Face and body piercing can be a safe and enjoyable means of expression when done cleanly, carefully, and expertly by a trained medical practioner. Unfortunately this is the exception. The majority of practioners have little or no training, very limited understanding of anatomy and virtually no understanding of sterile technique. as a result the infection rate for piercings runs higher than 30%. a pretty frightening statistic. Body piercings in particular really need trained hands. Don't risk permanent disfigurement, tissue damage, or loss of sensation or functionality. We are the only REGISTERED NURSE licensed piercer in the metroplex.
