BVLA's relationship with the Association of Professional Piercers runs deep. Founded in 1994 — the same year we attended the very first APP convention — the APP is the oldest and longest-running international organization for professional piercing, and the community it represents is the community we've built our business around.

We've been there every year since, whether attending or displaying at the annual conference, and that consistency says something about how seriously we take this relationship. As a Corporate Sponsor, BVLA supports the APP not just as a supplier, but as a genuine partner. We will continue to do so.
We believe wholeheartedly in the APP's mission: education, raising standards, advancing safety, and protecting the people on both sides of the needle. That's why each year we proudly donate to scholarship funds that help disadvantaged people access APP events and training — because the industry is stronger when it's accessible to everyone who loves it.
We extend that same commitment globally, supporting sister organizations across the world including Brazil's GEP, the UK, and Australia, because safe and ethical piercing isn't a regional concern
