While body piercings are not as permanent as tattoos, it's still smart to take your time when deciding what kind of piercing you want. You need to figure out where on your body you want to be pierced, not to mention the countless jewelry options for each type of piercing.
To make sure your piercing is done safely, ask these questions: Who does the piercings? Go to a piercing studio or store that has properly trained employees. Don't try to pierce yourself.
