What is a piercing seminar? And is it good training for a piercer?
It’s just that, a seminar, nothing more. They can range from 1 day to 2 weeks. Some are worthless and some are quite informative, interesting, and fun. But they are NEVER to be considered piercer training. They are simply a seminar meant to accompany full and appropriate training. There are salons who do fancy advertising that they’re seminar trained, they fool you by making this appear as a good thing, but unfortunately in most cases it really means they have no training other than a seminar which is incredibly dangerous. It’s impossible to be trained as a piercer by a seminar alone. Be especially careful of this deceitful practice. Seminars are wonderful accompaniments to a full apprenticeship.
