Model Opportunity
Become a piercing model in London
Our students finish their training by piercing real people, and every piercing is done under the close supervision of a working piercer. If you are over 18 and there is a piercing you have been meaning to get, you could help them learn.
What it means
Real piercings, supervised every step
Students spend the early part of each course on theory and on piercing moulds. Moulds teach angle, marking and needle control, but they do not flinch, bleed, breathe or ask questions. Piercing a real person is the only way to learn the rest: talking someone through consent, settling a nervous client, working with real tissue and fitting jewellery that sits right. That is where you come in.
As a model, you are pierced by a student while a working piercer supervises the whole process, from checking the marking to fitting the jewellery, so the work is safe and done properly. All piercings take place in our Stratford studio, to the same hygiene and sterilisation standards the students are taught.
What to expect
Being a model, step by step
Tell us which piercing
Let us know which piercing you would like. Students need to practise a range, from earlobes and cartilage to nostril, eyebrow and navel, so we match you to a course day that needs it.
Supervised from start to finish
A working piercer checks the consent, the marking, the station and the jewellery, and watches every step, so the piercing is done safely and correctly.
Know before you come
Before you are booked in, we explain how modelling works, what jewellery is used, whether there is any cost to you, and how to look after the piercing afterwards.
Who can model
Could you be a model?
You must be over 18, in good general health, and happy to be pierced by a supervised student. Like any piercing client, you will be asked a few health questions and to give your consent before anything starts. It helps to be flexible, because models are booked for the days when students reach the live-model stage: the second day of our weekend course, or the last two days of our Monday to Thursday course.
