What is an apprentice piercer?

Apprentice piercers are individuals who are in training to become professional body piercers. They typically work under the supervision of an experienced piercer in a licensed studio, learning about safe piercing techniques, sterilization, anatomy, and aftercare. Apprenticeships usually last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, during which the apprentice gains hands-on experience and knowledge before working independently. The goal is to ensure apprentice piercers are well-trained in both technical skills and client safety.
