The Piercing Bible is a 370-page reference book that contains a wealth of information for everyone with an interest in the topic. It provides a truly comprehensive view of the subject with concrete facts for people who are contemplating getting pierced, those who already have piercings, and the people who interact with them. There's plenty of tips for apprentices and piercers, too.

See below to learn more about what's inside. This complete overhaul includes essential medical and technical updates, as well as refreshed illustrations, diagrams, and jewelry photography, to reflect today's standards and best practices for safe, professional piercing. It is new, improved, and entirely modernized.

Because piercing breaks the skin, it is essential that you are accurately informed to help you make educated choices for effective healing and minimizing health risks. There IS a lot written about piercing 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. There's also a chapter on A Career in Professional Piercing. Anyone interested in becoming a piercer should definitely read The Piercing Bible! Medical professionals will find lots of practical information for dealing with pierced patients, whether treating complications or dealing with unrelated issues. There's some historical information about piercing as practiced in various cultures around the globe, too.
