Piercing Training in Istanbul

Hands-on piercing training in Bakırköy: silicone models, correct placement, jewellery sizing, aftercare standards, and certificate.

Piercing Training in Istanbul: 2 Full Days of Hands-On Full Body Piercing | Tattoo Master Bakırköy

Piercing looks simple from the outside: a mark, a needle, a piece of jewellery, and it’s done. In real studio work, the result depends on what happens before and after the puncture. A controlled sterile setup, accurate placement, correct jewellery choice and sizing, clear aftercare instructions, and early recognition of abnormal healing signs are what separate consistent, professional outcomes from random results.

The 2-day hands-on full body piercing training at Tattoo Master Bakırköy is designed for people who want a structured entry into the field or who want to add piercing to their service set with a professional workflow. The program combines a clear theoretical foundation with intensive practice on silicone models, so you build repeatable habits rather than memorising isolated tips.

Training objective

This program is built around one goal: to help you establish a safe, repeatable studio workflow that you can apply across different body areas. By the end of the training, the target outcomes include:

  • Sterile workflow discipline: preparing the workstation, maintaining clean/dirty separation, and closing the procedure properly.
  • Placement logic: marking, symmetry, entry/exit line control, and region-specific angle considerations.
  • Tool and consumable control: correct handling and consistent process order to minimise contamination risks.
  • Jewellery choice and sizing: material awareness, gauge/diameter/length decisions, and region-appropriate jewellery forms.
  • Aftercare standards: giving clear written instructions and building a follow-up mindset.
  • Complication awareness: recognising normal healing patterns versus warning signs and responding with appropriate professional guidance.
  • Client communication and records: informed consent approach, eligibility screening, and process transparency.

Program format and schedule options

Daytime format: 2 full days

The standard format runs for 2 full days, typically between 12:00–18:00. Day 1 focuses on building core standards and consistency; Day 2 expands into broader regions, scenario work, and workflow reinforcement through structured repetition.

Evening format for working candidates

For candidates who cannot attend the daytime format, an alternative option is available: 4 evenings, typically between 19:00–23:00. The learning outcomes remain the same; the time structure is modular.

Full body scope: what “full body” means in practice

Full body training is not about rushing through a long list. It is about learning how technique, tissue behaviour, and jewellery decisions change across regions. Throughout the program, practice is carried out on silicone models covering:

  • Ear
  • Nose
  • Eyebrow
  • Lip
  • Tongue
  • Navel
  • Chest

Where applicable to the course scope, the training also addresses dermal and intimate/“special area” applications within a professional frame: eligibility screening, consent discipline, privacy, risk boundaries, and post-procedure communication. These topics are handled with the seriousness required for real studio practice.

How the training progresses

1) Theoretical backbone: decisions, not memorisation

The theory component is designed to support correct decisions during practice. Topics include:

  • Industry workflow standards and quality mindset
  • Material awareness and jewellery fundamentals
  • Types of piercings and region-specific technique differences
  • Marking, symmetry, and placement control
  • Sterile setup principles and contamination risk management
  • Aftercare protocols and client instruction standards
  • Complication awareness and appropriate professional guidance

2) Practical core: intensive work on silicone models

Practice follows a repeatable procedure sequence for each region: workstation preparation, marking, angle/line control, execution, jewellery placement, and aftercare instruction. This structure builds consistency and reduces “guesswork” during real applications.

3) Optional: practice on your own model (if available)

Near the end of the program, a dedicated practice window may be offered for candidates who bring their own models. This stage is handled with a studio mindset: suitability assessment, informed consent approach, and controlled workflow.

Curriculum overview (high-level)

Day 1: standards, setup, and core regions

  • Workstation setup logic and sterile flow discipline
  • Consumable control, process order, and contamination risk points
  • Marking and placement principles: symmetry, angles, tissue response
  • Ear region foundations with structured repetition
  • Jewellery sizing logic: gauge/length decisions and comfort considerations
  • Hands-on practice on silicone models with feedback loops

Day 2: broader regions, scenarios, and workflow consolidation

  • Nose applications: technique distinctions and placement control
  • Face and navel regions: angle management and stabilisation principles
  • Tongue and chest regions: suitability assessment and process discipline
  • Dermal and intimate/special area topics: scope, boundaries, privacy, consent approach
  • Aftercare protocol building: written instructions and follow-up mindset
  • Scenario work: recognising normal vs abnormal signs and responding appropriately
  • Final consolidation: end-to-end studio workflow simulation

Sterile workflow: the baseline for professional results

In piercing, “good technique” is inseparable from the workflow that protects the client and the practitioner. The training treats sterility as a practical routine that is applied in every step.

Before the procedure

  • Work surface preparation and barrier use logic
  • Clean/dirty separation and placement of supplies
  • Glove discipline and “touch control” rules

During the procedure

  • Process order: marking → execution → jewellery placement
  • Single-use logic and safe disposal approach
  • Maintaining control over contamination points

After the procedure

  • Closing routine: cleanup and workstation reset discipline
  • Tool segregation and safe storage approach
  • Record consistency and aftercare instruction delivery

Professional boundary: piercing is a body procedure with health implications. The program focuses on safe workflow and proper client guidance. Where signs indicate a potential medical issue, the correct approach is to recommend appropriate medical evaluation.

Jewellery materials and sizing decisions

Jewellery choice has direct impact on comfort and healing. The training covers how to think through material and sizing decisions with a structured approach.

Material awareness

  • Core material categories and general suitability principles
  • Surface quality and comfort considerations
  • Risk awareness: sensitivity, irritation potential, and professional caution points

Gauge, length, and form

  • Swelling allowance and region-dependent differences
  • Problems caused by incorrect sizing (pressure, embedding, irritation)
  • Region-appropriate forms: flatback, barbell, ring, industrial, and others

Aftercare standards and complication awareness

Aftercare is not a casual recommendation. A consistent, written aftercare standard protects outcomes and client trust.

Aftercare structure

  • Early period: expected sensations and normal signs
  • Ongoing care: hygiene behaviour and do-not-do rules
  • Follow-up logic: checking progress and documenting concerns

Recognising warning signs

  • Normal healing vs signs that require professional attention
  • How to communicate clearly without causing unnecessary panic
  • When and how to advise medical evaluation

Client communication, consent discipline, and records

Technical execution alone does not build a professional practice. Clear communication and consistent records prevent misunderstandings and support responsible work.

  • Suitability screening and expectation management
  • Informed consent approach and clear pre-procedure explanation
  • Age/identity verification principles and ethical boundaries
  • Photo/portfolio permissions and privacy awareness
  • Follow-up communication and client guidance consistency

The program includes a structured kit designed to support practical learning during training and to help you maintain consistency afterwards.
