Bournemouth Tattoo Convention 2012

Bill Of Rights

Every person being pierced has the right...

  • To be pierced in a scrupulously hygienic, open environment, by a clean, conscientious piercer wearing a fresh pair of disposable latex gloves.


  • To a sober, friendly, calm and knowledgeable piercer who will guide them through their piercing experience with confidence and assurance.


  • To the peace of mind which comes from knowing that their piercer knows and practices the very highest standards of sterilization and hygiene.


  • To be pierced with a brand new, completely sterilised needle which is immediately disposed of in a medical sharps container after use on the piercee alone.


  • To be touched only with freshly sterilised, appropriate implements, properly used and disposed of or re sterilised in an autoclave prior to use on anyone else.


  • To know that ear piercing guns are NEVER appropriate and are often dangerous when used on anything other than ear lobes.


  • To be fitted only with jewellery which has been appropriately sized, safe in material, design and construction and which best promotes healing. Gold-plated, gold-filled and sterling silver jewellery are never appropriate for any new or unhealed piercing.


  • To be fully informed about proper aftercare and to have continuing access to their piercer for consultation and assistance with all their piercing related questions.
