What should I do if I suspect a piercing studio is unhygienic or employing people without the necessary qualifications?
First and foremost, if you suspect that a piercing studio is not clean or is employing people that are not qualified, leave and do not under any circumstances have any procedure carried out at this place.
This applies to any place where you go to have a procedure done and you suspect that something untoward is going on. It is less likely that you will find a dentist that applies tooth gems or fits dental grills that is unhygienic but even this is a possibility and you should always be aware of hygiene when you go for any of these procedures.
If your concerns are serious or if you have evidence that anything untoward is going on then you should report this to the trading standards agency to prevent anyone else suffering at the hands of these people.
