Choosing a Piercing Artist

When you decide to get a new piercing, there are several factors involved with choosing a piercing artist. While piercing artists usually do maintain a portfolio of their previous work, these photo albums are really not as informative as a tattoo artist's portfolio might be. So while a piercing portfolio might be a place to start, I would recommend considering it alongside other factors.

First, if you have friends who have a lot of piercings, or have the particular piercing you want, ask them who pierced them. Generally speaking, a lot of piercing artists get their new clients via word of mouth from old clients. So a person with multiple body piercings can probably give you good advice on good local piercing artists. In my case, I went through three different piercing artists before I found the one that I really like going to.

Second, especially if you are female, you may want to consider where you are getting pierced, and whether you would prefer a male or female piercing artist to give you that piercing. For some females, having a female piercing artist pierce more "sensitive" or "delicate" areas may be their preference. For others, however, this isn't much of a factor in their decision.

Third, and most importantly, you will want to check out where the piercing artist does his or her work. Is the area clean, well lit, and reasonably comfortable? You want to be assured that the equipment and jewelry will be clean, along with the location in the shop where the piercer does his or her work. Good lighting is critical to your piercing artist being able to see what he or she is piercing. And you want the room to be reasonably comfortable-you wouldn't want to be sitting on an old overstuffed couch while being pierced, but you shouldn't feel too uncomfortable while you are awaiting your piercing.
