ATTN: Medical and Dental Professionals
RE: Body Piercing, a growing concern for Medical and Dentistry professionals.

Due to the huge increase in popularity of "Body Piercing" or "Exotic Piercing" (Facial, Oral, and Body) many entrepreneurs have seen fit to offer piercing services without the necessary training or experience. For professionals in the medical/dental field this has created a climate of negativity and disdain for the piercing industry.

Regardless of your perspective, your patients are getting pierced! There are safer, better choices your patients can make to ensure a positive piercing experience and healthy results.
