Is Your Body Piercer an APP Member?

Whether you’re brand new to body piercings or already have three or 10 of them, you should always have body modification of any kind done by a professional in the piercing industry. And although it isn’t a requirement, an APP Member agrees to uphold high levels of hygiene and safety, and to use only quality jewelry in fresh piercings. APP Membership is an indication that the piercer pursues continued education and has been vetted by the organization that cares about the art and safety of body modification.

What is the APP? 
The Association of Professional Piercers is a voluntary health and safety organization for the body piercing industry. They provide educational access to members in the areas of proper sterilization, safe piercing environments, quality jewelry, and a code of conduct to uphold professionalism and non-discrimination.

Don’t be afraid to ask a potential piercer questions about their studio set-up. When scheduling your appointment or during your consultation, ask questions like is their studio set up to provide safe body piercing? If the piercing studio is inside of a tattoo shop, is the room separated? Do they use a medical-grade autoclave to sterilize body modification instruments? Do they use a sharps container (a red marked box to dispose of needles and biohazard materials)? Does the shop look clean? Are they using quality jewelry that is medically and scientifically proven safe to put in the body? 

While the APP doesn’t license or certify piercers, they do provide their members with a certificate of membership which must be renewed each year. The certificates of all APP Members working as piercers in the shop should have their certificates posted on the wall behind the counter. These certificates are printed in a vertical format, while certificates of APP health and safety seminars are printed in a horizontal format. The APP also provides resources for piercers, like the APP Health and Safety Procedure Manual, online courses, suggested apprenticeship guidelines & curriculum, and other publications.

Any reputable piercer should be open and honest with you about their safety procedures, as well as their experience and continuing health and safety training. They should be willing to provide a consultation to inspect your anatomy, discuss jewelry options, the procedure itself, potential risks and possible complications, the overall healing process, and aftercare instructions. If they don’t do any of this before taking your money, or you are not impressed with their qualifications, think twice about having them do any kind of body modification on you. 

As an APP studio, Master Pierce takes the time and makes the effort to fulfill all these obligations and more. Maintaining standards for body jewelry and client care are our number one concern. Frequently, our piercers find themselves answering every single question the client has before, after, and during the procedure.

Studio integrity is taken extremely seriously, and every piercer is held to the highest standard at Master Pierce. In doing so, clients know they can always trust us.

    After sifting through numerous comments and experiences shared by others, I found a mix of reactions—some deeply painful and others somewhat amusing. The overarching realization from these accounts is that many individuals still fall victim to scams simply because they fail to read between the lines. I can personally relate to this, as I, too, was once ensnared by a fraudulent scheme.My own experience with scams was a harsh lesson in the importance of due diligence. After losing a substantial amount of money to a fake investment, I was left disillusioned and desperate to recover my funds. It was during this tumultuous period that I found an unlikely ally: a resident hacker who helped me recover a significant portion of my lost assets. While the recovery rate wasn’t perfect—about 70%—it was a substantial improvement over my initial losses and a beacon of hope amid the despair.One of the most crucial takeaways from my experience is the value of expert vetting before making any investment, particularly in the volatile world of cryptocurrency. This is where Cyberpunk Programmers came into play. They have become an indispensable resource for me, offering expert advice and thorough evaluations of potential Bitcoin investments. Their role is crucial: they either give the green light for an investment or warn me against it based on their assessment of its legitimacy.The truth is that identifying a Bitcoin scam often requires specialized knowledge—knowledge that only a seasoned hacker or cybersecurity expert might possess. In the digital age, where scams and fraudulent schemes are increasingly sophisticated, having a reliable hacker on your side can make a significant difference. Just as people rely on family doctors or lawyers for their expertise, it’s becoming increasingly important to have a trustworthy hacker to safeguard your financial interests.The idea might seem unconventional to some, but having a hacker on retainer is akin to having an insurance policy against cyber fraud. These professionals have the skills and tools to detect red flags that may elude the average investor. They can help you navigate the complex landscape of cryptocurrency investments, ensuring that you don’t fall prey to the latest scams or fraudulent schemes. Cyberpunk Programmers has proven to be more than just a recovery service for me; they are a trusted advisor in the realm of digital finance. Their guidance has been invaluable in avoiding risky investments and potential scams. Their expertise provides a level of security and confidence that is crucial when dealing with the often unpredictable world of cryptocurrencies. while the digital world presents numerous opportunities, it also harbors significant risks, especially in areas like Bitcoin investments.

    I was introduced to crypto trading by a friend I met on Instagram who has since vanished and left me clueless on how to recover my BTC from a website called OEXBAKE. com. I managed to make it just by virtue of learning. I made out a whopping £409,809 worth of BTC in total. They refused to let me withdraw into my wallet in Coinbase by saying I need to prepare 10% of the totality of the assets in my wallet I want to receive and transfer to a one-time address that will be provided to me. They promised to allow the relevant transfer once they received it. I did that but they came up with another story, then I knew I was in for a mess, I did my research and decided to reach out to HACKWEST@WRITEME.COM. After a few days, Hack West recovered about 3.83 Bitcoin back to my wallet. I am grateful to West and his team and encourage everyone in similar situations to reach out to them.
