After a long chat with colleagues from different countries, provided we agree that the main problem of our industry is the lack of customer information when searching place and the right person to perform a body piercing.
The office of piercer, is a very long career, often informal, This gives room for anyone to do called "professional piercer or piercing professional artist, then I provide basic information on how to identify an ideal place for your new piercing, or modification.
How to choose a good study for your new piercing?
First of all you never drill into a craft fair, flea markets or on the street, is by far the worst mistake you can make, do not have hygienic conditions for a procedure of this kind, chances are you end up with an infection or anti scar aesthetics, rather than a beautiful hole. Why
no?
* Do not have a sink, which maximizes the risk of infection transmitted from whom you drilled.
* Do not have a place to sterilize the material used, which is a risk as hell. Not enough to clean things up with alcohol or other product. *
often reuse needles or used jewelry use another person before, this just in order to minimize the cost of drilling, this is the biggest risk of all, you can get infections such as Hepatitis B virus - C, HIV, etc.
This is the only explanation for the low cost of a hole outside of a pro.
* The person who will see you, does not possess the necessary knowledge to make a hole in the skin and can severely damage your health, or aesthetics.
* Almost always used to drill gun, this is the most common form of low-cost drilling fairs.
Why are inappropriate for piercing guns? "They're plastic
therefore can not be disinfected, let alone sterilize. "You
contact with the blood of many people in one day, putting your life at risk for infections such as Hepatitis B - C or HIV / AIDS. Her rings
cause exaggerated injuries, and the tip of jewelry is dull.
guns, jewelry is a bad material quality, they are very short, causing the earring is embodied, besides not being sterile, the risk of infection is much "almost certain".
How to recognize a truly professional study of Body Piercing?

This certification is always in sight of customers.

* Professional studios have a reception away from the area where the piercings are performed.
* The study is always clean and tidy.
* A box of piercing or studio PRO must have a sink, equipped with water, soap and paper towels as well as paper mills with a lid and inner bag.

"In conclusion, I recommend you seek additional information on the Internet, there are many sites reporting on good and bad practices, one of the sites most important is the PPP, the association of professional piercers worldwide (www.safepiercing.org), unfortunately in America seem to have no member of this prestigious association, however you can read their recommendations, so you can choose
A good punch. "
Another recommendation is not always the most expensive or popular best is the best, so find out, ask for recommendations, called for quality and good service, and above all take care of your piercing. I hope in future to provide information on after care.
There are very few studies in South America where he works as it should, we hope in the future soon, to have a web site a list of "real" those who do good practices, not selected by friendly relations, but based on accurate information with real images of the premises, and each professional certification, for you can check via the Internet.
I want to thank my colleagues from Chile erick Zumaran (steel balls), Gonzalo Sepulveda (pain family) and Javier Fingazz (www.propiercing.cl) and Peter (in the blood body art) and that this text was part of a project Free information to customers, I hope we can finish the project and raise a little more our industry, both against weight make us who drilled without ethics, responsibility and education.
