 Tapers are used to quickly and somewhat painfully stretch piercings. Talons and crescents are a slower and less painful way to stretch. |
 Assorted O rings are used to hold on some kinds of jewelry. |
 Immediate disposal of used needles into a sharps container is standard procedure. |
 An advanced technique is for the piercer to hold the jewelry pieces in the recessive hand as shown, so they can be retrieved immediately without turning from the client. |
 A septum clamp close up. |
 A dermal punch creates a large initial hole by removing a disk of skin unlike a needle that cuts a crescent shaped hole and pushes the plug to one side within the piercing. |
 Proper trajectory is essential for the piercing to be straight, practicing on a sponge with a toothpick improves this skill. |
 Plastic forceps are single use disposeable and are sometimes included in "Do-It-Yourself" piercing kits. |
 Proper glove size, and jewelry length as well as diameter are important. |
 A good set of ball holders can be very helpful in getting the bead or ball in place. |
