Professional piercers need procedure tools (piercing needles of various gauges, stainless steel clamps and forcepsOpens a new window, medical-grade tapers, and receiving tubes and corks). You'll also want surgical markers and rulers to ensure accuracy. Invest in sterilization supplies, including an ultrasonic cleanerOpens a new window to remove debris from tools before placing them in a medical-grade autoclaveOpens a new window. Also, stock up on gloves and cleaning supplies. Purchase various body jewelryOpens a new window, including barbells, labret studs, and rings. Choose implant-grade titanium, niobium, or 14k or 18k solid gold.
Piercing needlesOpens a new window provide more accurate results with less damage and trauma to the tissue, so healing is often easier. You can sterilize these needles in an autoclave and dispose of them after use, which makes the process more hygienic. Piercing guns are often made of plastic, which is not easy to sterilize, and are reused on multiple clients. A piercing gun uses a spring-loaded mechanism to pierce the skin, which has a greater chance of crushing and tearing the tissue.
To ensure the jewelry is biocompatible and won't cause allergic reactions or infections, the Association of Professional PiercersOpens a new window recommends using surgical-grade stainless steel (look for type 316L). It contains a small amount of nickel, so don't use it on clients with sensitive allergies. Titanium is lightweight, water-resistant, and ideal for clients with nickel sensitivity. Niobium is similar to titanium but a bit more cost-effective, and it can be anodized in different colors. Use solid 14k or 18k gold, not plated.
A dermal piercing, or single-point piercing, doesn't have an exit point for the jewelry. There's a decorative top that rests on the skin. Common spots are the cheekbones, chest, lower back, and nape of the neck.To perform one, get a piercing needle (or dermal punchOpens a new window, if it's legal in your state), forceps or clamp, a threaded taper, and any sterilization supplies (plus the dermal anchor and top jewelryOpens a new window).
The needle gaugeOpens a new window you choose depends on the body part you're piercing and the client's preferences. Here's a breakdown of recommended standard sizes: 12 to 10 gauge for genital piercings; 14 gauge for septum, tongue, nipple, navel, industrial, and dermal piercings; 16 gauge for ear cartilage (lobe, upper lobe, conch, daith, rook, tragus, and helix), lip, and eyebrow piercings; and 18 gauge for nostrils, you can also use them on earlobes.
