For students away from refuge and free from parental reign for the
first time, piercings or tattoos can seem like ways to assert
individuality or perfection. But some botched jobs can ruin the fun
of having this work done, so here are a few things to keep in
chew out vacillating.
Safety first
The easiest way to ensure a safe
piercing is to go to a clean shop, said Chris Pollok, a body
piercer at Red Cubicle quarters Tattoo. Ask questions about how they sterilize
equipment. If they can't come up with answers to fundamental questions,
that's a problem.
When going in to get a piercing, a customer should witness the
piercer pit sterile packages with gloves, said Stephanie Ditty,
a body piercer at Divine Art Tattoo.
"Everything I do, every tool I use is in its own separate bag and I
open it in front of the customer," she said.
The cleanliness of the workshop and the attitudes of people who work
there are important, Pollok said.
"Dependability your instincts," he said.
