Show Notes:

Reasons for getting pierced when you are older:

  • More established in your career, socially and financially

  • More access to professionally trained piercers

  • You are more responsible and have a better understanding of how your body heals

  • Wisdom, you have gotten to the point where what others think doesn’t matter

  • You are going through a life-changing period.

  • Piercing has become more socially acceptable

  • You have just discovered Piercing

Is there any concerns:

  • Your health can affect healing

  • You might see a longer healing period

  • You may have preexisting health conditions that may affect healing and the body’s blood clotting
