Body Piercing Training

KTRIC

After many unfulfilling years working in IT I have decided with much thought that I would like to get into body piercing. I have a fair few piercings and am familiar with most proceedures.

Unfortuantly there are no courses running in Ireland and I doubt many studios would like to take me on parttime as I still have to work in my IT job to earn a decent living until the piercing thing takes off.

So my question is where can I learn about piercing in Ireland ??

go to a peircing salon and get your training off them

Snakebite do a 6 year course in piercing, no pay so you'd want to have a nestegg or a sideline.

Apart from the shops that do it, there isn't. Here, the States, and most other places IIRC don't even have a standerd that you must know before you can pierce :eek:

Nope it is a 6 year apprenticeship. If you want to be as good as Steve and the lads there then they reckon that it takes 6 years. I was considering it until I heard the bit about 6 years full time with no pay.
A part-time course would not be good enough.
If you want more information then phone snakebite.

That's crazy, how could I possibly take 6 years off unpaid !!!

Ah boll0x :mad:

Ai that's basically what I said to Steve and he said well it depends on how bad you want it.

I am hoping to do it very soon.. just have to save up enough to keep me going for the next 6 years...

the only thing is they all don't take people on.. snake bite said they arent at this point in time..

there is always a night job

6 year apprenticeship is the most stupid thing i have ever heard.
You could be a qualified doctor opening up people in the that time...

i heard its only 2 years off them and you just go on the dole for money

its not six years,its only 2 and it is unpaid,
but you dont go on the books so you can go on the dole while doing it, but you'd have to really really want to do it if you're willing to go two years unpaid

I've been in touch with Snakebite as they are my first preference and Rob said that they are not taking on aprentices at the moment.

There's a piercing school called body morphosis in London. They do courses that last a week but one course might say cover facial piercings so you'd have to do several before you could actually set yourself up as a piercer with all the neccesary skills. trainees practise on each other and on members of the public loking for a cheap piercing a bit like a hair dressing college
