Learn practical technique, sanitation, client care, business fundamentals, and the day-to-day skills needed to begin working professionally.
4-Month Piercing Apprenticeship
A comprehensive 4–6 month hands-on program, held 2–3 days per week (Wednesdays & Fridays, 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM).
In the apprenticeship, you'll learn everything you need to work as a licensed body piercer, including:
- Decontamination, sanitation & sterilization
- Autoclave sterilization
- Piercing techniques
- Equipment selection
- Client positioning & education
- Client paperwork & record keeping
- Business licensing

- And more!
You'll begin by shadowing me and observing live piercing models, then practice on training models. Each month, we'll progress to more advanced piercings — and by the end, you'll be performing your own piercings on models independently!
Upon completion, you will be fully prepared to work as a licensed body piercer.
The next step would be an in-person interview. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
