The piercing training and product provider Studex is celebrating 50 years of operation this year, 2026. For half a century, the company has supplied ear and nose piercing systems and jewellery to a wide range of UK businesses, including salons, jewellers, retailers, piercing studios, and healthcare settings.
Studex has consistently focused on developing hygienic, safe, and reliable piercing systems for trained professionals. A notable innovation was the introduction of their System 75® ear piercing system, designed to improve hygiene standards and user-friendliness.
Kathryn Darwin, commercial business owner at Studex UK Ltd, highlights that this anniversary is about more than just past achievements; it's about shaping the future of the piercing industry. She emphasises Studex's commitment to empowering professionals through training and support, crediting business partners and the Studex team for their role in driving innovation over five decades.
To commemorate this 50-year milestone, Studex plans to launch exclusive jewellery collections throughout 2026. These collections are intended to inspire piercing professionals and celebrate the craft. The company's ongoing presence and product development over five decades suggest a deep understanding of the sector's evolving needs.
