My Qualifications

I often get questions about my training, certification, and equipment requirements—here’s everything you need to know!

​​

1. Am I qualified?

✔ Yes! I am an ear piercer who has completed the necessary training, and my studio is inspected and approved by the New Jersey Department of Health.
✔ I am NOT operating under my nursing license—I perform piercings as a trained ear piercer, not as a nurse.
✔ However, my years of nursing experience, along with my training in sterile technique, bloodborne pathogens, and pediatrics, enhance the piercing experience by ensuring a calm, hygienic, and professional approach to ear piercing.

2. Did I Complete an Apprenticeship?

❌ No, because I am not a body piercer.

• In New Jersey, body piercers (who use needles for cartilage and body piercings) must complete an apprenticeship and 1,000+ hours of training.

• However, ear lobe piercing with a medical device does NOT require an apprenticeship. I have completed all necessary training required for ear lobe piercing establishments.

3. Why I Don’t Need an Autoclave

• ❌ My piercing method eliminates the need for an autoclave.

• Autoclaves are used in tattoo and body piercing studios to sterilize reusable tools like needles and forceps.

• My Inverness piercing system earrings are fully enclosed, single-use, and pre-sterilized, meaning:

• Nothing touches the ear except the sterile, pre-encapsulated earring.

• No reusable tools or open needles are used, eliminating the need for re-sterilization.

• Each piercing earring is enclosed in a single-use sterile cartridge, ensuring 100% safety and no cross-contamination risk.

4. Why Choose My Piercing Services?

• ✔ Trained and certified to perform safe, professional ear lobe piercings.
  ✔ Studio follows all New Jersey health department regulations for ear piercing.
  ✔ Use a medical-grade, fda approved  sterile system
  ✔ Offers a safe and gentle alternative to both spring-loaded guns and needle piercings, making it an ideal choice for all ages.
