Pretty crazy to announce this - Dea the owner of Pearl Collective is officially Newbury's first ever UKAPP (Association of Professional Piercers) member UKAPP

When I first created Pearl Collective in the barbershop, I never imagined of getting there, but after moving to The Garden House (where we are now), I knew the dream could come true.

After many months of hard work editing the studio (with help from Family & piercer friends) and working with verified jewellery only, I was finally ready to submit my application, and here we are!

What is the UKAPP?

"The UKAPP is a non-profit, voluntary organization dedicated to spreading knowledge of safe piercing practices, up to date education for both industry professionals and the public and offer Piercers the chance to become a member by upholding the highest standards in their working environments. We also aim to create a peer review network for Piercers and protect the piercing industry, as a whole by giving it a voice"
