P.B.J. Piercer Training Program

Pacific Body Jewellery has been a front runner in professional training programs for aestheticians, tattooists and other persons wishing to learn the fine art of body piercing in a comprehensive and cost effective manner. Many shops wish to add body piercing to their line of services currently provided. Hiring someone off the street who claims to be a body piercer is not always the best and safest way to go. Learning the profession in a one on one training seminar is the only way to effectively learn the craft with the care and attention placed on safety and hygiene. Not one of our students has left without a wealth of information and ongoing professional assistance available to them 7 days a week.

Our training program is geared to operating P.S.E's in British Columbia and every Province across Canada. We understand your need to be at your shop to keep and eye on things and this is how our on-site training makes the difference, you learn in your shop, in your environment. We will assist you through the process of compliance with health regulations, inspection requirements and equipment allocation. Every facility we have trained has increased their income by taking our training program and included body piercing to their service lists. We do not train anyone who is not working in a licensed Personal Services Facility. To ensure public safety all individuals wishing to learn body piercing must be working in a duly licensed and inspected shop and be over the age of 19 years.

Our students are certified body piercers, backed by our senior piercers years of experience and knowledge of the craft and industry as a whole. We want to see you succeed in your desires and the only way to get what you want is to learn from an experienced professional piercer from Pacific Body Jewellery.

Learn while you earn. Our on-site training seminar pays for itself. While you are learning to pierce you earn cash from the models you book for the piercings, this allows you to get 50% of your training fee back during the seminar and helps you build a clientele base. This is great for new piercing facilities or additions to an existing business. Call or e-mail us for more information on this specialized training program.
