Make sure you're ready

Before you get a piercing, think carefully about it. If you're unsure about the piercing or worry that you might regret it, you may want to wait. Don't let other people pressure you into getting a piercing. And don't get a piercing if you've been drinking alcohol or using drugs.

If you're confident you want to get a piercing, talk to friends who have a similar piercing. Ask if they have suggestions or tips for you.
