Asking for a piercing

Piercer: Good morning, Madam, what can I do for you?

Customer: Good morning. I’m wondering about getting a nose piercing could you tell me something about its procedure? Does it hurt?

Piercer: I can’t tell you how much it hurts, it depends on your skin structure. I am myself a happy owner of a pierced nose and I don’t think it is too painful

Customer: Is it true? Are you Honest? I’m scared to death!

Piercer: I know plenty of people who have nose piercings and no one has ever had complications Customer: I really want my nose pierced but I’m looking for more considerations

Piercer: Let’s talk about it, there are a lot of things to consider. The good thing about piercing rather than tattoo is you can remove it when you are tired to wear it, but remember that the process will leave a little scar. There is also a risk that you will be allergic to metals or to jewelry; infections is a concern especially for piercings around the face which is full of bacteria

Customer: Should I ask my doctor about my body conditions? You know, I have a lot of anxiety Piercer: If you decide to have a piercing it’s really important to be safe and in good skin condition Customer: By the way, could you tell me the price?

Piercer: I can’t tell you how much it really costs as it depends on the time and on the needles you want. In any case be sure I use only safe and sterilized products, I am an experienced professional. Remember if you don’t want to incur a problem look for quality, never argue over the price as you will get what you pay for. If you are so afraid don’t do it!
