How To Become A Body Piercer

Tbh I pierce in the US. I have been for over 6 years. My apprenticeship is really close to what you described. I got my blood born pathogens certification, then spent at least 6 months shadowing someone, just watching piercings, learning, asking questions, cleaning equipment, placing orders for jewelry, etc.
Then when I was finally ready to start piercing, I started with my friends and pierced them for free (supervised of course), then after doing so many of a certain piercing, I was allowed to offer my services to walk-in clients at a discounted rate if they were ok with me being new to the job. And I just worked at it until I was really good at every piercing we offered. :)
So it's technically an apprenticeship but it sounds like I learned almost exactly like you did.

I have diagnosed Anxiety so I’m very anxious and stressed all the time BUT I’m currently a Dental Assistant.. surrounded by anxious patients and high stress fast paced work and do pretty well. I wonder if I could handle the piercer industry even though they said not to become a piercer if you’re anxious or get stressed easily 🤔

did you get paid as a piercing trainee? i know it's mandatory here to pay apprentices but i was wondering how it is where you are :)

You pronounced autoclave wrong.

Me, an American going to law school and has never even been to Australia: I need to know how to become a piercer in Australia.

I’m working on my way to start up my own piercing business. Doing the course This April so I have the practical side. You are helping me so much to know the steps to take xx

I did a 4yr piercing apprenticeship in Australia.... I was lucky enough to find someone who was happy to pay me to learn and took the time to train me properly! Very rare, but it does happen!

I use to want to be a body piercer, because I use to pierce my own ears (don't get mad lmao) and then my ex let me try to pierce his ear with a sewing needle 😬😬😬😬😬

Interesting video. I guess a good piercer needs similar knowledge as a nurse, considering you are literally making holes in people, especially a piercing close to arteries, veins and nerves. Also there is a hepatitis (C?) Risk if materials aren't to standard?

Have you ever met a left handed piercer ? I’ve been doing my own piercings since I was a teenager. I am 25 now. I’m having thoughts of becoming a professional piercer. I have some worries though because of my left handed ness lol
