Paride flew in from Northern Italy like a man on a mission. He had decided to leave Italy and was coming England to begin a career as a professional body piercer. Though Paride had worked as an apprentice in a piercing facility in Italy for over a year, he had little, if any practical piercing experience. Paride selected Pierce Artist as his training provider and opted for our most indepth course, the 12 day Apprentice Package.

During that time Paride pierced over 50 people, worked at the training facility as a junior to Senior Piercer Tracy Perkins, greeted customers, organised product mail outs, processed jewellery orders and generally did everything you would expect from a seasoned staff member.

   
     
Full Name: Paride Maria Calvia. Job Title: Body Piercer. Country of Origin: Italy. Age: 18
What did you do before body piercing: I have had many jobs, I have been a shop assistant, a porter and a local promoting assistant.
When did you decide you wanted to be a piercer: I had my first piercing 4 years ago, after the piercing I knew I wanted to be a professional body piercer.
Why did you want to become a piercer: I have always loved the different forms of body modification. I see piercing as a genuine art form.
How did you hear about Pierce Artist: I first found out about Pierce Artist by surfing the net. I found their website after reading through the information, I knew that this was the company that I was going to be trained by.
What is the piercing scene like in your home town: Piercing has become very fashionable with young people, it has become the new trend.
Why did you choose pierce Artist as your training provider: After having a careful look around and communicating with Pierce Artist I viewed that they were the best training centre available.
How did you find the 12 day course: I have been an apprentice piercer in Italy for over a year and, i think I've learned more in the twelve days than I learnt over the period of my apprenticeship.
You did the surface piercing course. What were your thoughts on it. Tracy teaches total freehand piercing for the surface course. I really enjoyed it.
What was the most important thing you needed to leave with to call the training a success: I wanted to learn the best skills from the very best teacher Europe. I think piercing is a skill that cannot be simply tested without someone with the proper knowledge guiding you through the whole process. The training was a complete success.
Were your goals met by the course: Yes.
How did you find the teaching techniques of Tracy Perkins: Absolutely perfect, perfect at teaching, perfect at piercing. She finds the best way to teach you everything!
What was it like piercing for the first time. Ahhhh, I found it beautiful to pierce for the first time knowing exactly what I was doing!
What piercing did you most enjoy and which piercing did you find the most difficult: I really enjoyed everything on this course. By the time I began piercing, Tracy had taught me everything so well, that I didn't really find any piercing more difficult than other.
How was it using the Pierce Artist toolset. Practical and very useful.
Did you feel that you have enough knowledge to begin piercing professionally. After my previous year long apprenticeship and this additional training. I'm really ready!
What are you going to do now: I have moved to London and and now looking for work as a body piercer.
How do you see your future as a body piercer: Perfect! hahahaha
As a person who had never pierced anyone before. What advice would you give to anyone in your position, looking to get into body piercing. I think body piercing is like maths, you need a solid basis and lot and lots of practice.
Many people have said it is not possible to get a person piercing well in the period of time that it took you. What would you say to these people. I can only say that this course gives you the best foundation to start piercing and that's all you need to get into this job!
