108009
you mean nursing a baby right? it has no affect, the only thing is to take out the ring before you feed and always make sure that you clean before and after you feed and then clean the ring before you stick it back in.

Like any piercing, it can be dangerous if the place you get it done at is not sterile. Some complications besides infection from an insterile needle include: \n\n1. Chipped or Broken Front Teeth \nThe majority of patients we see with tongue barbells wind up with chips, cracks or fractures in their front teeth. These have to be repaired with fillings or crowns.\n\n\n2. Gum Surgery \n\nWe've had to refer patients to periodontists for surgical correction of damage caused by rubbing tongue barbells.\n\n3. It can go down the wrong way. \nThe barbell can come un-screwed and wind up in a lung.\n\n\nApparently there are cases of people DYING (http://www.drhendry.ca/InfoAndLinks/TonguePiercing/Piercing.html) <---shows some pretty gross pictures, beware. \n\nAnyways, I would imagine most of these are extreme cases. In my opinion, it isn't really worth the risk! Your heath is most important!

I'm sure your breasts & nipples are beautiful without adding jewellery to them. What is your motivation? I would be very wary about a nipple piercing because breastfeeding is far more important.

Well I would think that if the thought makes you queasy that would be enough to make your decision for you. It's really not that bad. I have a high threshold for pain as well.\n\nFirst they of course sterilize the jewelry and clean that area. Then they place marker dots on the exact spot where the curved hollow needle will go though. A clamp is attached to your nipple to hold it still. The actual piercing part goes very quickly. \n\nYou may bleed a little bit through out the first day and you nipple will be very tender for about the first week. After that It shouldn't bother you, unless of course someone or something accidentally bumps it. That always happens at least once but it only hurts for a few minutes.\n\nJust follow the piercer's care instructions and you shouldn't have any difficulties keeping it clean and healthy. Also it helps to carry a small kit with q-pits, neosporin, and anti-bacterial soap. You need to turn your jewelry through the piercing several times through out the day. Make sure that you clean off any debris before you do that.\n\nGood luck. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. I've had mine for five and a half years.

goto a professional piercer that uses NEEDLES!   piercing guns are NOT a good thing. they rip through and tear the flesh.  Google it for a ton more info on how bad piercing guns are for you like the ones they use in the mall and such.

If I understand your question correctly, I would say the following psychosocial family issues would affect nursing care:\n\n1. Child/Spouse abuse\n2. Pregnancy in an underage, unemancipated teen\n3. Eating disorder in an underage, unemancipated teen\n4. Alzheimer's disease or senile dementia\n5. Any chronic psychological condition, i.e., schizophrenia, etc.\n6. Any terminal illness

Pain is a staight of mind. And naturally, this is defined by the individual. Thus for one getting their nose peirced may be  practically painless, while for another excrusiating. Honestly when it comes to piercing, the most painful part is the half second during the actual moment you are pierced after that your body immediatly releases chemicals that dull the pain making it fill more like a throbbing or hot sensation. This is our bodies way of dealing with sudden trauma.

15 Piercing Myths Exposed\n\nby Amy Redd\n\nThe idea of paying someone to shove metal through your flesh might not rank very high on your To-Do list. However, it might jump up a few notches if you were able to separate the truth about the art of body piercing from certain myths floating around. While body piercing may not be for everyone, flawed preconceptions only heighten the reluctance of potential candidates to delve into this somewhat taboo area.\n\nEven the pierced population can become confused by the fallacies running rampant through society. Misinformation leads to health hazards if a new piercing is improperly cared for. Whether you are in the market for a body piercing or not - don't believe everything you hear. \n\nThe Association of Professional Piercers - an international, non-profit group - dispenses health and safety information about body piercing. APP-certified professional piercer Randy Smyre at Pain & Wonder Tattoos and Body Piercing helps to dispel these hindering myths:\n\nPiercings can cause paralysis. This is not an effect of the actual piercing procedure. If an infection is allowed to set in, and nothing is done about it, paralysis is only a possibility, Smyre says. He has never heard of it being a direct instantaneous result of a piercing. If piercings are properly cared for, it should not be a factor.\n\nIt is virtually impossible to blow your nose if you have a nose piercing. Rest assured that someone with a nose piercing is just as capable of blowing his or her nose as someone without this piercing. Unless the jewelry in the nose is extremely large and obstructive, Smyre says it does not affect the ability to blow your nose whenever the need should arise. Tara Newsome, a sophomore Linguistics and Spanish major from Augusta, has a total of 11 body piercings, including one in her nostril. She says the jewelry hasn't interfered with blowing her nose, and it merely took a little time to grow accustomed to. "Everybody asked me, 'How do you stand that?'" she says. "You just get used to it."\n\nDrinking beer with a new oral piercing will cause a yeast infection to form in your mouth. This is false, but don't celebrate just yet. Drinking alcoholic beverages of any kind while a piercing heals, especially an oral piercing, is not recommended by the APP. It will destroy the newly formed skin tissue and cause unnecessary swelling, Smyre says. "The healthier your lifestyle, the easier it will be for your piercing to heal," according to the APP Web site (www.safepiercing.org).\n\nWell at least there's nothing wrong with drinking a little alcohol before getting pierced. Wrong again. Aside from the excess bleeding and swelling alcohol would cause, Smyre says this also brings up an issue of poor judgment. "Drunk people are impossible to deal with," he adds. Those with alcohol in their system won't get pierced at Pain & Wonder.\n\nIf a certain vein in the tongue is accidentally pierced, you could bleed to death. There is surprisingly some amount of truth to this, though it is not nearly as alarming as it first appears. There is an arterial structure that, if pierced, can cause excessive bleeding (not necessarily death). It might not even be noticeable at first because the blood drains down the tongue, Smyre says. You would probably get sick and seek medical attention before you would even realize what actually happened. Technically this is a possibility, but it is extremely unlikely when dealing with a trained professional. Smyre says the tongue is not a very complex organ. To avoid such a situation, the piercer must simply pull back the tongue and check the location of this arterial structure before proceeding with the piercing.\n\nCleaning a piercing as many times a day as possible will ensure a faster healing time. While this might seem like common sense, over-cleaning is not better for a piercing. Piercings should be cleaned about twice daily an

You can get a lot of different infections if you don't take care of your tongue right, after you get it pierced.

I have several things pierced. They include my left nipple, left ear (normal), left eyebrow, labret, and navel. I got all these many years ago though, so I hardly wear pieces in them now.

I have has mine done twice, because it got infected. The clamps do hurt when they are prepping you for the piercing. The piercing did not for me. The healing can also be painful. Keep it clean if you get it, and use a mixture of 1/2 mouthwash, 1/2 water to rinse after you eat, drink or smoke if you do. Also if you have any metal allergies, like to nickel, I reccommend that you do NOT get pierced. It is a bigger pain then it is worth. Literally. Also get silver or gold jewelry or plastic if you do have metal allergies. Don't go cheap because it will get infected and infections in your head are very serious. Now for the 2nd part of your question, should you get it done? That is a very personal question, it will affect how people look at you and what types of jobs you can get. Hope that helps.

What about inverted nipples? Many girls have them, they are common. There's no surgery to really make them poke out, though getting them pierced does. Nipple pieircings take a long time to heal and are frequently rejected so sometimes it's not the best option. Breastfeeding can also bring them out but you don't want to get pregnant just for "outtie" nipples do you?

Eyebrow piercings are the least painful piercing after earlobes.\n\nAs for infection, as long as you get pierced by a qualified body piercer in a reputable shop and closely follow the instructions they give you, there really isn't much to worry about.  \n  Do keep in mind that the number one reason people wind up with infected piercings is from touching their healing piercing without washing their hands first.  Only touch it when you are cleaning it and make sure you thoroughly wash your hands first.

I have inverted nipples...they do come out....they are sensitive thats for sure....sometimes a simple touch will turn you on but a touch too hard will hurt. They are actually more sensitive I believe thats why it's hard to breastfeed when you have inserted nipples.

DO NOT LET YOUR CHILD BE PIERCED IN A SHOPPING CENTRE OR HAIRDRESSERS!!!\n\nThey often have very little training, no idea of sterility, and use piercing guns, which are VERY dangerous and cannot be 100% totally sterile.\n\nI personally do not think it right to let a child have its ears pierced until it can make the decision for itself as to whether it wants them or not. You wouldn't let an baby get a tattoo - why a piercing?\n\nIf you absolutely have to pierce your baby's ears - take it to an expert at a piercing parlour who can do it with needles which are much more sterile and give a 'cleaner' piercing than piercing guns which essentially crush your child's earlobe until it splits.

Yes, taking a piss becomes an issue! The piercing passes through the pee-hole and out below the glans, the result is that not only can pee escape through the new hole (particularly later when everything is healed up and the piercing is loose-fitting) but it can also affect the direction of flow through the normal route....affecting your once un-erring accuracy! This does not have to be a serious problem....just like anything, you will become familiar with the new dynamics and adjust as necessary. Still, it could be a bit of a misery when you have had a few too may to drink and dont pay as much attention as you should! The other thing that I am not sure you have considered is that it is not just pee that exits that way...! Either way, dont stress, give it a try....and if you dont like it you can just take it out and let things heal up.
