Before getting pierced, eat a normal meal, drink water, and arrive with enough time to discuss your questions. Avoid alcohol or recreational substances that could impair your judgment or increase procedural risks.
Bring any identification or documentation required by the studio. If you're taking medication or have a condition that could affect healing or bleeding, discuss it with an appropriate healthcare professional and disclose relevant information to your piercer.
Ask to review the proposed placement before the procedure begins. You should understand what is happening and be comfortable giving consent.
