Jewellery changes, downsizing and Ear Spa appointments are also available. Every piercing is subject to suitability, anatomy and the relevant age requirements.
Do you offer jewellery changes, downsizing and piercing check-ups?
Yes. We offer jewellery changes and can change your jewellery even if your piercing was not originally done by us, as well as downsizing, piercing check-ups and our Ear Spa service.
What is the Ear Spa?
Our Ear Spa is a complete professional cleaning and refresh service for your ear jewellery. The service costs £25 and includes up to six pieces of jewellery.
Your jewellery is carefully removed before each piece is steam-cleaned to remove debris and build-up. Implant-grade titanium is thoroughly cleaned, while solid-gold and platinum pieces are carefully polished by hand to restore their finish.
Stones and their settings are given separate attention, removing any build-up around the setting and restoring their clarity and brilliance. Once complete, your jewellery is sterilised and fitted back into your piercings.
The service takes approximately one hour, leaving you free to have a coffee or visit the shops while we work. It is a simple way to restore the appearance of your jewellery and bring its original polish and detail back to life.
Ear Spa appointments can be booked through our online booking system.
How much does body piercing cost?
All piercings have a base price, this is usually around £35 - £40. Some are slightly higher but the overall contributing factor to cost is the piece of jewellery the customer chooses for their piercing.
Can you accommodate additional needs?
Yes. We welcome all types of clients and regularly work with people who have a wide range of additional needs.
The studio has disabled access and hearing loops, and we can offer quieter or silent appointments for clients with anxiety, sensory sensitivities or communication preferences. Please let us know when booking if there is anything we can do to make your appointment more comfortable. We will always tailor our approach wherever possible.
How do I know the quality of the material is safe for my body?
Most body piercing studios will hold their jewellery in implant grade titanium. This should be standard practice across the UK. Studios should hold test certificates for their titanium to show that its implant grade.
What other materials do you stock for jewellery?
In our studio we hold Implant grade titanium ASTM-F136, solid 14k and 18k gold as well as platinum.
As well as the base materials, you have a choice of CZ's, Synthetic Opals, Genuine Opals, Natural Stones, Precious and Semi Precious stones, including real Diamonds.

In our studio we are happy to answer any questions about the sterilitity of the piercing room, the jewellery, and our equipment. Any studio should happily answer theses questions for you without hostility and answer them to a satisfactory standard.
. Do you use latex gloves?
Most studios will use latex gloves however in our studio we choose to use sterile Nitrile gloves to avoid customers having any form of reactions to the latex as some people do have latex allergies.

We pierce anyone from the age of 14 (with a parent present) however most piercings will not be available to you until the age of 16 (with valid I.D). Intimate piercings and nipples are not available until the age of 18 with valid I.D.
