What Is a
Nail Piercing?
A nail
piercing is a piercing that is done to the nail. These types of piercings are
unique in that they do not involve any pain. After a piercing is completed, a
piece of jewelry can be inserted through the resulting hole for decoration. A
nail piercing is best done on artificial nails and can contribute to a person's
image. Anyone interested in a nail piercing should avoid performing the
piercing himself or herself and should consult a professional piercer.
Nail
piercings can, hypothetically, be placed on any nail. Some nails, however, are
more hospitable to jewelry than others. The nails on the little finger and the
ring finger can provide a good place for a nail piercing, because these fingers
are usually used less than the others, and less use of the pierced nail
minimizes the potential for damage. Piercing a nail on either of these fingers
can look more feminine than the alternatives, if that look is desired.
Piercings
are better suited to be performed on artificial nails. This is because natural
nails are likely to be weaker than their artificial counterparts. Those who
have decided to pierce their natural nails can take steps to fortify their
nails and make them more accommodating to a piercing. Consuming nail-building
vitamins and minerals, such as calcium, and applying nail-strengthening liquids
to nails can help strengthen a nail for piercing.
Unlike
standard nail art that can be fixed or glued onto the surface of the nail, nail
jewelry is hooked onto the nail through a pierced opening. After it is looped
through the nail, the piece of jewelry is fastened shut. In this way, pieces of
nail jewelry are very similar to those that are worn in the ear.
It is
possible to pierce one's own nails, but it is recommended for those who desire
nail piercings to consult a professional piercer. Professionals can help choose
the best location for a piercing and can create the piercing with an exactness
that many amateurs lack. If the pierced person desires to have as much input as
possible, he or she can browse catalogs for pictures of nail piercings and
approach the piercer with his or her ideas.
Nail
piercings have gained popularity. High-brow fashion designers have jumped on
the nail piercing bandwagon and have designed jewelry intended to be worn on
the nail.
