A permanent piercing is a body modification where jewelry is inserted into the skin and remains there indefinitely. Unlike temporary piercings, which can be taken out and closed up, permanent piercings are designed to stay in the body forever. They require careful consideration and professional care to avoid complications like infections. Regular cleaning and check-ups are essential to maintain the piercing’s health and appearance.
