Dr. William Mallon, director of the emergency residency program at
Los Angeles County/University of Southern California Hospital, says
his doctors see an adverse reaction to piercing at least once a week.
These include allergic reactions to the metals used and infections,
especially in hairy areas. Oozing pus from bellybutton piercings is
quite common. Infections also occur due to bacteria in the saliva of
partners licking or biting a piercing that is healing. "People who
pierce nipples or genitalia can be anxious to have their partner
start sucking or biting it without waiting for the skin to heal as
the piercers will recommend. What happens with these patients is that
they will come into the ER with an infection in these areas and we
give them an antibiotic to usually the streptococcus or
staphylococcus bacteria [on skin.] But the antibiotics won't help
because they needed an antibiotic that could fight the [gram
negative] bacteria found in the mouth." At that point, they usually
need to be hospitalized. An 18-year-old woman who came to the
emergency room at LDS Hospital 15 months ago died from overwhelming
infection caused by bacteria in a tongue piercing in her own mouth.
In another LDS case, a 19-year-old man who had had his penis pierced
suffered from his body art when he was in a car accident. The stud
extended through the tip of the penis and crossed over his urethra,
the tube that allows urine to pass from the body. The trauma of the
accident dislodged the stud and now the young man occasionally has to
go to the hospital for assistance with a catheter to urinate. John
Marx, chairman of the department of emergency medicine at the
Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, N.C., says the most dramatic
piercing problem he has seen is ripped skin from the jewelry either
catching on clothing or from a lover pulling off a nipple ring in a
fight.

Well pleasure is associated with pain.
Those poeple who get shit pierced and dont look after it, are crusty scrubbers. If they arent prepared to take care of their body while its in such a fragile state (ie: after being PIERCED!!!!), then they deserve to have consequences. Every piercer will tell you everything you need to know about your desired piercing BEFORE you get it done. Where I get mine done, I eve have to sign a legal document stating I know the risks of getting what I'm getting pierced, I agree I have been warned about what may happen, and I choose to do so in my right mind. And I'm over 18 years old (sometimes I wasnt but ssshhhh) 
I always took good care of my piercings and never have I had something go bad.
Heaven bent to take my hand, and lead me through the fire.
Be the long awaited answer, to a long and painful fight. |
