Secondly, reprocessing tools leaves little room for human error. Because the process is so important, most piercing studios take exceptional steps to prevent the possibility of mistakes happening. Of course, no system is perfect. Our opinion was that eliminating the risk of a piercer or apprentice making a mistake altogether was the smartest approach for our client’s safety.

Finally, we had to take a really serious look at the environmental impact of a disposable piercing studio versus a piercing studio that reprocessed equipment. We understood that “disposable” has a certain connotation of environmental damage. That said, when we compared throwing away a piercing clamp from time to time versus the use of water, plastic, chemicals, personal protective equipment, and electricity that reprocessing involves - we felt the environmental choice was clear. In this rare instance, disposable meant less waste, not more.

A tool that is used once and disposed of is simply safer for our clients and our piercers. Since we put safety as our number one priority, being a disposable piercing studio was the logical conclusion.
