Open Piercer Forum

A free meet-up for all active professional body piercers of all levels to discuss our industry & future conference.

Meet and greet with other piercers, have the opportunity to learn from each other, and discuss our needs as practitioners.

You DO NOT need to be an active AUPP member to attend.

Speak to the AUPP about what you would like to see happen within the industry, and what you’d find valuable at a piercing conference.
