COMMON SENSE
For the best possible piercing experience you should be well rested and have a bite to eat before getting a piercing. Good personal hygiene is crucial to healing a piercing. A good attitude and focused state of mind help immensely. Be nice to your parent/s while you are in the shop as they are going out of their way for you. If you are disrespectful we feel you are not mature enough to take proper care of your piercing and will refuse service. Listen to your piercer, they will guide you through your piercing to make it as quick and painless as possible.
Remember, this is a cooperative effort between you and your piercer. Do not come in under the influence of alcohol or drugs as it actually makes your piercing worse and we will not work on you. Inform your piercer if you have any existing medical conditions. Follow the provided aftercare to successfully heal as quickly as possible. Ask any and all questions you may have before you get pierced.
We want you to be as informed as possible. Feel free to contact us if you have further questions.
If you are 18 years or older we need valid state issued photo ID and it must be current. No Faded, Altered or Expired ID's will be accepted. Your birthday must be on the ID.
Thank you.
APPRENTICESHIPS
Weekly we receive inquiries concerning apprenticeships with HALO Precision Piercing, LLC. While we are pleased to see such avid interest in the industry, we will not be able to accommodate an apprentice at this time. A piercing apprenticeship is an intensive process that requires an immense amount of time and effort on behalf of not only the apprentice, but the senior piercers as well.
Aspiring body piercers should be First Aid/CPR certified and should attend an OSHA blood borne pathogens training class before beginning their training in sterilization, disinfection, cross-contamination, and other health and safety issues. Finally, an apprentice must devote several months to the close observation of all procedures/piercings before spending a minimum of one year in full-time supervised training. Unfortunately, because we are so busy at this time we would not be able to provide the intensive one-on-one attention and training that any aspiring body piercer deserves.
