Progressive Piercing Techniques: Instructed by Ryan Ouellette of Precision Body Arts. Nashua, New Hampshire.
This year we’ll focus on freehand piercing and how to adapt different techniques for multiple piercings. Live demonstration will be used wherever possible to show different methods of performing a piercing with minimal or zero tools. Freehand piercing can increase productivity in a shop by reducing the amount of dirty tools that need to be re-sterilized. You can also learn to increase accuracy while reducing tissue damage, this will aide in speedier healing and happier clients.
