About this section: These guides explain more about piercings in general and go into detail about how they heal and how certain things affect your body. They also deal with common piercing problems and advise ways of solving them as well as giving detailed information on piercing processes such as stretching. The purpose of these guides is to inform people more about the 'science' behind their piercings - how things work and why. They aim to dispel myths and correct misinformation while not assuming any prior knowledge.

If you would like more information about piercings in general try visiting the Association of Professional Piercer's website. While they are a Canadian based organisation and, while there is currently no one in the UK registered with them, they do set clear and widely approved standards for piercing and their website provides a lot of useful and interesting information as well as links to talks, conventions and seminar's which are often open to the general public to attend.
