Piercee's Bill Of Rights  

Every person being pierced has the right . . .

• To be pierced in a scrupulously hygienic, open environment, by a clean, conscientious piercer wearing a fresh pair of disposable latex gloves.

• To a sober, friendly, calm, and knowledgeable piercer, who will guide them through their piercing experience with confidence and assurance. 

• To the peace of mind that comes from knowing that their piercer knows and practices the very highest standards of sterilization and hygiene. 

• To be pierced with a brand-new, completely sterilized needle, which is immediately disposed of or resterilized in an autoclave prior to use on anyone else. 

• To know that ear-piercing guns are NEVER appropriate, and are often dangerous, when used on anything other then ear lobes. 

• To be fitted only with jewelry which is appropriately sized, safe in material, design, and construction, and which best promotes healing. Gold-plated, gold filled, and sterling jewelry are never appropriate for any new or unhealed piercing. 

• To be fully informed about proper aftercare, and to have continuing access to their piercer for consultation and assistance with all their piercing-related questions.
