Too Old to Get a Piercing? Body Piercing Basics EP89
In the 89th episode in our YouTube series Body Piercing Basics, DaVo covers whether you are too old to get a new piercing.
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
Are there any concerns?
Your health can affect healing.
You might see a more extended healing period
You may have preexisting health conditions that may affect healing and the body’s blood clotting.
You may use a medication that could cause issues
Is this a mid-life crisis?
Should you take additional precautions?
If you have any preexisting health issues that affect the body’s ability to heal or blood clotting issues, discuss this with your doctor.
Also any medications
Check with your employer about any dress codes

I, also known as DaVo, have been a professional body piercer and the owner of Axiom Body Piercing Studio in Des Moines, Iowa, since 1994. My focus on education and helping clients make informed decisions about getting pierced has always been a significant part of my business practices and services.
