The chest piercing process involves cleaning the area, marking the piercing points, using a sterile needle to create the holes, and inserting jewelry. Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Steps in a Chest Piercing:
-
Preparation: The piercer will thoroughly clean the skin on your chest where you want the piercing. This helps prevent infection.
-
Marking: They will mark the exact entry and exit points for the piercing using a surgical marker. You'll confirm the placement before proceeding.
-
Piercing: Using a sterile, hollow needle, the piercer will quickly and smoothly push the needle through the marked entry point and out the exit point. This creates the channel for the jewelry.
-
Jewelry Insertion: Immediately after creating the hole, the piercer will insert the chosen jewelry (usually a barbell) into the piercing.
-
Aftercare: The piercer will provide detailed instructions on how to care for your new piercing to promote healing and prevent infection. This usually involves regular cleaning with a saline solution.
