Does the shop reuse needles?
This is one of the most important things you MUST check. Does the studio resterilize used needles? Make sure you see the piercer place the used needle in a sharps container. NEVER let a piercer use a needle on you that was soaked in a liquid. All needles should be in individual packages and should be opened while you are present. Does the studio seem clean? Check it out! Is the piercing studio immaculate: the walls washed, carpet vacuumed? Is the staff bathed and neat? Is the restroom kept clean and tidy? If you feel they are not, walk out! Every good studio should have 5 separate areas: the counter, waiting room, piercing room(s), bathroom, and a separate sterilization room. Ask your friends where they got pierced. Here are a few questions you should consider: Does their piercing look like a piercing you would want? Did they have any problems or infection during healing? Was the staff at the piercing studio able to help them if they had any complications? Would they get pierced there
