How to Talk with Your Body Piercing Clients
Train yourself to avoid using the word PAIN with your body piercing clients. Substitute the word DISCOMFORT instead of using the word pain.
Your conversation could go something like this. Sure you could experience some discomfort. Most people experience pressure. That’s about all the sensation you will have.
Or you could say, if you experience any discomfort at all, it will be just a little pressure. Although it is difficult to eliminate the word FEEL from your vocabulary, I try to substitute the word EXPERIENCE for FEEL as often as I can. Experience something is a lot more exciting than feel something. Experiencing “a thing” has a fun connotation, while “a feeling” had a dual meaning. Could be good, but generally means bad feelings.
It is never a good idea to use the word OOPS during a piercing. That tells your client something is wrong. Not a good thing in the piercing room. Train yourself not to react to what is going on with the piercing. Your conversation during the piercing, if any, should be comforting and reassuring to your client.
I personally think you should NOT always be asking your client “How are you doing?” It is a good idea to never ask your client “How do you feeling” either. If you ask that question, you are asking your client to evaluate themselves and give you a thoughtful response. You don’t want that. You want your body piercing client to be thinking – that wasn’t so bad.
You suggest that attitude in your client by saying: “You did great!” Looking at any observers in the room and saying: “He/She did very well!” Make all of the positive statements you can think of.
If you are confident in your body piercing skills in the piercing room, it will be very easy for you to be thinking of your client’s comfort during the entire piercing process. This is when your client experiences true confidence in you and no certificate hanging on your wall can replace real piercing room skills. Check out the body piercing training videos.
