How to find models to learn piercing - safely and honestly

The model is not training material. This is a person who has the right to know the course of the procedure, the student's experience level and the rules of supervision, and to freely refuse. Before you start looking for volunteers, prepare safe conditions, the scope of procedures and how to obtain informed consent.

First the conditions, then the announcement

The announcement should appear only when you have the right place, position, procedures and person to consult. Only choose piercings that you have practiced before or practiced under supervision.

The final qualification also depends on the anatomy of the specific model.

How to write an honest advertisement?

Specify the type of piercing, place and date. Also write directly about your experience and the presence of a supervisor.

Explain the scope of the procedure, possible limitations and your right to cancel before starting. Avoid pressure, countdowns and promises of results without taking into account anatomy.

Informed consent and qualification

Before the procedure, the model needs time to ask questions, learn about the procedure and become familiar with the care. You also need to conduct an interview within the limits of the piercer's competence.

If there are contraindications or lack of appropriate conditions, the procedure should be postponed or canceled. Consent alone is not a substitute for safe qualification.

After the procedure: contact and control

Determine how the model can be contacted regarding jewelry, inspections or concerning symptoms. Respect privacy and do not treat your follow-up visit solely as a photo opportunity.

Also read, when to postpone the piercing, and see plan after the piercing course.

Where to look for models without putting pressure

You can send the announcement to the local community, studio observers or a closed group interested in the practice. Immediately provide the location, date, procedure, level of experience and method of supervision.

Don't choose the first person reported without talking to them. Qualification should be based on anatomy, history and conditions for safe performance of the procedure.
