Body Piercing
Body piercing studios generally take plenty of precautions
to protect the health of the person being pierced. Tools
and jewelry need to be sterilized in autoclaves
and non-autoclavable surfaces have to be cleaned
with disinfectant agents on a regular basis .
A Proper Piercer uses Sterile, single use gloves to protect
both the piercer and the piercy. Generally, a piercer will
use multiple pairs of gloves per client, often one pair for
each step of setup to avoid cross contamination.
For example, after a piercer has cleaned the area to be
pierced on a client, the piercer may change gloves to avoid
recontaminating the area with the gloves he/she used to
clean it.
