Hummn... Diff ppl wit diff perspectives...

Emeraldz: Well in some communities, there are some people who specialize in putting those pins into people's body (not physically of course) but when they are removed,they are seen physically. But it is believed that when one wears the safety pin,the evil pins will not enter.Take it or leave it,you can ask your friends from Agulu and Nri in Anambra State.

so, pregnant women in igboland dey attached safety-pin to their clothes also...

What about d Hausas,
Who z gonna help us out?

ignis: My grandfather is on nairaland. Joke apart.

Today marks one of the magical dates in history.
Watch out for dis...
12 noon
12 minutes
12 seconds
Today's date is...
12th Day
12th Month
'12th Year...

This would happen again in the next 88years and where will you be by that time?...

THINK ABOUT THIS:
Whoever trust in his riches will fall,but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf and only the righteous is permited to flourish like a palm-tree.

The righteous person is also a blessed one,who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of the sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful;but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall "PROSPER"

Live a righteous life & desist from every act capable of tarnishing your image before God if you want to PROSPER in life.
SHALOM!!!

ignis: Please do we have any elder or old people in this house. I Think they will be of great help in solving this puzzle.

OILOFGLADNESS: my dear thanks for this post, i ahve been wondering why too,
i had knowledge of this superstitious believe cos i am fond of putting safety pin on my cloths so that i wont misplace them, on one occassion someone called me and told me that she respects me so much and believe that i am so principled, what happend, i never understood, she now asked me why i put pin on my cloth funny enof very close to my stomach
i told her nothing, that was when she told me the implication, since then i become so conscious of it.

Could u pls share d implications wit us...?

sunky644: Interesting, so nairalanders could be this serious with a particular topic to the extent of forgetting the grammatical error in it or I should say The Wole Soyinkas and Patrick Obahiagbons ve not yet commented.
To the topic, was told the reason is to prevent the fetus from evil spirit hovering around.

bushmeat... Chech ur dico.. Fetus is d sametin as foetus..

seedord247: OP.... If your mom did not use safety pin.... You'd have turn to ogbanje or clifford orji..

likewise ur mum... If nt 4 her sake, u 'd hav turn to irunmole... LWKMD

ikamefa: @ topic i reciprocate this way?

lets be realistic here.. Abeg!

Have been wondering why our pregnant women always attached safety pin(s) to their clothes/wears...

It is commonly practiced among the yorubas bt i don't know weda this also applicable to other culture/tribes..

According to an elderly man who pleaded annonimity pointed out that "Safety pin" is usually attached to their clothes/wears so as to prevent fetus from evil spirit/deamon expecially @ noon and night!

I don't know weda u too have witness this in a pregnant women's clothes...

I will appreciate your good responce...
Thanks!

After a visit to a tattoo parlor, hopefully you
will end up with a beautiful piece of body
art that will last a lifetime. However, several
complications can occur after the tattoo is
finished. You will be better able to decide
whether you want a tattoo for yourself if
you know about the tattooing process and
its dangers. If you do want a tattoo, there
are ways to reduce the risk of dangerous
side effects.

1. Function

Before you know the effects tattoos
can have on your skin and body, you
should first know how tattoos are
created. Your tattoo artist will use an
electric tattoo machine that uses
several small disposable needles to
inject ink into the dermis, the lower
layer of your skin. Unlike the epidermis
(upper layer of skin), the dermis
doesn't flake away, so the ink
permanently remains in the skin. This
is why tattoos are so difficult to
remove.

2. Warning

Tattoos can cause skin problems such
as granulomas (red bumps caused by
inflammation) and keloid scars, and
they can provoke allergic reactions,
making skin itch and break out. These
allergic reactions can occur with no
warning, years after you get your
tattoo. Getting a tattoo also puts you
in danger of getting diseases such as
AIDS, tetanus, hepatitis B and hepatitis
C (although you can reduce your risk
by selecting a good tattoo parlor). In
addition to these health problems,
tattoos can cause a hassle at the
doctor's office. Don't tattoo over a
mole, as this makes it harder to detect
cancerous growth. If you get an MRI
scan on a tattooed part of your body,
you may experience swelling or
burning, although these effects aren't
permanent.

3. Prevention/Solution

You can significantly reduce your risk
of contracting a disease or developing
a skin infection by using a tattoo
parlor that follows proper sterilization
procedures. Check that the tattoo
parlor is licensed by the local or state
health department. In addition, ask
whether the tattoo parlor uses
disposable needles and tubes and
throws away used pigments and trays.
A tattoo parlor should have an
autoclave (a machine that sterilizes
nondisposable tools), and surfaces
such as tables should be wiped down
with disinfectant. The tattoo artist
should wash his hands with
antibacterial soap and wear latex
gloves. After you get your tattoo, your
tattoo artist should give you a list of
instructions on how to take care of
your new tattoo. Follow these
instructions to prevent infection and
color loss.

4. Considerations

Even if you experience no side effects,
your tattoo will still be a permanent
part of your appearance. If you get
tired of it, you'll have to go through
the process of tattoo removal, which is
costly and painful. It can also leave
scars behind where the tattoo used to
be. Changes in your appearance can
also change the way your tattoo looks.
If you gain weight, stretch marks can
ruin your tattoo. Women planning on
pregnancy should avoid getting
tattoos on the stomach or breasts.

5. Potential

If you want a tattoo now but not
forever, there may be hope on the
horizon. Scientists have developed
biodegradable tattoo inks that are
easier to remove than traditional
tattoos. Infinitink (see Resources) is
contained inside a tiny plastic bead.
When a tattoo-removing laser hits the
bead, the ink is instantly blasted away,
eliminating the need for several
rounds of removal treatment.
However, Infinitink is more expensive
than regular tattoo ink and therefore
isn't commonly used.
