Why? Because good and safe mentorships happen at good studios and those are hard to come by aswell.<\/p><p>More times than not, this profession is not taken serious. There&#8217;s lots of people who trained themselves, or tattoo artists who just saw piercing as an extra way to earn money. This said, you&#8217;ll have to find a good studio with a reputable piercer first.<\/p><p>Most piercers would advise you to <strong>go to a piercer with at least 5 years of professional experience<\/strong>. The more, the better of course. They need enough experience and time to make mistakes and learn from them before they can pass their piercing skills and knowledge onto someone else. Exceptions prove the rule, sometimes.<\/p><p>Apprentices also need a job once they&#8217;ve &#8221;graduated&#8221; their apprenticeship.

It should also be the time where you&#8217;ll have to get a CPR and a bloodborne pathogens certificate. If you&#8217;re from the US you&#8217;ll have to meet the body art specific OSHA requirement.<\/p><p>During this period, you&#8217;ll also be learning about body piercing tools (like surgical markers and hollow needles), body jewelry, the human anatomy.<\/p><p>Slowly you&#8217;ll start to learn about the piercing techniques. Your instructor shouldn&#8217;t let you perform piercings on anybody until you&#8217;ve gotten the hang of all of these elements!<\/p><p>Some may have you read the piercing bible aswell. It&#8217;s a book full of concrete facts and practical advice about health and safety for anyone who might want to get pierced, is pierced or wants to become a piercer. So, if you want to make it easier on yourself, do the required reading beforehand.<\/p><p><strong>Once you have everything down, your instructor might let you pierce someone.<\/strong> Don&#8217;t expect to get paid, but if you do, count yourself lucky.<\/p><p>You&#8217;ll be under supervision for a while until your mentor has the confidence in you and until you have the ability to do things on your own.<\/p><p>A lot of piercers will have you <strong>starting out on silicone bodyparts first<\/strong>, though.
