Had a few piercings done here, both times with Ellie. Could not recommend this place enough, not only was Ellie friendly and super helpful in calming nerves and giving advice on how to look after the piercings, but the receptionists are also very welcoming and professional so you feel like you are in good hands! I would recommend this place to anyone wanting piercings!

Got three piercings back in 2021: forward helix, tragus and a belly piercing. I had to take out the belly piercing and forward helix in 2025 because it was not healing! New piercer informed me that it was because it had been pierced at the wrong angel. This was YEARS after and at least three return appointments informing this studio that neither were healing - they told me it was due to the piercing that they switched twice. I've got 12 piercings - none as bad expereince as this. (Tragus is holding strong)

It was my first tattoo, and I was really excited but also anxious. Petra was my artist, and I wanted some customization. She did a great job modifying the design and made me feel very comfortable and less anxious. I’m really happy with the result and I’m hoping to get more in the future dont know when, but I definitely will!

Had my first ever piercing put in by Sarah. At first I was nervous, but she was so kind and professional that I was quickly put at ease. This shop is wonderful, all the staff are so sweet and fun (extra shout out to reception who is just the sweetest person and so patient). This is where you want your body art done, hands down!

Was super nervous getting my first piercing and the wonderful lady who gave me my piercing was so so professional and kind with me today, so happy with the result too. Wish I knew her name to shout her out, but anyways so so happy with the service. Definitely would recommend.
