Piercing, Tattoos & Gages, Oh My!: Pros and Cons of Body Art

Speakers: Jennifer Maahs, PNP; Tonya Hegwood, LCSW

Piercings, tattoos and gages are often seen as a means of self-expression by many adolescents and young adults, even those with a bleeding disorder. While having a bleeding disorder doesn’t prevent a person from obtaining piercings, tattoos or gages, it does add to the list of considerations to be made prior to making a decision about body art. During this session we focus on safety concerns and precautions, and how peer pressure is related. We learn how to address psychosocial issues common in the adolescent/young adult age group and intervention techniques.
