercings are a great way to show off a person’s individuality.
