These are concerns often asked of professional piercers. But, in all honesty, there are no secrets to being a professional piercer, and the UKAPP agrees that an apprenticeship with an experienced piercer is the only way to join the body piercing industry.
How long do piercing apprenticeships last?
A good apprenticeship will last anywhere from 6 months to several years, and even then, the apprentice must continually read, adapt, listen, and advance.
According to popular belief, being a good customer is the only path to be seen and offered an apprenticeship. The best approaches to getting into the industry are getting pierced, buying high-quality jewellery, showing desire, and assisting the nearest piercer.
