Professional Starter Body Piercing Kit

Many people are frustrated with being asked to do more for less at their current jobs, or worse, are finding it difficult to even find a job.  While some say the economy is getting better, many changes in the job market are here to stay.  Worker’s rights are being taken away, as well as expectations of benefits, raises and the feeling that working hard will lead to job security and retirement.

There are very few industries that have grown over the last few years.  One of them is the booming demand for body piercers.  As body piercing becomes more and more commonplace, the demand has reached a critical point for qualified professional body piercers.  With the proper training and a  starter body piercing kit you can easily earn over $100.00 per hour either working for yourself or out of a tattoo shop.  You just need to be good with customers and not be squeamish about blood (which is part of the territory).  If you can handle that you may have what it takes to be a great body piercer.  For a complete starter body piercing kit that includes streaming how-to videos and a booklet that show you how to get started and start piercing legally in the area near you, click on the link provided earlier in the sentence.  Good luck!

When it comes to tattoo and body piercing supplies, there is one burning question that needs to be asked: Is it sterile?  The reason for this is that tattooing and body piercing involves breaking the skin, and the instruments/tools that penetrate the skin MUST be sterile, or you are putting yourself (or your customers) at risk of developing severe infections, injury or possibly (in the worst cases) death.

Although there are many sellers offering such supplies online, there are relatively few that have a bankable track record and truly understand the importance of taking proper measures to insure the sterility of what they sell.  We have reviewed many sellers of body piercing supplies and found the best in price and quality is a company that offers true free shipping on all the body piercing supplies they sell, and can be found by clicking the link provided in this text.

As more and more of the population embrace body piercings, the question of what, where and when to get pierced becomes a consideration.  If you are a baby-boomer who has been on the sidelines a bit regarding body art (tattoos and body piercings), you may be wondering if there is an age ‘limit’ on such things as tattoos and piercings.

Such a question is really subjective, and a matter of personal expression.  If you are looking to project a wild-side to your personality, a tattoo or body piercing might go well with that new Harley Davidson motorcycle you just purchased.  However, if you are still in the career world and are concerned with image, you might want to hold off on that septum piercing for now and settle for a nose piercing or monroe.  Or, you can elect to get some ‘intimate’ body piercings where no one will ever see them (except for your significant other).  Remember, whether you take the plunge and order that body piercing kit online (for home/self piercing) or go to your local body art shop, body piercings (unlike tattoos) are reversible, so if you change your mind you can just take the jewelry out (except for micro-dermal implants, which are not considered body piercings, since they do not have and entry and exit point).

Like many other things, body piercing can become a compulsion and carried to an extreme.  While most people do not have this problem, other individuals that may be more prone to such things can become obsessed with getting pierced to the point where it can be dangerous.  Body art (tattoos included) enthusiasts may start out with a single piercing or tattoo, only to find themselves wanting more within a short period of time.  This desire is normal, and for most does not become an issue.  However, if someone begins having piercings or tattoos performed for no other reason than to get it done, something may be wrong.

No matter what your reasoning, make sure you get your body piercings from a professional that uses sterile body piercing supplies and has all required certifications and permits to pierce legally in the county he/she operates in.  If such credentials are not readily visible, or you have any doubt that your piercer or tattoo artist may not have such credentials, it is your duty to speak up and ask to see them, that way you will know exactly what you are dealing with.  Good luck!

Many people are looking to get a body piercing, but are not entirely comfortable with the idea of going to a tattoo shop to get it done, or are unwilling to pay the price for a professional body piercing.  Although most body piercings should be performed by a professional body piercer, there are many individuals that are choosing to pierce themselves and purchase body piercing kits online.

There are primarily two major differences between body piercing kits sold online; they either include forceps (or not, in which case they are considered ‘free-hand’ kits), or they include sterile body jewelry (or not, which if not sterilized, can cause major infections).  Make sure the body piercing kit you purchase includes sterile body jewelry and the proper skin preparation materials.  We found the best body piercing kits anywhere include sterile body jewelry and streaming how-to videos, as long as printable aftercare instructions.  Click on the link to see these safe and complete body piercing kits.

Sterile Body Piercing Kit

If you are in the market for body piercing supplies or just a body piercing kit, you have to decide which of the many sellers to purchase from.  More importantly than the seller, is that you choose a kit that has sterile body jewelry.  This is because while most kits include sterile needles and prep materials, an alarmingly low percentage of them do not include sterilized body jewelry.

Why is this crucial component neglected?  Mainly it is due to the cost and time involved in sterilizing body jewelry.  To properly sterilize body jewelry to FDA standards, an autoclave or sterilizer must be used, which cost between 800 and 5,000 USD to buy.  The bottom line is this; if a seller of body piercing supplies or body piercing kits is worth their salt, they will include not only sterile body jewelry but also comprehensive aftercare information and how-to videos to access for amateurs to have the best chance of success.  We found this company (click on link) to have the best quality body piercing kits at the best prices, with 100% True Free Shipping on all orders, without an order minimum.

Professional Body Piercing Shop

As body piercing continues to grow in popularity and practice, the demand for competent body art technicians has grown exponentially.  The popularity of body piercing has created such a demand for trained body piercers that in many areas of the country, the prices of getting pierced have skyrocketed.

Although many types of body piercing require sophisticated techniques and experience to perform safely and successfully, you can learn to perform basic body piercings within a short time with the proper guidance and a starter body piercing kit that can be purchased from respected sellers of body art supplies online for under $200.00.  If you are thinking about changing careers, or have had trouble finding a job in this economy, becoming a body piercer may prove to be an enjoyable and profitable new career.  We have found the best way to do this is through an apprenticeship with a master body piercer.  You will also need to purchase a starter body piercing kit (click on link) such as this one, from the top-rated seller of body piercing kits anywhere.

If you think a split tongue looks great and are seriously considering doing it, you need to be aware of a few important things.  As you may already know tongue-splitting can be done in a few different ways; by using a taught string (over time – which is the safest procedure), by cutting (absolutely NOT recommended), or by a combination of  these methods.  The truth is that although if successful, tongue-splitting can be an interesting effect, it is extremely dangerous and not recommended.  Not only are the chances high that you could have a bleed out, nerve damage (paralysis), and/or encounter other infections or complications, it is not usually reversible, and if it can be reversed requires surgery.

Unlike the task of self-piercing (with a sterile body piercing kit), tongue-splitting is much, much more risky.  The photo shown is a case in point of some of the hazards of tongue splitting (known as tongue bifurcation) and is a very common result of this type of self-procedure.  We here at the Body Piercing News take the unanimous stand that this procedure is NOT recommended, under any circumstance, and should not be attempted by anyone.

The shop I work for is a bit of an oddity – we not only pierce and tattoo people but we also sell the supplies and piercing kits to do it yourself.  I get hit up all the time with the same question: Can you teach yourself to body pierce or tattoo?  Well, there isn’t really a clear answer on that one.  It really depends on YOU.  I mean, either you are a smart, self-motivated perfectionist (like me ) or you aren’t, and if you aren’t, I suggest you don’t quit that lawn-mowing job just yet.

I began my career buying a starter body piercing kit online that had videos and information on how to get registered with the health department.  I began poking myself first, and then talked a few of my loved ones into being guinea pigs.  Even though I didn’t know what I was doing yet, word got out and before I knew it I had everybody and their sister coming at me for piercings.  (FYI: You’ll find there’s never a shortage of takers in this world when the word ‘free’ is involved – and with the country’s economy on it’s ass, there’s more out there than ever that will let you practice on them.)  Once I got the hang of it I apprenticed myself at a shop and put the fine-tuning on the now world-famous Pokee technique.  About the only people that are going to tell you that you can’t do it yourself are the guys that see you as a threat to their livelihoods – they would rather have you doing shit work for free at their shops, sweeping floors, getting donuts, making coffee and cleaning up bloody messes, rather than doing what you should be doing with your time – piercing.  Even if you don’t mind being exploited like a sweat shop suzy and get an apprenticeship, you’ll still need to get your own starter body piercing kit so you’ll have the right equipment for the job.

Good luck and let me know how it goes.

That’s all I got for now,

Is This Pokee?

Many people that have never received a body piercing before would not think of using a body piercing kit.  Although if possible, it is always recommended to seek the services of a licensed body piercer, using a body piercing kit can be the solution to a few problematic situations.  For instance, if you cannot afford the high cost of a salon piercing, or the area you want pierced is a private area (and you don’t want a stranger to do it), purchasing a body piercing kit can become an option.

The question is not only whom should pierce you (friends with piercing experience, spouses or relatives are usually best choices), but what body piercing kit should you choose for the procedure?  There a many body piercing kits offered by sellers on sites like ebay, amazon.com or other auction sites that vary widely on price, quality and contents.  You can either wade through the hundreds of offerings to find the right kit, or go to a respected leading company specializing in body piercing kits and body jewelry (by clicking on the link shown).  No matter what you choice of kits, make sure you purchase a body piercing kit that includes sterile body jewelry, and make sure your kit gives you proper how-to instructions (ideally videos) and proper aftercare instructions.
