Lävistystyyppi

Lävistystyyppi refers to the different categories or styles of body piercings. These categories are often distinguished by the location of the piercing on the body, the type of jewelry used, or the technique employed. Common lävistystyyppi include facial piercings such as earlobe, helix, tragus, nose, and lip piercings. Torso piercings encompass navel, nipple, and sternum piercings. Genital piercings are another distinct category.

Beyond location, lävistystyyppi can also refer to the method of piercing, such as needle piercings versus dermal anchors or surface piercings. Jewelry type plays a role as well, with categories like captive bead rings, barbells, labrets, and plugs defining specific lävistystyyppi. The terminology surrounding lävistystyyppi is fluid and can vary between piercing studios and individual piercers. Understanding these different types is important for both individuals seeking piercings and professionals performing them, ensuring safety and proper aftercare. Each lävistystyyppi has specific considerations regarding healing times, potential risks, and suitable jewelry.
