ADVENT CALENDARS - Now Available for Order
Body piercing and body modification have been around nearly as long as humans themselves, and they’re more common today than ever. Regardless of whether you’re a long-time shop owner searching for quality inventory or an apprentice performing your first piercing, PainfulPleasures carries all the professional body piercing supplies and piercing equipment you need.
From sharp, sterile needles to skin prep and sterilization, we’ve got you covered with all of the essential body piercing supplies a pro needs.
The most essential body piercing supplies are piercing needles. In our store, you’ll find piercing needles of various sizes, lengths, and tapers to perform piercings on any area of the body, from the most basic ear piercings to more advanced and unusual body modifications.
Many piercings and installations also require additional piercing tools such as opening and closing pliers and forceps, tapers, receiving tubes, skin markers, calipers, or dermal piercing tools. We also carry high-quality suspension hardware and suspension hooks.
If you stock and sell jewelry in your shop, you’ll also want to invest in an anodizer. Anodization is an electrochemical process that applies a decorative, durable, corrosion-resistant surface to metals like titanium or niobium. Anodizers allow you to create your own custom jewelry designs or allow customers to select a personalized color and finish for a basic piece of body jewelry. In addition to anodizers themselves, we carry all the equipment and peripherals you need to use them safely and effectively.
Of course, working hygienically is a must to ensure client safety. That means carrying a range of medical supplies from disposables like nitrile gloves, face masks, and bandages to sterilization supplies like surface disinfectant, skin cleansers, and sterile drop sheets for your workstation. Additionally, you’ll want to send your clients home with all the piercing aftercare supplies they need to ensure their piercing heals quickly and fully, such as sea salt solution, aftercare soap, and skin conditioner.
With our selection of professional-grade needles, medical supplies, and additional piercing tools, it’s easy to design your own custom kit that’s perfectly tailored to your piercing practice. To create your kit, we recommend starting with a supply of needles in every gauge and length you use. If you perform more complex piercings, you may also want to stock up on curved and hooked needles. Next, be sure to add disposable gloves and skin prep supplies to ensure every client gets a safe, sterile piercing. Finally, round out your kit with any specialized piercing tools needed for your practice. If you’re just starting out with basic ear piercings, you may not need many specialized tools. But if you perform more complex piercings like dermals, tongue piercings, navel piercings, and more, you’ll need supplies like pliers, forceps, calipers, or dermal piercing tools.
The contents of piercing kits varies, but many come with just a few basics like needles, gloves, sterilizing solution, and a few pieces of basic body jewelry. We recommend being wary of many kits sold online. Some are marketed to non-professionals who want to DIY their own piercings. Many do not guarantee that the supplies have been properly autoclaved and may come with dull, low-quality needles and jewelry made from cheap metals that are more likely to cause allergic reactions. Some also come with ear piercing “guns” that force the blunt end of studs into the ear, increasing pain and infection risk for the client. These are not the tools true piercing professionals need.
That’s why we always recommend professionals design their own kits from trusted piercing tool suppliers like PainfulPleasures. And if the low price tag of online piercing kits is tempting, don’t worry – we offer wholesale prices on professional piercing supplies, so you don’t have to compromise on quality or cost.
With decades in the business, PainfulPleasures is what professional piercers need for their business. We only stock supplies from trusted brands, so you can rest assured you are giving your clients the best piercing experience possible.
