A professional piercing appointment should begin with a consultation.
Your piercer should discuss your requested placement, assess your anatomy, explain relevant risks, and answer your questions.
The placement should be reviewed with you before the procedure. You should have the opportunity to confirm that you're comfortable with the proposed location.
The piercer then prepares the area and the necessary equipment according to appropriate hygiene procedures.
A sterile, single-use piercing needle is generally used by professional body piercers. The appropriate jewelry is inserted, and the piercer should explain the initial care routine.
The procedure itself may be brief, but the consultation and preparation deserve time and attention.
You can ask for an explanation at any point. You should never feel rushed into consenting to a procedure you don't understand.
