The needle is Sterile and the jewelry is sterile.
This is a big advantage if you can always mention it to your
customers.
Everything should be sterile that enters into the skin.
Liquid disinfection by soaking leaves harmful chemical residues.
You should repeat this to everyone - over and over.
--
The chemical disinfectants most
often used
- if anyone reads the labels - says they are
not to be
used for items that come in contact with skin.
Tell your customer to go see what the competition is doing.
Sterilization can be your key to
survive - not price.
Suggest that jewelry made in areas of the world that
have the highest infectious rates may not have been cleaned and
disinfected.
Jewelry sold in most stores is not
ready for insertion.
There are no warnings that "piercing jewelry must be sterile"
and no way the consumer can do this.
Instructions on a package even to clean are not good enough
to protect the consumer. Body piercing jewelry must be
sterile. The enforceable standard is what is normally done in the
industry - our industry. To do less is negligence.
If they want to leave their jewelry overnight offer to ultrasonic clean
and sterilize for $ 7.50 - $ 10.00. If they want to
wait: $ 25. would not be too much to ask.
Sure, it's not their fault, but they've been duped, misled.
Would it be too much to suggest they go and demand their money back and
threaten a complaint with the health department. The health
and safety of clients has always been the number one priority for
piercers.
If you want to survive the challenges of today you have to do
something, not just sit there.
