Know What You Are Doing
Know What You Are Doing--You're Liable
If you are in the business of body piercing, you are subject to personal liability from your actions and words.
Learn how to avoid being "boxed-in" or "cornered" by a client. What you say and how you say it is extremely important. Talking in absolute terms is a NO-NO. It is advisable to discuss body piercings with your clients using general terms. The more specific and absolute you talk with your clients the more risk you assume.
Body Piercing is a body of work that does NOT have a long recorded history. You cannot go on past precedent, to justify current conditions (the piercing you just performed). Therefore, when you talk in absolutes, you can really get caught in a corner.
In the operation of your business (body piercing) you are putting the general public (your clients) at risk by performing invasive procedures on their bodies (body piercing and inserting body jewelry).
You are expected to know what you are doing. If you don't know what you are doing you can be held accountable for your actions with serious consequences. Saying that you did not know better is not a defense. You should have known better before you put your client at risk.
If you need training in body piercing you better find it.
