So, you’re thinking of getting a body piercing, huh? Well, hold on to your hat because I’ve got some information for you that’ll blow your mind!
This Consent Form is Lit
If you’re over 18 and looking to get a piercing, you’ll need to sign this form that says you understand the risks involved. But don’t let that scare you! It’s all about being informed and making the best decision for you.
Minors Need Consent Too
If you’re under 18 and want a piercing, you’ll need your parent or legal guardian to sign the form. No exceptions! Sorry, kids.
Risks and Rewards
Okay, let’s talk about the good stuff. Piercings can be a great way to express yourself and show off your personal style. Plus, they can make you feel super cool and badass. But there are some risks to consider too. Infection, swelling, and scarring are all possibilities. And if you don’t take care of your piercing properly, it could get really nasty.
Aftercare
Speaking of taking care of your piercing, here are some tips to keep in mind after you get it done:
- Clean it regularly with saline solution
- Avoid touching it with dirty hands
- Avoid submerging it in water (yes, that means no swimming!)
- Don’t change the jewelry until it’s fully healed
Choosing Your Piercer
This is a biggie, folks. You absolutely need to choose a licensed and reputable piercer to do your piercing. Don’t just go to some sketchy guy on the street corner with a safety pin and a dream. Do your research and find someone who knows what they’re doing. Your body will thank you!
The Bottom Line
So, there you have it. Piercings can be rad as heck, but they’re not without risks. If you’re under 18, get that consent form signed. If you’re over 18, sign it yourself and be informed. And most importantly, take care of your piercing like it’s your favorite child. Good luck out there, pierced pals!
