Explanations of the various types of body piercings and how they are performed
No matter where you go to get it done make sure the person doing your body piercing is qualified, licensed and registered with the local health department. If these credentials are not clearly posted in plain sight (as required by law), leave immediately and find a place that does obey the law
“The first time I did one was when a customer came in for a tattoo and mentioned he had hitch-hiked his way to our shop”, reports Robin Ryan of Lancaster, California.
If you are unsure of the qualifications of your body piercer or tattoo artists, ask to see their health department permit BEFORE you agree to have them do any work on you
we strongly recommend you seek the guidance of a professional piercer, so that the piercing is done correctly and positioned in the right area
Lastly, the use of sharp piercing needles reduces the pain felt during a piercing
If you aren’t sure if the body jewelry being used for your piercing is not sterilized, ask
if you are currently out in the job market it may be a good idea to put off getting that facial tattoo or buying that body piercing kit until after you have talked it over with a new boss
make sure you are using sterile body jewelry and proper technique when piercing and if you are a piercer, make sure you buy your body piercing supplies and body piercing kits from a reputable supplier
