As a body piercing shop, we take pride in offering our clients a safe and comfortable piercing experience. We use only the highest quality materials and employ experienced piercers who are trained in the latest techniques. One thing you won’t find at our shop, however, is numbing cream. Here’s why we don’t recommend using numbing cream for body piercing and why we don’t use them in our shop:
They Can Mask Painful Symptoms:
As mentioned in our previous article, numbing creams work by blocking pain signals from the nerves to the brain. While this may seem like a good thing, it can actually be dangerous. Pain is the body’s way of telling you that something is wrong. By masking the pain, you may not be able to tell if there are any complications or issues with the piercing.
They Can Interfere with the Healing Process :
Numbing creams can also interfere with the body’s natural healing process. Pain is a natural response to injury, and it helps to increase blood flow and promote healing. By blocking this response, numbing creams can slow down the healing process and even increase the risk of infection.
They Can Cause Allergic Reactions:
Numbing creams can contain a variety of different chemicals and ingredients that can cause allergic reactions. These reactions can range from mild irritation to severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis. It’s important to read the ingredients carefully and talk to your piercer about any allergies or sensitivities you may have.
We Believe in Transparency and Trust:
At our body piercing shop, we believe in transparency and trust. We want our clients to be fully informed about the piercing process and to trust that we are using safe and effective techniques. By not using numbing cream, we are able to ensure that our clients are fully aware of any discomfort associated with the piercing. We also believe that a feeling of slight pintch is a natural part of the piercing process and that it can actually be empowering for our clients.
We Use Better Alternatives:
Instead of using numbing creams, we use better alternatives to help reduce the pain of body piercing. For example, we use ice or cold compresses to help numb the area before the piercing. Additionally, we take extra care to use proper techniques and reduce the risk of complications.
In conclusion, while numbing creams may seem like a good solution to reduce the pain of body piercing, they can actually do more harm than good.
They can mask painful symptoms, interfere with the healing process, and even be dangerous.
At our body piercing shop, we believe in transparency, trust, and using better alternatives to ensure a safe and comfortable piercing experience for our clients.
