How to Safely Get a Tattoo or Body Piercing - Part 2
How to safely get a body piercing is equal to the question how do you choose the right piercer.
In this era of blood born diseases you have to be very careful in choosing the person who will perform the piercing on you.
When you are checking out piercing studios you should look first for an autoclave. If they don't have one, you shouldn't let them pierce you. (If the dont have an autoclave how are they sterilizing their equipment?)
After you located the autoclave you should ask for their spore test results.
A spore test indicates if the autoclave is working properly.
The most important thing you have to check is if the piercing studios are reusing the needles!
All needles should be in individual packages and they should be opened in your presence.
You should check out if the studio is clean or not.
You should look at the personnel too, are they clean and neat? The walls are washed, the carpets vacuumed, the toilets are clean? If you feel they are not, then it is probably best to walk away.
You should ask for recommendation.
If you have friends, who had piercings or tattoos, you like how they look, and they didn't have any trouble in the healing process you should ask them where they got them.
You should check out the piercings jewelry selection.
They should have a variety of types, measures and designs.
The studio should have an after-care sheet, where it is explained what should you do after you get your piercing or tattoo.
Don't forget to ask about a license too.
We hope that if you decide to get your piercing/tattoo you will be careful and you will look gorgeous with it!
