Vital Questions in Assessing Your Client’s Piercing Problems
Here Are Revealing Questions to Ask Your Client When Confronted With Their Piercing Problems. When you ask a question – immediately shut-up and listen carefully to the answer. If you will ask at least 3 probing questions of your client, they will generally tell you exactly what they are doing to create the problem with their piercing. However, if you do not listen carefully, you will miss what they are saying. You may find some questions very simple, some redundant, and some way out there. We ask questions many different ways to get the right answers. Think of yourself as Sherlock Holmes. When it comes to detecting the problem with a person’s piercing, if you are doing the talking, you are losing the battle. Here are the questions:
How old is the piercing?
When did it start acting up:
What was it doing when you first noticed the change in the piercing?
Who did the piercing, i.e. your shop or someone else?
How are you taking care of it (what type of aftercare are they using, if any)
What have you been putting on the piercing to help it heal?
Have you put someone else’sll jewelry in your piercing?
did you change your jewelry?
How did you sterilize the jewelry before you put it in?
Do you have your original jewelry you were pierced with in the piercing?
Has the piercing been ripped or torn? (eyebrow piercings generally migrate out if the piercing is torn or ripped even if just slightly)
Do you sleep on the piercing?
Is the piercing redder in the morning than in the evening? ( if so that means they are probably sleeping on it)
Do you belt over the piercing (navel)? (tool belts, gun belts [police, public safety & detention officers], etc)
Do you sit on your job most of the day?
Do you rub your stomach on a display counter at your work?
How often do you clean it each day? (Cleaning too much can be as detrimental as not cleaning at enough)
