Absolutely, if your piercer is not wearing one time use sterile gloves go to somebody else....Universal precautions {sterile environment, covered surfaces and sterile jewelry, one time use needles etc. etc.} are a MUST...Hope this helps
Gloves are not only used to protect the person who is getting the piercing, they are to protect the piercer as well. If a piercing bleeds, you do not want a transfer in blood from the piercee to the piercer. It is not healthy for either person if the piercer does not wear gloves.

What are sterile surgical gloves?
Sterile gloves are prepacked "sterilized" gloves that are kept inside special wrapping until right before use. Though different hospital departments may use different types or colors of sterile gloves, they technically are not categorized by the use of them (e,g. surgical). The same gloves used during a sterile wound dressing on a medical unit are the same kind of sterile gloves used during surgery. Steril gloves require staff to use a precise "sterile" procedure for how the glove packages are opened, removed from the paper wrapping, put onto each hand, etc. The procedure for putting on the gloves is part of the sterile protocols professionals use to maintain the "sterile" field, of which sterile gloves are just one part.
