After a few years of getting front busks, I’ve picked up a few pain-preventing techniques. Here are my top 10 tips to get the perfect front busk with less pain.
1. Get a doctor’s clearance. If you have any underlying health conditions, including diabetes, it is extremely important to be cleared by a doctor before getting your first busk.
2. Take anti-inflammatory medication before the procedure. This will help to prevent swelling and decrease post-procedure discomfort.
3. Ask for numbing cream if you are afraid of needles or have sensitive skin. The numbing cream may make the process more comfortable, but it also increases your risk for infection. Do not use numbing creams for long periods of time or on open wounds or rashes because they may cause adverse reactions in some patients.
4. Eat well and get plenty of rest the night before the procedure. This will help to prepare your body for the shock of surgery, and will also aid in recovery afterward. A good night’s sleep is one of the best things you can do to prepare yourself for an operation!
5. Drink plenty of water before and after the procedure to stay hydrated and keep your body functioning properly during this stressful time
1. Do not wax your front busk more than once a month. The busk can become very sensitive, especially if you are new to the front busk experience.
2. A front busk should be applied at least 10 minutes before it is needed and left on for at least 15-20 minutes.
3. Use a thin layer of oil (coconut is preferable) over the front busk area to avoid excessive rubbing and discomfort.
4. If you find that you have redness after a front busk, you can use a mild cream with aloe vera to calm the skin down and reduce inflammation.
5. Use sun protection after getting your front busk done, as the skin can get damaged easily by the sun’s rays. If you notice redness or irritation, apply some anti-inflammatory creams or lotions to soothe the area and prevent further damage to the skin.
6. Avoid wearing tight clothes made out of synthetic fabrics after getting a front busk as they can irritate the skin and cause rashes or itching sensations in the area.
7. Try not to touch your face too much after getting a front busk as this can spread bacteria from hands onto freshly waxed areas which may lead
1. Don’t go for too big of a size. You want to be able to move around and not have it interfere with your everyday life.
2. Start small and work your way up. A common mistake is going way too big the first time, this can lead to pain and discomfort.
3. Ask an experienced friend or your piercer if you have any questions or concerns about your busk.
4. Buy a high quality busk, jewelry made from cheap materials can cause irritation and infection if the metal is not sterile.
5. Purchase a busk designed specifically for front busking, they will be curved to fit your anatomy better than a straight barbell that is more commonly used in other piercings.
6. Be sure to ask about a custom fitting if you are unsure of what size busk to get, it’s important that you get one that fits properly so there isn’t any unnecessary pressure on your piercing which can lead to pain and irritation.”
If you’re reading this, you’re probably thinking about getting a front busk. Here are some tips to make the experience as painless as possible.
1) Preparing for your front busk: Don’t do anything different the night before your busk. Just because you’re getting a busk doesn’t mean you need to sleep naked or wear loose clothing to bed. If you normally sleep in the nude, it’s fine to continue doing so. If you normally wear pajamas, don’t switch to your birthday suit just because of the busk. It’s also okay to sleep on your belly if that’s how you usually do it—just be prepared to roll over on your side when actually getting the busk.
2) Wearing loose clothing: This is important! You’re going to want clothes that can easily be pulled up and down during the procedure, but not so loose that they fall off while walking around outside of your home (like mine did). It’s okay if they’re a little tight around your waist—it’ll just feel more comfortable when adjusting them later on during recovery time (at least until swelling occurs). But don’t go overboard here either; too much pressure from tight-fitting
