Finding the right piercer doesn't mean that you will never have a problem with your piercing. Your professional will do his job conscientiously, it is then up to YOU to take care of his work and your body by respecting the advice/post-piercing care that he will give you without doing more or less.
Even if you have the best piercer in Paris, Lyon or one of the most renowned, if you go to the swimming pool, to the SPA or if you go to work in the dust, in short if you do not follow his recommendations, a few days after getting pierced, you should not be surprised to have problems.

Be careful though, just because it's down the street from your building doesn't mean it's going to be good. Sometimes it's better to drive a few more miles to get the best quality possible. We're not telling you to go to the other side of the country just yet. |
Ask for references and read reviews
It is important to ask for references and read reviews of the piercer you have chosen. While this is not an absolute truth , this information offers valuable insight into the professionalism of the piercer and the satisfaction of previous clients. You are not immune to coming across reviews written by their friends, or that dissatisfied clients have preferred to go to another professional without leaving a negative review.
Reviews and references help you assess the quality of the piercer's work, their cleanliness and their compliance with hygiene standards. For the best experience, pay attention to the details mentioned in customer reviews.
However, it is necessary to interpret the opinions and references with discernment . Consider all the opinions received, avoiding focusing on a single negative opinion. The goal is to find a piercer who meets your expectations and your requirements in terms of know-how.
If a negative review is about a bad reception for example, don't dwell on it, it is possible that the piercer had a very bad day that day (and yes piercers are also human just like you there can be good days and bad days, robot piercers do not exist yet), or that it is a particularly unpleasant customer (there are quite a few).
Visit the piercing studio
It is important to assess the hygiene of the piercing studio during your visit. Note whether they use sterilized equipment and whether they follow safety and cleanliness standards.
Visiting the piercing studio beforehand also ensures that you feel comfortable and confident in this environment. It also allows you to get to know the piercer, the current must flow well between you. After all, a feeling of comfort and security is crucial when you are about to modify your body. Because yes, piercing is a body modification / skin breakage / bodily violence (yes the words are harsh but it is the reality) and is not to be taken lightly.
Ask all your questions
Before making a final decision, it is crucial to prepare a list of questions to ask your piercer. From the sterilization methods used to their training, no question is irrelevant or unnecessary.
Answering your questions and concerns will help you assess the piercer's skill and professionalism. Every detail counts to ensure a safe and hygienic piercing process.
Asking all your doubts will not only allow you to get to know the piercer better, but also to learn everything you need to know about the piercing experience. What type of prosthesis does he place? Is it a steel, titanium or bioplast prosthesis? Does he use needles, catheters or a gun (this last point will be very clearly eliminatory ...)
Don't leave any question unanswered, no matter how insignificant it may seem. Again, there is no such thing as a stupid question. Don't know? Ask!
It is also essential to educate yourself on the ideal time to change your jewelry, the signs of infection, and how to care for your piercing. These questions will help you minimize the risks after the piercing.
Ultimately, asking all your questions before the piercing is not only a sign of your active involvement in this process, but also an additional guarantee of your safety and the success of your piercing. If the piercer does not have time to answer your concerns, he will not have time to take care of you afterwards.
