Body modification Types & Aftercare Advice

Body modification (or body alteration) is the deliberate altering of the human body for aesthetic or non-medical purpose, such as sexual enhancement, a rite of passage, denoting affiliation, trust and loyalty, religious reasons, shock value, and self-expression. Body art is the modification of any part of the human body for spiritual, religious, artistic or aesthetic reasons.

There are many types of body modification such as:

Branding - the art of body branding - info and advice

Scarification - new way of body expression

Suspension - the new definition of exhibitionism

Body Implants - new type of body modification

Tongue splitting - teen trend and crazy look

Corset Piercing - most femine extreme look

Scrotal implants - another way to look different

Surface Piercing - A surface piercing is a piercing where the entrance and exit holes are pierced through the same flat area of skin.

Body modification aftercare:

Wash your hands prior to touching the piercing, leave it alone except when cleaning.

The first 3 days at least you should use an anti-biotic cream (with zinc) to make sure you protect against infection and hydrogen peroxide.

It is not necessary to rotate the jewelry while healing except possibly during cleaning.

Stay healthy. Get enough sleep and eat a nutritious diet. The healthier your lifestyle, the easier it will be for your piercing to heal.

Make sure your bedding is clean and changed regularly.

Wear clean, comfortable breathable clothing that protects your piercing while sleeping.

Showering is safer than taking a bath, because bathtubs tend to harbor bacteria. If you would like to take a bath, clean the tub well before each use.

The jewels you should use are very important. There are a lot of jewels in the buzz but the most recommended type of jewel is the titanium jewel.

Make sure that your piercer has enough experience.
