June 28th is International Body Piercing Day. The day recognizes the practice of body piercing and modification. It also promotes the education and awareness of both the culture and safety standards that should be practice with body piercing.
July 28th was selected for International Body Piercing Day because it is the birthday of the cosmetic piercing pioneer, Jim Ward. He opened Gauntlet, the world’s very first professional piercing studio in California in 1978. The holiday itself was reportedly begun by a friend of the great Mr. Ward to continue his legacy of piercing education and promote safety standards within the industry.
