They’re here: the first industry awards dedicated to body piercing! Far from your average popularity contest, where success is measured by clicks or likes, these awards are peer-reviewed, with winners chosen by a panel of the most experienced and respected piercers in the game.

Celebrating stellar achievements, personal development, best practice, stand-out work, creativity and client care during the past year, there are five categories available to enter for the inaugural UK Piercing Awards, with winners receiving a beautiful trophy to proudly display in their studio.

• Studio of the Year – sponsored by BVLA
• Piercer of the Year – sponsored by BVLA
• Apprentice of the Year – sponsored by LeRoi
• Front-of-house Star of the Year – sponsored by Industrial Strength UK
• Curated Ear of the Year – sponsored by Ember Body Jewelry

Entries cost £100 each and must be submitted by the owner of the studio by 27 February 2026.

Enter by 19 January 2026 and enjoy a special early-bird price of £80 per entry!
