The piercer will help
you choose appropriate size and style of jewelry for your
piercing. Starter jewelry is often simpler, less ornate, and
often more liberal in size than the options you may have after
the piercing heals.
|
| ► |
If you want more
privacy, the piercer can pull a curtain around.
|
| ► |
If you have a
sensitivity to latex, we can use vinyl gloves.
|
| ► |
The site to be pierced
is measured, marked, and cleaned.
|
| ► |
You may be able to sit
upright for certain piercings, such as ear, nostril and nipple,
so let the piercer know if you have a preference. Most piercings
are done with you reclining.
|
| ► |
Optional anesthetic
oral-gel may be applied for a tongue or lip piercing.
|
| ► |
Autoclave-sterilized
tools, jewelry, piercing needle, etc. are arranged within reach
for the procedure.
|
| ► |
Unlike some other
piercers, Roscoe uses only new jewelry. If a Piercer
“trades-in” jewelry, this means that jewelry is being
re-used. Ewww!
|

Many piercings are
done after applying forceps, a sterilized stainless steel clamp
that compresses and steadies the area to be pierced. Other
piercings, such as the nostril, use a “needle receiving
tube.”
|
| ► |
A sterile one-use
hollow piercing needle of the appropriate size is dipped in
sterile surgical lubricant, then passed through the piercing
site, visible through the openings in the forceps.
|
| ► |
The jewelry is butted
against the end of the piercing needle, and pushes it the rest
of the way through, so the jewelry remains in the new piercing.
|
| ► |
The bead closure is
replaced into the ring, if a captive bead ring is used; a
threaded bead is screwed back onto a barbell or labret.
|
| ► |
The amount varies from
person to person and piercing to piercing, but some bleeding
would not be unusual.
|
| ► |
The piercer will give
you a chance to see your new piercing, then may put gauze over
the site.
|
| ► |
Piercer will probably
make you sit for a couple of minutes, especially if you feel
kind of light headed or dizzy. This reaction is not uncommon, so
don’t be embarrassed.
|
| ► |
Piercer will review
aftercare instructions and cleaning routine with you.
|
| ► |
The only stupid
question about your piercing is the one you don’t ask. Speak
up, or forever hold your pierce!
|
| ► |
It is now up to you to
take proper care of the piercing.
