    Hi Guys,

    Apologies if this thread has need posted before was looking for the info and couldn’t find it.

    I love piercing and would like to get into it as a profession, but have no idea where to start. Would it be a case of doing some sort of course and getting an apprenticeship?

    Go on the dole and then hang out in a studio being they're bitch and they might take you on eventually. Its a tried and tested manner to go about it.

    what hes saying in a round about way is true.
    there are courses (expensive, not certified, waste of money, i was asked to pay €2,000 for 3weeks!) but they wont help. best thing to do is basically ask around, try get to know the piercers then ask if theyl take you on.
    you more than likely wont get paid and as emmet said you will be theire b!tch
