Never Use These Words with Clients
Everything you say and do must be comforting to the piercing client. That means there are certain works you never use. This takes some training and discipline on your part but you will thank yourself if you delete these words from you body piercing lexicon.
Those words are:
HURT
PAIN
OOPS
BLEEDING
RECOMMEND
When people walk into a piercing studio, they are very susceptible to suggestion, both from you and those accompanying them. Consequently, the words you use are very important.
Your piercing client will ask: Does it hurt? Your answer is: You will feel pressure, that’s about all. If they persist: You just say: it is a pressure piercing, that’s about all you will feel. It’s just like pinching yourself quickly and letting go.
If you do the piercing right, that is all they will feel. Basically, all they are experiencing is the feel of the “drag of the needle” going through their tissue. This is where the feeling of “pressure” comes from. Train yourself to avoid these words at all costs.
