The tools that you need to do them are obvious enough...but for what preliminary things you should do before becoming one, if that's what you mean, should be as follows.

First, you should have a love for body piercings for what they are, and not how cool they might be right now, or how cool people may think you are when you mention that you are a piercer. Going into it for the right reasons is very important, because if you are nothing but a piercer, your income will be VERY hit or miss unless you live in a bustling city.

Secondly, read up on the history of piercing and body modification, and really come to appreciate where it all came from, and why it's been a form of human expression since the time of the caveman. Also read and memorize all piercing names, their locations, as well as where they come from. This will save you time during your learning, and will increase your chances of getting an apprenticeship with a body piercer, as they will be more willing to teach you if you have a good idea of what you are talking about to begin with. This with the knowledge you should have of body modification, and the respect to which you should be treating it, will make an artist or piercer respect you as a person and will show them that you are not some kid off the street looking to be the next Ami James.

So read, read, and then read some more. Learn as much as you can from who you can, and just be ready to tough it out, because for as unglamorous as it is to be a tattoo artist for the most part...the same is doubly true of being a body piercer. A lot of people think that being a body piercer is a dream job because you get to pierce boobs!!! Yea...just wait till your first saggy set comes in on a 55 year old divorcee. And don't even get me started on the hygiene and quality of genitals that you'll pierce a lot...eww
