Filthy conditions regularly force the closure of tattoo and piercing studios in the US and Canada (and other areas, too, I'm sure).

A simple google search will reveal that many businesses have been fined and/or shut down for a lack of sanitation and inappropriate hygiene practices.

Who knows how long these studios maintained their dangerous procedures before being shut down? Or how many clients may have suffered infections as a result? Fortunately, those businesses were forcibly closed, but, how many others are still operating without following appropriate practices?

Body art is not regulated in all areas, and even where laws exist, they aren't always enforced. That's why YOU as a consumer need to be educated. So when you go into a studio you can make a solid evaluation of the premises and practices to be sure you will be safe. You can learn everything you need to know about this in The Piercing Bible. Chapters 5-9 all contain an abundance of information on how to evaluate the piercer, studio premises, and even the body jewelry. Be safe; educate yourself!
