The Piercing Gods
Many body piercers think they are “piercing gods”. They think just because they call themselves a body piercer that they have some magical power to wax eloquent about every aspect of body piercing.
They think that the way they do a piercing is the “only” way. They want to try dangerous piercings. They mistakenly think the more radical piercings they perform, the more important they are.
Beware of this type of body piercer, and hopefully you will never become one. This type of piercer is generally inexperienced and tries to make up for their lack of experience by talking about and doing bold, dangerous piercings with huge inappropriate jewelry.
Do what you know is right for your client. Explain the concept of body adornment and what that means. Your client will know you have their best interest at heart.
Body piercing is an adornment. The body must - adjust to and live with (co-exist) - the jewelry you are inserting into it. Think about those two previous statements. If you fully understand them, you will always do right by your clients.
