What is Piercing Safe?
Piercing Safe is an organisation dedicated to improving safety standards and best practices in the UK piercing industry.
With no legal training requirements for piercers, there is a gap in infection prevention knowledge and industry-wide hygiene standards. Our goal is to raise awareness, provide guidance, and support both professionals and the public in making safer choices.

Why choose Piercing Safe?
Backed by Industry Professionals
Piercing Safe was created by experienced piercers who understand the gaps in safety, training, and regulation from the inside out.
Purpose-Driven, Not-for-Profit
We're a voluntary organisation, not a regulator - our mission is to raise standards where official oversight doesn’t exist.
Support for Councils & Insurers
We provide guidance and resources to local authorities, insurers, and public health teams seeking trusted, practical information.
Training That Actually Applies
Our Level 2 Infection Control course is written specifically for body piercers - not a generic first aid or salon health course.
“Piercing Safe was born out of frustration – not just with the lack of regulation in our industry, but with the lack of support. We’re here to raise standards, not by force, but by leading with knowledge, community, and care.”
