In the early/mid 1980s, demand for skilled body piercers far outweighed supply; professional piercers were a nascent concept and, outside of cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco, it was unlikely that you were going to be able to easily get pierced by anyone who wasn't a recreational piercer.

In the mid 1980s, recreational piercers Sailor Sid Diller, himself a retired electrician who pierced and tattooed as an extension of his kinks, and Jack Yount, then an executive at American Standard Plumbing who'd been discretely piercing for three decades, filmed a how-to guide to performing basic piercings to be distributed to their network of "piercing freaks" who were interested in getting/performing piercing but didn't have local connections to further their education.

While that would seem to be heretical to modern piercers, A Safe Guide to Professional Piercing joined Gauntlet's Pierce with a Pro series, published in their quarterly PFI magazine, in helping amateurs, if not get it right, get it less wrong, when it came to piercing technique.

This video represents piercing as part of a kinky pursuit; both client and piercers are fully naked, gloves aren't always worn, the jewelry is externally threaded (I still contend that externally threaded Silver Anchor jewelry was better made than a lot of the internally threaded nonsense piercers are using today, but that's another rant) and the techniques are at times brutal. The target audience for the video was part-time and wannabe piercers working out of their homes or the back rooms of leather shops, and in that context the casual nudity makes perfect sense.

We're presenting this (almost) fully uncut with the caveat that this content is being presented for archival and contextualization and that it should not be considered a how-to.

As with all of our VIP videos- please do not share this link or content. We put in a lot of work to get this stuff to you folks.

Professional Guide to Safe Piercing

In the early/mid 1980s, demand for skilled body piercers far outweighed supply; professional piercers were a nascent concept and getting to someone who'd performed more than a few piercings was a logistical challenge. Gauntlet's PFIQ Magazine featured photo illustrated guides- the Pierce with a Pro series - walking piercing fans through the procedure for basic and advanced piercing technique. Inspired by this, piercers Sailor Sid Diller and Jack Yount created a well meaning instructional tape for members of their community - the LGBTQ piercing fans who were traveling to them to learn how to do piercings. Casual nudity was part of their subculture and is not meant to imply anything sexual. This dates back to approximately 1986. More info is available on our Patreon account.
