Problem: Article: Throwing a camping hatchet or an axe around might seem like fun, but it's dangerous and not recommended for the mechanics described here. Get a traditional throwing tomahawk made for the purpose. These are weighted appropriately for throwing, offering a smooth action and a lightweight, making them ideal for the purpose. You can even shop on Amazon for throwing tomahawks, which range anywhere from $20-30 dollars for entry-level quality models. You need something wooden for the tomahawk to stick into, preferably dead wood that won't be harmed by the dings you're going to put in it with your expert strikes. Regularly tomahawk chuckers will typically use a slice of dead tree stump, at least 4 or 6 inches (10.2 or 15.2cm) thick, mounted on a stand. Aside from hurting the tree, throwing tomahawks at a rounded target can cause the 'hawk to glance and bounce unpredictably. Even if you're practicing proper safety, throwing at a live tree is a bad idea. Never throw tomahawks at targets it won't be able to stick into. It might seem fun to knock cans off the fence, but you risk damaging your tomahawk and wearing the head down considerably. It's also dangerous. Tomahawks don't stick into soft-wood targets because they're razor sharp, they stick because they're thrown correctly and accurately. Don't risk serious injuries by honing your tomahawk blades to paper-cutting sharpness. It's unlikely that you'll ever need to use the tomahawk for any reason other than fun target practice, so keep it dull and keep it safe. Only throw tomahawks outdoors. It's important to practice all the safety you'd practice if you were firing a gun when throwing tomahawks. Find an open area to set up your target that's clear of any underbrush or obstacles that'll get in the way of your flying tomahawk. Make sure no one walks behind you or behind the target at any point during your throws.
Summary: Get a proper throwing tomahawk. Get a target stop. Keep the blade dull. Always be aware of your surroundings.

Problem: Article: twice a day. Use a sterile saline solution, a 50/50 water-and-soap solution, or hydrogen peroxide. Twice a day, saturate a Q-Tip or cotton swab with the cleaning solution, then let it soak into the pierced area for a few minutes. Wipe your piercing from inside and outside your nose. If you've given yourself a nose ring, rotate it slightly each time you clean it. If you are especially worried about infection, it's okay to clean the piercing as often as every few hours. Avoid cleaning too often, however, if you're using a particularly harsh cleaning agent. Repeat this process every day until the piercing heals. Your nose will be swollen and sore for a few days after the job, but it should feel normal before the week is over. Be aware that the piercing may take as long as 3-4 months to completely "heal". Be aware that hydrogen peroxide may disrupt scarless wound healing. Many piercing professionals advocate the use of this chemical as a cleaning agent, but you should be aware of the risks. Always wash your hands before handling the piercing, and clean it regularly. If you are fastidious about cleaning the piercing, and you were careful to sterilize all of your equipment, you shouldn't need to worry. If, however, your piercing is still red and painful a week later, there's a chance that the wound has become infected. Seek medical advice before it gets worse. Consider using antibiotics like Neosporin and antibacterial soap to protect the wound. These products can seriously reduce the risk of inflammation. If you don't clean your piercing regularly, you may need to use heavy-duty prescription antibiotics which can be costly and questionable for your health. If you take it out for longer than a few hours, there's a chance that the hole will close up. The skin of your nostril heals very quickly, and you might have to pierce it again if the stud no longer fits. Leave your stud in for at least three months before changing it out with something else. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask around at your local piercing parlor. Although you didn't get your piercing done there, they will probably be willing to give you advice if you ask nicely. If you have any medical concerns, don't hesitate to visit your doctor.
Summary: Clean the piercing Avoid infection! Don't remove the piercing for too long. Ask for advice.
