I keep these single use disposable devices available for convenience.

Symbol that signifies "Do Not Reuse/Single Use Only" for disposable one-time use products

Although more than a decade has passed since I used forceps of any sort to grasp tissue for piercing procedures, I have found that these and other such small disposable plastic tweezers are useful to secure and facilitate jewelry insertion in areas that my fingers do not easily fit.

Many of my colleagues have found these and disposable single use tubes useful for safe transition to an all disposable piercing procedure. Erik Dakota once called these a "freehand disposable aid" as they are available as an engineering control to help avoid sharps injury. One might use this to grasp tissue, or alternately to grasp and isolate the sharp tip of a needle after it exits a piercing.

I have an overstock of a few hundred extra that you are welcome to take off my hands:
