- Body Piercing Apprenticeship-
Apprenticeships are an important part of entering the body piercing industry. This is how people learn the craft over time and gain experience. A good apprentice born from a high quality studio will blossom into an ambassador for the entire body piercing community.
It’s important to seek the studio and practitioner that meets the standards, quality, and direction that you want to achieve as a piercer. Ultimately, you will, be a product of your environment.
A common problem we have seen numerous times with piercers applying for a position at our studio is a poor foundation. Their core knowledge and experience don’t align with the standards we have. This would involve extensive re-training and unlearning bad habits. This can be a lot of work for both parties.
Here at Prysm, we find it critical that a potential apprentice would start at our studio as customer. It’s great to know what type of experience we provide for our clients. Get to know our staff and be a familiar face at the studio. Learn about our studio’s history, standards, what separates us from other studios/piercers. Analyze and compare this information to other mentors you consider, in relation to YOUR values. Make sure this is the direction you want to go.
From there, apply for a job. Be it FOH (front of house), BOH (back of house), or another general position at the studio. This position is ideal to evolve into a body piercing apprenticeship. When applying for a job, you will need a resume and a letter of intent. We want to know what you’re seeking, in employment here.
-The Apprenticeship-
At Prysm we view body piercing as a career, not a job. A body piercing apprenticeship is a 2 year+ investment. All body piercing would be covered (including surface and genital piercing). It takes a lot of time and dedication to learn this craft to a fully competent level. We follow a comprehensive curriculum outline, with training goals and milestones.
Completion of this program would give you the skills and knowledge to not only continue employment at Prysm, but evolve and grow into all aspects of the industry. The learning doesn’t stop there… We require all our staff to attend continued education seminars, conferences and classes each year. It’s through this ‘always learning’ attitude that we continue to provide the very best for our clients.
Below is a link to the APP (association of professional piercers) guidelines and curriculum to give you an idea of what a body piercing apprenticeship can look like. Within that, they have additional links to books and publications to help you explore the history and gain awareness of the industry.
