Is the placement suitable?
A piercer should examine the area, explain angle and tissue needs, and offer an honest alternative when a placement is not a good fit.
Piercings
Choose for your anatomy, style, and real-life routine.
A good piercing plan considers jewelry quality, placement, pressure, sleep, work, sport, follow-up, and the full healing commitment.
What a professional consultation should answer.
Your inspiration matters. Anatomy and safe fit decide what is workable.
What will support healing?
Ask for the exact material, style, finish, size, and whether a professional downsize will be expected.
Can you see safe practice?
Look for sterile single-use needles, packaged instruments, an autoclave, spore testing, sharps disposal, and written aftercare. No piercing guns.
