The Piercing Bible contains information for everyone with an interest in the subject. It provides detailed, factual information for people who are contemplating getting pierced, those who already have piercings, and the people who interact with them.
Because piercing breaks the skin, it is essential that you have accurate information to help you make educated choices for effective healing and minimizing health risks. There IS a lot of information on the web, but it is often contradictory, and sometimes downright wrong. Inaccurate information can be dangerous to your health.
The bulk of the book is practical advice for piercees and potential piercees. It includes detailed information on each specific piercing based on my extensive professional experience as of one of the most prominent body piercers in the industry. The book covers such topics as:
*How to find, evaluate, and select a qualified piercer
*Risk and dangers vs. myths and rumors--and how to minimize the real risks
*All about body jewelry--sizes, styles, materials, and quality
*How to clean and care for piercings, with alternative care options
*What to do if problems develop
I also offer helpful tips on living with piercings, including dealing with pregnancy and breastfeeding, concealing piercings, stretching and maintaining piercings, and sex and piercings, and much more.
Comprehensive:
Over 300 pages with many illustrations and photos
Authoritative:
I have performed over 40,000 piercings since the 1980s
Unique:
There is no other in-depth reference book exclusively about body piercing
