NOTHING surprises Maryborough's Mary Jensen when it comes to requests for body piercing.
Mary works at Under the Gun Tattooing and Body Piercing as a consultant and she can never predict what each new day will bring.
From tongue piercing to eyebrow or belly button piercing, each day brings fresh requests.
She has seen lots of new trends become popular, including skin divers, which are piercings that are implanted almost anywhere on the body, but particularly the chest and back.
The lobes of the ears are traditionally a popular place to get pierced but more and more Mary is handling requests for other areas of the ears to be pierced.
Along with the nose, eyebrows and lips were also popular places on the face to get a piercing done.
The tongue also remained a regular place for a piercing and Mary said sometimes she was also approached to do a double piercing of the tongue, but it was refused because of the risks involved.
The ages of clients varied, with Mary doing belly button piercing on younger females and also piercing the ears of older ladies.
Another growth area was ear stretchers, which sees the ear lobe stretched out to put in jewellery.
Mary said she had seen the trend grow since its early inception, with jewellery for the stretched lobes now made from stone, wood, amber, bone or silicone, not just the plastic or metal creations that were favoured at first.
While piercings were a fun form of self expression, Mary warned against opting to go to a shop just on the basis of cheap deals.
She said some research was needed to ensure that cleanliness was a priority and that the piercing was done in the right manner to avoid unwanted outcomes, such as a crooked belly button piercing.
Mary said it was also important to go somewhere where the proper aftercare advice was given.
