reputable body piercer will insist that you be 18yrs. For most
body Piercings, But, 16 is acceptable for some of the minor ones,
only with a parent or guardian present. i.e. Nose, Ear Lobe, Navel.

What
may prolong the healing process?

are many reasons for a piercing to take longer to heal than the

and lack of personal Hygiene. All people are different and therefore
take longer to heal even in good health.
Does
it hurt?

perform them. Some Piercings obviously hurt more than others,
but only for a short time.
Will
it hurt afterwards?
All
Piercings will have some tenderness afterwards but usually this
is only for a few days.
Will
it bleed?

bleeding is minimal if any at all. Most piercings performed correctly
and with the right size needle will not bleed. There is always
an exception to the rules. Most male genital piercings in the
gland will bleed a little, this is normal.
How
long will my piercing take to do?
The
majority of piercings will only take 10 - 15 min. to do, but, more
difficult ones can take a little longer.

make you worse. Congratulate yourself afterwards.
