Learn how to pierce from professional guides
January 19, 2005

Becoming a professional is more than just knowing how to pierce
properly. It involves being aware of the risks of infection, knowing
the importance of aftercare, and being able to advise your clients
properly. If you are thinking about a career as a professional
piercing, there are training resources available that can get you
started, though, that give you a great foundation.
Two sites that offer excellent training videos on how body
piercing is done
are
www.piercinghelp.com and
www.piercingpros.com. Both have professionally designed videos
that give you step-by-step instruction on the latest piercing
techniques with clear
information and answers to your basic questions. It’s a good
starting point for seeing if this is a career you want to pursue.
No video is a substitute for real life experience, however, so
you should also take the next step by telling a professional that
you would like to learn to body pierce by becoming an apprentice.
Many piercing parlors offer apprenticeships that last from six
months to two years and give you valuable expertise. Ask questions
about their apprenticeships and what is involved, including what
kinds of courses might be needed on health issues. No amount of
training on body piercing is complete until you take a course in
first aid and another in blood borne pathogens. Safety should always
be a part of learning proper piercing practices.
The bottom line is that learning how to perform piercings requires
dedication and hard work, so if you are sure this is the path for
you, contact the Association of Professional Piercers (APP) at
www.safepiercing.org for more information.
