The skin area to be body pierced must be shaved, if needed, and must be washed with germicidal soap and water, rinsed, and dried. A single-use gauze pad or tissue may be used for washing the skin. Before body piercing the patron's skin, the body piercing artist must apply 70 percent isopropyl alcohol to the area to be pierced. This must be applied with cotton swabs or gauze. The cotton swabs or gauze may not be reused.
