Association of Professional Piercers

Our piercers are current business members of the Association of Professional Piercers (APP). Membership in the APP demonstrates that we uphold a set of safety and hygiene standards that are higher than what has been established by the Washington Department of Licensing. This membership requires us to have knowledge of appropriate sterilization and cross-contamination prevention through annual bloodborne pathogens training, and our studio meets rigorous standards of environmental criteria for health and safety.

For information about making safe piercing decisions, a list of membership requirements, and a current member directory, please visit the APP website: www.safepiercing.org.

Our owner, Chrissy Shull, is a former APP Board Member (Secretary 2005-2007) and current member of the APP Legislation and Regulatory Affairs Committee. Passionate about piercer training and continuing education, she is a frequent instructor at the annual APP Conference, where she has been instructing since 2004.
