Piercings at Bella average $65–$175 per service. With the skills and jewelry in your kit, most students walk away with the potential to earn back their full tuition within a few weeks.
Each in-person class includes: • 2 Full Days of In-Person Training • Hands-On Live Model Piercing • Complete Starter Kit (tools + titanium jewelry) • Certificate of Completion • Lifetime Support & Mentorship
Just yourself, a positive attitude, and your passion for piercing! All tools, jewelry, paperwork, and practice materials are provided.
You will receive a Bella Piercing Certificate of Completion for each course level you complete. These certify you as trained in each piercing type and recognized by our academy.
The required certifications for body piercing vary by location, but our training program includes the essential certifications you’ll need to get started. During our course, you will earn the following:
Blood-borne Pathogens Certification (OSHA-compliant)
First Aid & CPR Certification
In addition to these, many states and counties require a Body Art Permit or license. This requirement is state- and county-specific, so we recommend checking with your local health department for exact regulations.
Our team can also help guide you through the process of obtaining any additional permits or meeting local compliance standards.
For Columbus, Ohio classes: We recommend flying into John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH). It’s conveniently located less than 10 minutes from our training facility.

We offer three progressive hands-on piercing classes:
Beginner Needle Piercing (Lobes + Helix)
Intermediate Piercing (Nose, Conch, Tragus, Rook, Daith)
Expert Piercing (Industrial, Belly, Nipple)
No. These classes are only available to students who completed the previous level at least 6 months prior at Bella Piercing Training Academy. • To take Intermediate, you must have completed Beginner 6+ months ago. • To take Expert, you must have completed Intermediate 6+ months ago.
We believe quality piercers are built through real experience and healing knowledge, not rushed certifications. The 6-month wait gives you time to practice, gain confidence, and properly care for healed clients before taking on more advanced placements.
