Piercing is an ancient art form that has been practiced and enjoyed for centuries. Body piercing requires artistic talent, medical knowledge, professional training and a lengthy apprenticeship. Not everyone is qualified to pierce! Look for a professional piercer who uses sterile instruments and needles in a clean environment: check your piercer's experience, reputation and level of training. See if he/she has an autoclave to sterilize his/her tools, spore tests regularly, uses rubber gloves, and employs proper sterile/aseptic technique. Please be cautious, and never hesitate to question anything your piercer does or says. If you value your well-being, do your homework and choose your piercer carefully.
