if you go to express yourself and cowpoke (high end) piercing studios, the piercers there most likely went to piercing schools and seminars in the past…wich handed out proof of attendence and certificates proving they completed the course. not that they are a professional piercer. im almost positive. just go to a shop and ask for an apprenticeship. ---

divinee machine only has one piercer and the owner doesnt involve himself in piercing too much. i would doubt they would take you in but you would proly have to talk to the piercer directly and not to corey.
