No experience is required. Our Beginner Piercing Course is designed for complete beginners. Whether you're brand new to the industry or already working in beauty, we'll teach you the fundamentals needed to begin performing piercings safely and professionally.

Yes — with practice and continued application. During the course, you'll learn proper safety protocols, anatomy, jewelry selection, placement, and piercing techniques before working with live models under instructor supervision. Most students leave feeling confident in the foundational skills needed to begin their piercing journey.

Many of our students work in tattoo shops, piercing studios, beauty businesses, salons, or med spas. Others rent space or start their own businesses. We cover business fundamentals and can help guide you through your next steps after graduation.

Piercing licensing varies by state. In Arizona, there are currently no state regulations, but we teach you the proper safety and sanitation protocols to meet the highest standards. If you plan to work in another state, reach out to your local health department to understand their requirements.

During class, we’ll provide guidance on the best insurance options. We recommend Biberk.com. You can call them, explain your business model, and they’ll advise you on the right coverage for your needs.

You’ll leave the class with everything you need to get started!

Your welcome kit includes: hollow needles, cannula needles, antiseptic lube, forester clamps, tapers, implant grade titanium jewelry, disposables, silicone nose and ear, surgical markers, alcohol wipes, and medical disinfectant spray.

The total investment is $3,399. Payment plans available.

But more importantly, consider the alternative.

For most people, the traditional path into piercing is finding an apprenticeship—something that can take months or even years to secure. Many apprenticeships last 1–2 years, are unpaid, and often involve long periods of observation before you're trusted to take clients.

Our goal is different.

We've built a structured, hands-on program designed to help beginners develop real piercing skills, work on live models under instructor supervision, and leave with the confidence, portfolio, and business knowledge needed to start pursuing paid work as quickly as possible.

For many students, it's not just an investment in a class—it's an investment in starting their career years sooner.

We can't guarantee your success, but we can guarantee our commitment to your success. If you complete the training, practice consistently, and apply what we teach, you'll have the knowledge, skills, and support needed to build a career in piercing.  

The course is completed over 2 days and there is no homework required. Just show up!

Day 1: Approximately 8 hours of hands-on training in a small group setting, with a lunch break. Lunch is not provided, but there are plenty of nearby options.

Day 2: A private 2.5-hour one-on-one session with your instructor, where you'll receive individualized guidance for the live model tattoos.

After the course, your progress is entirely up to you. The more time you dedicate to practicing your skills, the faster you'll improve.

It's all about perspective.

You can invest $3,400 in a structured education that gives you the knowledge, hands-on training, and roadmap to get started or spend years trying to secure an unpaid apprenticeship and if you get one, work for free. 

We teach a proven piercing system focused on safety, precision, proper placement, and client experience.

Beyond technique, our curriculum is designed to give beginners a clear, structured path into the piercing industry without the confusion, gatekeeping, or years of unpaid apprenticeships that have traditionally limited access to professional training.

You'll gain hands-on experience with live models, learn industry best practices, and receive the business guidance needed to confidently begin your career after graduation.

As a student, you'll have access to our team for questions, guidance, and support as you continue developing your piercing skills. Whether you're working through placement decisions, jewelry selection, anatomy considerations, client interactions, troubleshooting common issues, or simply figuring out your next steps in the industry, we're here to help point you in the right direction.
