Agency at the airport: "my first piercing".
The agency at the airport is promoting the «My First Piercing» initiative, which educates parents and guardians and others interested in the topic.
When done well, piercing is considered an art form. And yet pierced people are repeatedly confronted with prejudices. This is one of the reasons why parents are often not overly enthusiastic about the piercing wishes of their adolescents. But can they forbid it at all? What is the legal situation regarding piercings? What health issues need to be considered? Pele Brunner, Sankt Gallen's old master of piercing and tattooing, has launched a series of lectures to explain all these topics in detail to concerned parents, teachers, doctors and youth psychologists.
Parents or guardians can attend the events alone or together with their adolescents. The initiative is called "my first piercing" and is advertised by the agency at the airport with flyers in schools and waiting rooms and with advertisements in family magazines. The team recently organized a Facebook group where the content from the specialist presentations is made freely accessible.
