How to Become a Piercer...

So for part of my project i need to spend 20 hours watching someone at work, everything from setup to to cleanup. I plan on visiting a few shops and splitting the time between watching a piercer and watching a tattoo artist. One thing I plan to do after my project is work to get my APP membership. this might be a long process and has several steps. To do this I will need to become CPR cirtified, attend a bloodborne pathogens training class, and obtain an apprenticeship, as tricky as it may sound i have already sent a email requesting info on the "Bloodborne and Airborne Pathogens" class offered by th National Safety Council.
