Parental Concern: Should you allow a Body piercing or a tattoo?

“in many states (like California), minors are prohibited to get tattoos of any kind, while body piercings are allowed with parental consent.

What body piercings are still taboo?

“There’s an old saying that applies in body art as well that says all is fine when done in ‘moderation’. As a rule, if you don’t take something too far, or wear something too ‘extreme’, you won’t be looked at as a freak (unless, of course, that is the what you’re after. :)”

“A quality professional-grade body piercing kit should include the following items; sterile, pre-packaged hollow piercing needles(s), skin preparation (benzalkonium chloride is better than alcohol at disinfecting and does not dry the skin out), piercing tool(s) like forceps (that are sterilized and packaged for immediate use), and the most important of all, sterile body jewelry that has been autoclave sterilized for your (and your client’s) protection…”

FAQ: Can your boss tell you to remove your body piercing?

“If you work in a non food-related job and wearing body jewelry or having a body piercing is not a liability to the customers or clients, you may be fine getting pierced. The best policy is to always communicate with your boss and if you think there may be a chance that body modifications are an issue where you work (i.e. no one else seems to have any) ask before you get it done – just to be sure.”
