5) Do I need any other classes or certifications to start piercing? No, this is the only class that you need to take to start PRACTICING in the State of Florida. However, this class does not teach you how to pierce. It goes over all of the rules and regulations regarding body piercing and biomedical waste in the state of Florida. You WILL still need to do a proper apprenticeship in order to learn how to perform body piercings.

7) I have been piercing for 20 years in another state. Do I have to take this class? Yes, this class is Florida Specific. You must take this class before you can start piercing in Florida.

8) Can I do the initial body piercing class online? No, you must take the initial body piercing class in person. The refresher class can be done online at www.BodyArt.Training You must have an initial certificate in order to qualify to take the refresher class.
