Why Piercing Can Be a Profitable Career

  • Low entry barrier - start with the essentials

    You don’t need a large studio or an extensive equipment setup to begin. Professional training, the right tools and safe working techniques are the foundation for getting started.
  • Earn from every appointment

    Piercing is a relatively quick service, allowing a skilled artist to work with multiple clients throughout the day and gradually build a sustainable income.
  • Growing demand

    Body piercing continues to attract clients across Europe and beyond. More people are looking for trained professionals who prioritise precision, safety and responsible practice.
  • A path toward return on investment

    With the right approach to your work and expenses, your initial investment in training and essential equipment can gradually be recovered through paid appointments as your client base develops.
  • More freedom with your schedule

    As a piercer, you can build a schedule around your professional goals and choose whether to develop your own practice or work within a professional studio.
  • Every client brings a different idea and aesthetic. Your role is to combine technical knowledge with an eye for style and create an experience tailored to the individual

    I got my piercing at the TATTOOED studio in central Budapest. I really liked how everything was organised, from booking the appointment to the procedure itself. The piercer explained everything calmly, answered all my questions and gave me detailed aftercare instructions. The studio is clean, tidy and has a really pleasant atmosphere. For me, it’s one of the best piercing studios I’ve been to.

    I completed my piercing training at TATTOOED Budapest. I had absolutely no practical experience before the course, so I was a little nervous. But the training was very clear and easy to follow, with lots of hands-on practice, work with models and constant support from the instructor. I especially liked being able to ask questions straight away and correct mistakes on the spot. A really good option for anyone who wants to start working professionally as a piercer.

    I was choosing between several piercing training options in Budapest and decided to go with TATTOOED. The amount of practical training was the most important thing for me, and there was definitely plenty of it. We worked on techniques, hand positioning, safety and communication with clients. The atmosphere in the studio was very relaxed, and the instructor demonstrated everything and explained it clearly. I finished the course feeling much more confident.

    I really enjoyed the piercing training at the TATTOOED studio in Budapest’s 5th District. I was specifically looking for a practical piercing course in Budapest, rather than training focused mostly on theory. A lot of attention is given to real working processes, sterility, equipment and communication with clients. I really liked the instructors’ approach no unnecessary information, everything was clear and straight to the point. A great start for a beginner piercer.

    I came to TATTOOED for a piercing after a recommendation from a friend. The studio is in the city centre, which was very convenient for me. Most importantly, I felt completely comfortable during the procedure. The piercer explained exactly what was going to happen and gave me clear aftercare instructions. Everything was much easier than I expected. If I decide to get another piercing in Budapest, I’ll definitely come back here.

FAQ Piercing training

  • Do I need a medical degree to join the training?
    No. A medical degree or previous medical background is not required to start our piercing training. The course begins with the fundamentals, including anatomy, hygiene, sterilization and safety, so you can build the essential knowledge needed for professional piercing practice from the ground up.
  • What materials are used during the piercing course?
    During the training, we work with carefully selected, biocompatible materials, including ASTM F-136 titanium and high-quality surgical steel. You will learn how to choose appropriate jewelry for different piercing procedures and understand which materials support safe healing and professional standards.
  • How many models will I work with during the training?
    The number of models depends on the training option you choose. The Practical Course includes hands-on work with classic piercing areas, while the Advanced Tier provides additional model practice. This allows you to repeat techniques, improve hand positioning and gain more confidence before working independently.
  • Are models provided for piercing practice in Budapest?
    Yes. TATTOOED Budapest organizes the search and invitation of models for live practice during the training. All practical work with models takes place under the supervision of an experienced piercing master, allowing you to apply the techniques you learn in real working situations.
  • What is the Author’s Workbook?
    The Author’s Workbook is your personal reference guide for piercing practice. It includes marking diagrams, sterilization checklists and step-by-step piercing protocols that you can continue using after the course. It is designed to help you organize your knowledge and keep important professional guidelines close at hand.
  • Will I be able to work in Europe after this course?
    Yes. The training covers key European hygiene and safety standards and includes guidance on how to build your professional practice after completing the course. You will also receive an international TATTOED certificate confirming your theoretical and practical training. Please note that specific requirements for professional piercing work may vary between European countries.
  • How do you teach proper hand positioning?
    Hand positioning is developed through repeated practical exercises. You first work with specialized training mannequins to learn the correct grip, angle and movement of the tools. Once you demonstrate sufficient precision and control, you progress to working with live models under your mentor’s supervision.
  • What is included in the post-course mentorship?
    Depending on your chosen training tier, you receive 1–2 months of support after completing the piercing course. You can share photos of your first independent work, ask questions about more complex situations and receive professional feedback from your mentor as you develop your skills.
  • Will I receive a certificate after the piercing training?
    Yes. After successfully completing the training, you receive a personalized TATTOED certificate confirming your theoretical and practical preparation. Participants of the Advanced Tier receive a Piercing Master Diploma.
  • Do I need to purchase piercing equipment before the course?
    No. All essential tools and consumables needed for the training are provided by TATTOED. You will also receive a list of verified suppliers and access to student discounts, making it easier to prepare your own professional starter kit after completing the course.
  • How long does the piercing training take?


    The program is intensive and designed to help you build practical skills efficiently. The exact format and duration depend on the training tier you choose — from the essential theory and practical training to the extended VIP Support option.
  • Do you teach how to work with clients?
    Yes. Communication is an important part of becoming a professional piercer. During the training, you learn how to communicate calmly with clients, prepare them for the procedure, reduce anxiety and create a comfortable experience from the first consultation to aftercare.
  • How much can I earn after completing the course?
    Your income will depend on your location, experience, pricing and number of clients. Piercing can offer attractive earning potential because the initial operating costs can be relatively low compared with many other beauty services. We also cover the practical side of starting your professional career, including how to approach your first clients and build your services.
  • What if I’m nervous about doing my first piercing on a real person?
    That is exactly why the practical training starts with mannequins. You first develop your technique, hand control and confidence in a safe training environment. Only after your mentor is satisfied with your precision do you move on to live models, with professional supervision throughout the procedure.
  • How can I book piercing training or get a consultation in Budapest?
    You can book a Free Consultation with TATTOED Budapest to discuss your goals, choose the most suitable training tier and get answers to any remaining questions. We’ll help you understand which training format is the right starting point for your professional piercing career.

      Artist at TATTOOED Studio – 6 Years Crafting Timeless, Effortless Beauty
      Irina expert permanent makeup

      About Irina:

      Six years ago, I realized that permanent makeup is essentially facial engineering. Every brow line and lip contour I design relies on a precise intersection of geometry, color science, and technical rigor.

      My professional journey has been punctuated by various accolades, yet my true measure of success remains the confidence my clients find in their own reflection. I aligned myself with TATTOOED because we share a refusal to settle for anything less than clinical safety and superior aesthetic refinement.

      I approach permanent makeup as a tool for effortless beauty rather than a superficial mask. My commitment is to elevate your natural features through balanced, subtle work that maintains its elegance and relevance.

      Since the beginning of TATTOOED, I have focused on elevating body modification into a refined craft. I specialize in bespoke placement design, combining surgical safety standards with aesthetic elegance to create looks that are as comfortable as they are striking.

      I don’t believe in trends; I believe in custom-fitted style. Whether you are looking for a subtle detail or a complex, curated project, I am here to ensure your vision is executed with perfection.
