Mantra Tattoo & Body Piercing professionals give you some good advice for a successful body piercing experience.

Selecting a Piercing Artist

Criteria to select a piercer should be the cleanliness of the shop, their knowledge, and previous work. Then, talk with the person who will be piercing you about the risks associated with the procedure, healing time, and any potential complications.

The Night Before

Basically, you may want your body to be fully prepared for your new body art. This means that it is highly recommended to get hydrated and sleep well. Most importantly, do not ingest alcoholic drinks the night before as it can make your blood thinner and nutrient deficient, which makes the piercing take longer to heal.

Set an Appointment with an Expert Body Piercer

Usually, a reputable body piercing shop requires appointments, in that way both you and the piercer will know exactly what time to be at the location and you are guaranteed to get the piercer you want.

The Day of Getting Pierced

Don’t forget to bring an acceptable form of identification that includes a photo and your date of birth. An ID card or a state-issued driver’s license is the most common forms of identification accepted by reputable body piercing shops.
