Piercing can be a welcome income source for your store, but do be mindful of the associated risks presented by coronavirus transmission.\u00a0A person who is infected but asymptomatic may also have a compromised immune system, so all clients need to take extra care of the post-piercing wound.\u00a0A few key points to note:<\/p>\n

\n
• Both the piercer and client must wear\u00a0masks<\/strong><\/a><\/span>\u00a0and both must sanitise their hands before and after piercing. The piercer can also opt to use single-use\u00a0gloves<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.<\/strong><\/li>\n
• The piercer should sanitise the piercing counter\/surface and chair before and after every ear piercing.<\/li>\n
• Be extremely careful to avoid\u00a0<\/strong>piercing the mask strap<\/strong><\/a><\/span>\u00a0when using the gun.\u00a0<\/strong>One of our suppliers allows their clients to remove the ear elastics and secure the mask over their mouth using their hands so that the elastics are not pierced.<\/li>\n
• Clients should be advised to avoid touching their ears and face after the piercing.<\/li>\n
• Advise your client not\u00a0to take aspirin or anything with aspirin in it as a precursory pain prevention measure, as this can cause them to bleed more than normal.<\/li>\n
• Piercing may not be a good idea for pregnant clients because of the risk of getting an infection.<\/li>\n
• Ensure your staff get your indemnity \/ release forms signed beforehand.<\/li>\n
• Have a policy in place and inform your staff about any possible minimum age requirements for piercings at your store.<\/li>\n
• Only use\u00a0hypoallergenic jewellery like our\u00a0Steri Stud range<\/strong><\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
• Advise your client on proper aftercare for the sake of their health and your reputation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
