Tattoo and Piercing Industry Union Latest News

In 2009 the Tattoo and Piercing Industry Union continued to make good progress in it’s efforts to get Environmental Health Officers countrywide to understand and work together when dealing with the tattoo and piercing industry.

Despite our hard working President, Graham Martin having to step down due to ill health, the TPI committee has pulled together and continued to push forward and make headway. Our numbers are continuing to grow as more of you realise the benefits of being involved in supporting the Union and maintaining control of our industry.

By putting in place guidelines for good working practices and continuing to lobbying government, we are keeping the industry ahead of the game.

The seminars held around the country on a regular basis are enabling EHO’s to understand the tattoo and piercing world and increasing their knowledge and awareness of modern tattoo and piercing trends and practices.

The TPI continues to evolve and flourish independently under the GMB banner, providing members with information and support on every level, so get involved - and remember, your Union fees are tax deductible!
