No win, no fee solicitors and the less cool side of body piercing

Body piercing is increasingly popular. However, with such an invasive fashion statement comes the risk of personal injury, so choosing an expert piercer is essential. After all, who wants to turn a trip to the studio into an appointment with a no win, no fee solicitor?

Body piercing is one of those trends of the noughties that you either get or you don't. Chances are that if you are in your thirties, it is unlikely that you will consider any form of piercing, other than that of the earlobes, to be "normal". For those in their teens and twenties however, body piercing may seem like an attractive and cutting-edge fashion choice.

Yet there is another, less talked about, side to body piercing. The British Medical Journal calculate that as many as 25% of people who choose to have their body pierced go on to develop some form of complication. And with as many as 10% of all UK residents over the age of 18 having some form of non-earlobe body piercing, these are clearly considerable numbers.

Although not all sources of infection will originate in the piercer's studio, some will, which makes choosing a reputed expert essential. It is not uncommon, even, for botched piercings to result in hospital visits. Clearly, avoiding an unnecessary consultation with a no win, no fee solicitor is a good idea, so it is worth heeding the advice of the experts.

One of the researchers behind the British Medical Journal study comments, "If piercing remains fashionable, almost half the female population might eventually have had a body piercing at a site other than the earlobe.

"Even if serious complications are rare, the popularity of the practice and the fact that complications can occur long after the actual piercing, might place a considerable burden on health services for many years.

"It is vital that anyone considering a piercing ensures that they go to a reputable piercer.

"Much of the advice is common sense - don't try to do it yourself, make sure that you know enough about the procedure as well as the skills and experience of the piercer and make sure the environment is clean and hygienic. Your piercer should tell you how to look after the piercing."
