Our Mission

The British Body Piercing Association is committed to the promotion, advancement, health and safety, education and dissemination of information about Body Piercing. Its members have demonstrated their skills in both practical and theoretical examinations, have agreed to a code of ethics, practices and procedures and to uphold a minimum level of standards for safety, hygiene, sterilisation and duty of care towards clients.

We are the only Body Piercing Association that has very stringent code of ethics, practices and procedures. Not only is the Association concerned with hygiene and sterility, but also whether the Piercer can actually do the job, performing precision piercing of consistent quality and who has a duty of care towards the client.

We also receive referrals for Body Piercing advice from:
