If your regular piercer did it, you should give them the chance to make it right after it heals up a bit. Usually, it is customary to pay for a re-piercing, unless it was due to an error made by the piercer. Rather than venture off and take your chances with a new piercer, it’s always better to consult your regular one. You may even get it done free (if you are a good customer)…
The sharper the needle (generally), the less pain will be felt by the customer, since a sharper needle will go through the tissue with less resistance and tearing.
The demand for professional body piercers has never been greater than now. The question we get many times here at the Body Piercing News is ‘How Do I Get Started?’
“…we know you are there and we know the struggles you endure daily to purchase your tattoo and body piercing supplies without the bulk buying power of a shop. We also know that you are slandered by the local shops around you and deemed ‘scratchers’ even though those that are calling you that started out as ‘scratchers’ themselves…”
“The effects of injected ink (not to mention the pain involved) as well as the use of body piercing supplies or tattoo machinery around the eye is almost always going to be detrimental to you…”
“…having the right tool at the time of the tattoo or piercing is crucial to your success. Don’t be caught off-guard in the middle of a procedure. Stock up and always have back-ups for your most important tools…”
“You will know if it includes sterilized body jewelry because they will be packaged in light blue color-changing sterile pouches, and usually the company will clearly state that the body jewelry is sterilized. If the description of the kit does not clearly state the body jewelry is sterile, it is not…”
Is it worth the five or ten bucks you save to have someone who does not use the proper sterilized body piercing supplies or tools pierce you with a used needle that may have been used before you with someone who has Hepatitis or AIDS?
“However, either to avoid the higher cost of dermals (as opposed to needles) or because of ignorance, many dermal implants are done with needles (where the hole is stretched and manipulated by the needle) or worse, scalpels…”
“Resistance is caused by and uneven or dull needle that is not sharp enough to puncture the tissue smoothly, creating a resistance from the skin as it tries to go through. Some piercers use water-soluble lubricating jelly on the shaft of the needle to allow the needle to pass through with less resistance, and thus, less pain to the client.”
