Bad Kitties Piercing

Body Piercing in Yamhill County since 2006

Covid-19

Requirements

5/26/2021: Some of the changes that have been implemented in order for us to be open and for you to get a piercing at the studio are still in place and are required by the State of Oregon and by the Body Arts industry's governing body, Oregon Health Authority. The rules and regulations governing body piercing have been very stringent prior to Covid-19, and have always included strict sanitation standards; cleaning the piercing area with high level disinfectant between clients, gloves worn for entire procedure, sterile implements and jewelry are just a few. These will continue, with the addition of others.

If you are not willing to follow these requirements, please do not schedule an appointment.

• Due to the size of the studio, only the person being pierced will be allowed inside - no companions, no exceptions. If the person being pierced is a minor, only one parent can accompany them to complete the release form.

• Piercing and help with your piercing is done only by appointment – no walk-ins, no exceptions. The times are extended so that all touched areas can be sanitized between clients. Jewelry sales can take place ONLY if there is time between clients; if you require help to put your jewelry in, you will have to schedule an appointment.

• If you make an appointment, keep your appointment. If you are more than 5 minutes late for your appointment, you will have to reschedule. Appointment scheduling may be easiest via my scheduling app using the button below. Also, scheduling can be done through messenger @badkittiespiercing / instagram @jkitties.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

• The door will be locked between appointments. Please remain outside or in your car until you receive a text with the OK to come in.

  
  

  When you arrive, at the door:

• You will be asked the usual Covid-19 questions relating to symptoms. If you answer yes to any, you will be required to reschedule and leave the premises. Please don't be the person who would not be truthful so that you can get a piercing!

• You must be wearing a face mask when you enter and at all times during your visit (I will also be wearing one). I have been fully vaccinated, and even if you have been also, at this time I will not be checking your status.

• You will have your temperature taken with a touch-less forehead thermometer when you arrive for your appointment. If your temperature is 100.3 or over, you will be asked to reschedule and to leave the premises.

• You will be required to use provided hand sanitizer before continuing with the check in process.

• The piercing release forms have always required name, address, email and phone number. They are now also required in case of infection transmission.

Some changes are made by the studio for the protection of the piercer and the client.

• At this time, the decision is made to NOT pierce anyone under 13 years of age.

• Septum and oral piercings (tongue, lip) will NOT be done at this time. I know this is disappointing for some of you, however, having your mouth uncovered while we are in very close contact is less than ideal for both of us.

• I will still be giving aftercare instructions verbally and a link to the aftercare will be emailed to you following your piercing. It is strongly suggest you print it so you can easily refer to it when needed.

• All areas that have a high probability of being touched will be sanitized between clients (ie: doorknobs, tablets); all other areas cleaned at least 2x a day (ie: floors, other surfaces).
