Choosing The Right Piercing Jewelry Part 2 - Gauge - Body Piercing Basics EP45
In the 45th episode of the Body Piercing Basics series, DaVo begins a new series of videos on how to choose the right jewelry for your piercing. In this first episode, he covers the gauge or thickness of the jewelry.
This video is designed for those new to Body Piercing and as an educational introduction. You should always consult a professional piercer or medical profession before getting any piercing or embarking on a piercing procedure. One of the key concepts behind this series is to empower the average person to have an informed conversation with their piercer.
I, also known as DaVo, have been a professional body piercer and the owner of Axiom Body Piercing Studio in Des Moines, Iowa, since 1994. My focus on education and helping clients make informed decisions about getting pierced has always been a significant part of my business practices and services. With my website and increasingly on YouTube, I hope to expand and inform others outside of my small part of the world. I always welcome questions and comments, so if you have one, please don't hesitate to share.
