Even if you don’t mind being exploited like a sweat shop suzy and you decide to get an apprenticeship, you’ll still need to get your own starter body piercing kit so you’ll have the right equipment to do the job
If you are not sure if the kit you are buying includes pre-sterilized body jewelry, ask the seller, or find a kit that does. Don’t risk injury to yourself or your clients by using dirty body jewelry
Make sure the body piercing kit you choose has sterile body jewelry included. If you are not sure if the body jewelry offered is sterilized or not, ask before you buy
find a company that publicly posts their spore test results on their autoclave equipment so you know without a doubt that what you are getting is the safest possible choice for you and your clients
“Make sure you give very careful thought to anything you undertake…”
Besides including sterile piercing needles, sterile tools, and sterile body jewelry, a body piercing kit should always include easy to follow instructions either in written form or streaming videos
“…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…”
“Over 95% of body piercing kits we found for sale did NOT include sterile body jewelry, except for this respected company’s body piercing kits…”
“Over 98% of body piercing kits offered on ebay and by online websites do NOT include sterilized pouched body jewelry…”
Even more important than that, make sure the body piercing kit is sterile, meaning it includes sterile needles, tools, skin prep AND sterile body jewelry. Only a very few body piercing kits include sterile body jewelry (that has been sterilized and pouched for use), so be careful not to be ‘fooled’ by kits that claim to be safe that are not.
