Pharmacies making profit from piercing
Ear piercing can be a refreshing and profitable addition to pharmacy services when it’s provided with the right information and support, says Ron Maguire, Sales Manager of Caflon
B
ody modification has been practised for 30,000 years, from South American cultures like the
Mayans and Aztecs who ritually pierced themselves, through to the late 1970s and early 80s when the British punk sub- culture used piercing to shock the social order of the time. Throughout all of this, ear piercing
has remained the most popular form of piercing. Despite certain health and safety
regulations placed on the operation of ear piercing, it can be a fresh and
inexpensive addition to pharmacy services, and retailing can also be incorporated, with a wide range of eye- catching styles to display. Hygiene and safety is of paramount
importance when piercing, so naturally clients will expect the pharmacy to be using a piercing system they can trust. Here in the UK we have several world- leading manufacturers of ear piercing systems that combine skilled British engineering and exceptional value.
Surgical quality Caflon manufactures one of the most affordable, surgical quality ear piercing systems on the UK and international market, and work closely with environmental health authorities in the UK and abroad to ensure that all products conform to international standards.

throughout the year, and training videos can also be viewed online. Products for piercing vary according to specific regions, but all comply with correct safety standards. All new customers need to be informed about licensing and insurance, and they will be given a certificate by their ear piercing trainer which they can use to obtain these. They are also advised to contact their local Environmental Health Office (or equivalent), and obtain a copy of local ear piercing by-laws. Another important requirement is that
all piercings are formally registered. Piercing clients are asked to complete a form giving information such as their age and medical condition, and state that they understand the procedures and responsibilities for their aftercare. Customers should then use this
recorded information to decide whether the client is able to proceed with a piercing.
Aftercare support It is important to pay careful attention to looking after newly-pierced ears. As problems occurring later on is often a result of poor aftercare. Caflon also makes accessories such
as lotion and wipes which are vital to the piercing procedure. Dealing with a top ear piercing
manufacturer such as Caflon ensures that any pharmacy wishing to invest in ear piercing services will be supplied with the correct information to set themselves up, provided with surgical quality, affordable ear piercing syestems, and backed up with reliable and accurate support to ensure their service is run effectively, hygenically and safely.
