FIND OUT ABOUT US AND HOW OUR EXPERIENCE CAN HELP YOU GET
A FAST START IN THE PIERCING INDUSTRY
The TATTOO BODY
PIERCING INSTITUTE is proud to introduce the T.B.P.I. Piercing Instructors:
Jerry & Debbie
Frederick
Who are we? Why should you believe we know what we are doing
in the body piercing industry? Do we actually pierce? What type of training
do we have?
All Good Questions: My name is Jerry Frederick. Debbie, my wife and business
partner, have been piercing and operating our body piercing business for
11 years. That equates to 22 years of combined experience, since Debbie's
piercing experiences are different from mine.We both attended the Gauntlet
Training Seminars (basic and advanced) in San Francisco at the beginning
of our careers. Other than that we watched the Gauntlet Piercing Videos and
tried to do the piercing the same way. Our body piercing business has become
very successful and we continue to carry a full piercing schedule every week.
During our 11 years of piercing we have personally performed well over 35,000
piercings. We operate a high volume piercing studio. The most important statistic
in our studio is that 87% of our business comes from repeat clients and referrals
from those clients. This is a staggering figure and it is important to you
because it tells you: OUR PIERCING TECHNIQUES WORK - OUR PROFESSIONALISM
IN THE PIERCING ROOM WORKS - OUR AFTERCARE PROGRAM AND FOLLOW-UP WORKS. It
works for us and we can show you how it can work for you! The time we have
spent in the piercing industry can be YOUR biggest asset with this training
program. If you will use our experience it can save you years of trial and
error. That opportunity is extremely valuable to YOU!
HOW
TO DOES A BODY ART COURSE from TBPI WORK?
The best body piercing training is with a skilled mentor that takes you by
the hand and shows you all the body piercing skills you need to know for
the time necessary for you to become totally competent. If you have a chance
to do that, we highly recommend you take advantage of the opportunity.
The Association of Professional Piercers is a very valuable body piercing
educational resource. We suggest you use the resource. However, even the
Association does not address “how to pierce”. It does not offer
mentoring or apprenticeship programs, or EVEN ENCOURAGE ITS MEMBERS TO DO
SO! The next best thing is to learn at your own pace from other experienced
piercers. Body Piercing Remains A Skill That Must Be Past On From One Piercer
To Another Piercer. This is your opportunity to take advantage of our body
piercing training experience.

The Art Of Body Piercing Speak And Bedside
Manner
What you say, how you say it, and when you say
it is the absolute FIRST thing you should learn as a body piercer.
Your words can cost you money, confidence, and reputation. You words
can trap you into a corner, in which you cannot get out. Or your words
can build confidence, prestige and assure your financial future in body
piercing.
This module is a frank discussion of what to
say, how to say it and when to say it. Your body piercing career will
be in your hands, if you can master how to speak with your clients-- at the
front counter and in the piercing room. Bedside manner will supply
you with more repeat and referral customers than any other skill you
possess.
RATING: This
module is very important for BEGINNERS, INTERMEDIATE & ADVANCED
PIERCERS.
Sample Body Piercing Forms, Releases, and
Aftercare Suggestions
Every body piercer must have forms and
releases to operate successfully in the body piercing industry.
This module provides you with the forms necessary to
operate a successful and responsible body piercing business.
Each sample form is made into a Microsoft Word
Document so you can edit the form for your specific purposes. These
forms and releases are for educational purposes only, and should be reviewed
by your business advisors before adopting as is.
The sample forms include business operating
forms-- adult, minor, apprentice, jewelry insertion/removal release forms--all
piercing aftercare suggestion forms.
RATING:
Invaluable to BEGINNERS, INTERMEDIATE OR ADVANCED piercers
who may need a complete supply of these type of forms.
Startup Cost For Jewelry and Medical
Supplies
The startup jewelry package is a list of the
bare jewelry necessities you will need to start body piercing. All
jewelry is ASTM 316LVM (F-138) quality implant steel. This list contains
two suggested packages, one for $200 and the other is $300. This is
NOT A KIT. It is a list of the highest quality jewelry you will need
to start piercing and where you can get it.
The medical supply list contains a list of medical
piercing supplies and you will need to operate a body piercing business.
It is a list of the item, quantity and approximate cost of the
items. This is not a list of office expenses you will encounter
to start or operate your body piercing business ( pens, copiers, faxes,
desks, rent etc.). Those things vary with geographical region.
You would have a much better handle on those expenses than anyone else.
This list of supplies and cost is specifically about piercing medical
supplies. This is the hardest list for someone who has not been in the
piercing business to come up with.
RATING:
BEGINNERS and those anticipating a body piercing business
startup.
Online Mastermind Mentoring
Program
The online mastermind mentoring program is an
alliance of members dedicated to creating an informative environment to learn
body piercing and network from each other. It gives each member the
opportunity to customize their unique mastermind display page, to add their
personal message to their page and inform the entire mastermind group
of:
-
Who You Are (A short Bio)
-
What You Do
-
What Body Piercing Information You Want To Get
Out of the Program
-
Your Picture (optional) For A More Personal
Environment For Other Piercers
The best way to learn body piercing and the
business of body piercing is FROM EACH OTHER. The online mastermind mentoring
program is the best way for each member to keep in touch with other members
so they can ask questions and network. This is your opportunity to
ask questions about any body piercing subject. You will get answers
from other members of the mastermind group.
Since you will know the bio of each member and
hopefully each member will submit their picture, you will develop lasting
friendships and business acquaintances. It is up to each participant
to create a body piercing community with the MasterMind Program.
RATING:
BEGINNERS, INTERMEDIATE, ADVANCED, CONSULTANTS,
VENDORS
Aseptic Technique and Blood Borne Pathogens
Testing
As a body piercer you must know Aseptic
Technique. Aseptic technique refers to the practices performed immediately
before, during and after a clinical procedure to reduce post-piercing
infection. If
you do not know and practice these procedures, you cannot provide your clients
with a safe, clean environment. In other words, you a NOT a safe
piercer.
You should
also be trained in blood borne pathogens and CPR each year. This module
discusses aseptic technique so you know what it is and how to practice it.
In addition it provides you with resources to get blood borne pathogen and
CPR training if those resources are not available to you.
RATING:
BEGINNERS and anyone who needs brushing up on these
topics
Selecting
Jewelry Sizes and Gauges & Important
Charts
Selecting
the proper jewelry for each piercing is the key to successful healing.
Most healing problems occur because the jewelry is inappropriate for the
piercing. The most glaring mistake piercers make is incorrect length
or diameter of jewelry. This module if a list of piercings and
the jewelry choices for each piercing.
In addition,
this module contains important charts such as the conversion of fractions,
and gauge, inch to millimeter conversion chart, inch fractions to millimeter
conversion chart. If you don't know these measurements you cannot function
in the body piercing industry.
RATING:
BEGINNERS and anybody having excessive healing
problems.
Business
Forms and Software

operate a body piercing business, you must have accurate records of your
day to day operations. These forms are on excel spreadsheets so you
can use them as interactive business forms. The software combines all
excel forms into a lateral file so you can keep all your information in one
place, and it is flexible so you can change the formulas to fit your specific
needs.

8
videos includes the following
to help you get that fast start. This is your opportunity to

doing it by practicing it over and over again until you master it.
Sterilization Methods & Techniques
Video
Working off a sterile field is an extremely
important aseptic technique to learn, and in this video you will learn how
to create one. This video shows you how to bag your piercing tools,
marking, and cleaning items so you can achieve a sterile field to work from
in the piercing room. In addition you will see a great way to store
your jewelry. This method allows you to economically use your
jewelry resources by disassembling your jewelry and storing it in
parts.
Piercing Tools & Their
Use
When you begin your piercing career, you must
have a complete command of piercing tools, and what they are used for.
This video goes over all the piercing tools, spreaders, tapers, and pliers
you will need and what they are used for in your piercing career.
How To Use Calipers For
Measuring
To execute an accurate piercing you must measure
it properly. The best way to measure it accurately is with a dial
caliper. This video show you how to measure and mark with a dial
caliper.
How To Measure & Mark Your
Piercings
Now that you know to use a caliper to measure
and mark your piercings, you will need to apply that knowledge to select
the proper jewelry, and making the proper marks for the piercing. We
demonstrate how to measure the piercing and how to choose the dimensions
of the jewelry appropriate for that piercing. It doesn't get more
fundamental than this. If you do not know the material on this video
you will not last long in the piercing business.
A Bio-Hazard Room Setup
If you are a new piercer, a bio-hazard
room is an area where you process your dirty piercing items and tools after
a piercing. The piercing items are processed from dirty to sterile
in this room and the object of this process it to avoid cross-contamination
of your sterile items. This very important video shows how you can
set-up a methodical process to avoid cross-contamination in your bio-hazard
room.. If you do not know how to properly setup a bio-hazard room,
this video is a must for excellent suggestions.
Using A Practice Board For Mock
Piercings
When you are new, it is very hard to find someone
to practice piercing on. This video shows you how to build a piercing
practice board so you can practice piercing without a human being to practice
on. Excellent way to develop you piercing skills.
Practice Piercing Angles
In practically every piercing you must deal
with an angle. This video teaches you how to practice your angles and
make your needle come out where you expect it to come out. Not knowing
how to hit the proper exit mark is why you see many piercing either too shallow
or too deep.
How To Avoid A Sore Finger
It takes a lot of practice before you begin
piercing on a person. That practice can make you finger very sore.
This video shows you how to take care of that sore finger while toughening
up your finger.
RATING:
BEGINNERS for sure, and anyone who needs some or all of this
information!
Ear
Piercings (All Areas of the
Ear) - 23 On Demand
Online Videos
WOW, ear piercings are becoming much more
popular. Creative ear piercing is a great way to increase your body
piercing business and create a new profit center. When employers get tough
on facial piercings, it is harder for them to crack down on ear piercings.
In addition, new ear jewelry is becoming less expensive and more
available. There are many more options with the new "micro labret studs"
with gem ends for the tragus, cartilage, and lobe piercings.
Learn how to pierce every area of the ear. You
will view the following piercings in this video:
Lobes, Orbital, Cartilage, Tragus, Dbl. Tragus,
Quadruple Tragus, Conch, Conch Stretch, Single and Double Industrials on
Same Side, Anti Helix, and Helix
We explain each piercing in detail. I perform
piercings one way and Debbie does some differently. This really gives you
an advantage of seeing different piercing techniques on the same
piercing.
RATING:
BEGINNERS & INTERMEDIATE PIERCERS--Some of these piercings
are advanced simply because of the difficulty of getting to the part of the
ear to pierce and successfully inserting the jewelry. If you don't
believe me, try to do some of the inner ear piercings avoiding piercing them
too shallow and missing your transfer.
Nipples (Male
& Female) - 13
On Demand Online
Videos
Learning how to correctly mark and pierce nipples
is a must for every piercer. Manipulating the nipple in an appropriate
way to avoid excessive movement is an important technique you will learn
in this video.
This video is 30 minutes long with 20 nipple
piercings. You will learn how to pierce a male nipple without getting it
too deep. This video also demonstrates the proper piercing of a male inverted
nipple. We also show you how to match up a botched piercing and make the
other nipple piercing look like they were both intended to be pierced that
way.
Many people are interested in the female vertical
nipple piercing. We demonstrate this piercing technique as well as the female
cross nipple piercing.
RATING:
INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED
Navel
Piercings - 19 On Demand
Online Videos
The navel piercing video covers more than 20
navel piercings. It takes you from start to finish. You will see how to mark
the many different types of navels. In your studio you will get many different
types of navels from the ultra skinny “Donut Navel”, to the complex
“Deep Sloping Navel”. You will observe the marking and piercing
of these navel piercings while we discuss what we are doing as we do
it.
You will also see advanced navel piercings.
Correct marking on multiple navel piercings is vital to a successful piercing.
You will see-- and we will discuss:
-
The marking and piercing of a top and bottom
navel piercing
-
A triple across the top navel
piercing
-
Four piercings around the navel.
Let's be frank, navel piercings are the backbone
of most piercing studios. The navel piercing is the most performed
piercing, and the piercing with the most healing problems. Most
of those healing problems occur because of inappropriate jewelry selection
for the piercing. Most piercers either pierce too much or too little
tissue. The vast majority of healing problems I see are because the
piercer pierced TOO MUCH tissue, and inserted TOO SMALL a diameter of jewelry
into the piercing.
RATING:
BEGINNER AND INTERMEDIATE PIERCERS-- plus anyone having navel
healing problems.
Surface To Surface
Piercings - On Demand
Online Video
Surface to surface piercings are becoming more
popular with the better design of jewelry for this piercing allowing more
successful healing. You will see examples of the nape, valley, wrist
and navel surface to surface piercings. If you master these piercings
you can do any surface piercing. The key is learning how to mark the
piercing for the unique surface barbell. You may want to do the
free-hand piercing or pierce it with a clamp. You will see both.
Watch how to successfully insert jewelry into this difficult
piercing.
RATING:
INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED PIERCERS
Genital Piercing Videos (Male &
Female)
This video is very helpful to you with
our discussions of the placement of genital piercings. You will see specific
diagrams to give you clear view of the proper placement.
We perform many piercings in this video. You
will see and hear us discuss the following piercings:
RATING:
INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED PIERCERS
Tongue
Piercing - 6 On Demand
Online Videos
The tongue piercing video demonstrates how to
mark the tongue for piercing. You will see a very educational diagram
of the tongue showing the placement of nerves in the tongue. In addition
you will see how to observe the placement of veins in the bottom of the
tongue. You will readily see why the tongue is pierced where it is
and how potentially dangerous piercing the tongue in the wrong place can
be. Many piercers are afraid to pierce a short tongue. You will
see how it is done along with a discussion of the jewelry selection for a
short tongue. Multiple tongue piercings are also
demonstrated.
RATING:
BEGINNER AND INTERMEDIATE PIERCING
Labret, Beauty Mark &
Lip - 5 On Demand
Online Videos
The lip piercings in the video are done with
rings. The labret piercings are done with a labret stud.
We demonstrate how to do single and double lip piercings. You will
see the piercings perfromed inside out and outside in. We do the labret
piercings from both angles, inside out and outside in. Again,
once you see the two methods performed you can decide which way is best for
you.
The beauty mark video is the best demonstration
of how to mark, line up and pierce I have ever seen. You will see exactly
how to analyze the marking in relation to the lip, cheek and eye. This
is a piercing that is stunning if done properly. Then you will see
how to line up your needle from the left side and the right side.
The procedure is different depending on which side you are piercing.
If you do not get this piecing lined up correctly it will look horrible,
and you do not want people walking around with a botched beauty mark on their
upper lip.
RATING:
BEGINNER, INTERMEDIATE & Anyone Who Needs A
Refresher-particularly on the beauty mark, since so many females are getting
that piercing.
Nostril, Eyebrow
& Septum - 15 On Demand Online
Videos
Bending a nostril screw correctly can be easily
mastered. We demonstrate exactly how to bend the nostril screw for
the LEFT and RIGHT nostril. The nostril screw is bent differently
for each side of the nose. The nostril is becoming almost as popular
a piercing as the navel, so it is important to know how to perform a great
nostril piercing.
Many piercings can be performed different
ways. The eyebrow is a great example of a piercing that can be done
two different ways. You will see me do the eyebrow piercing freehand,
and Debbie does it with a clamp. You will see both performed and then
you can decide with style is best for you. We do all the marking and
measuring of the eyebrow for you to see, as well as a double eyebrow piercing
and marking.
The septum piercing can be performed either
freehand or with a clamp. Debbie demonstrates the freehand method and
I demonstrate the clamp mehod. This is a piercing that can eat your
lunch if you do not know how to do it.
RATING:
BEGINNER, INTERMEDIATE & Anyone wanting to learn a different
method of performing these piercings.
Are you going to take the first step to
