Genital Piercing Course
After successfully training people over the last eight years in above the waist Piercing, the School is now expanding into the area of below the waist because of the sheer numbers of people who have requested the training.
We are pleased to announce a Fellow of The British Body Piercing Association, Stewart Hirst, will be the trainer for this course.
Prior to becoming a Body Piercer, Stewart worked as a Paramedic for the London Amulance Service and later became a rapid response paramedic motorcyclist. Later he went on to teach future Paramedics.
Coming from a medical background and coupled with his considerable Body Piercing experience, places him in an ideal position to teach Genital Piercing Skills to others.
The projected start date for this course is 25 February 2008.
You will need to demonstrate that you have been performing above the waist Piercing for a minimum of one year before embarking on the genital Piercing course, or you can take part in our above the waist course first.
