About

Each piercing is performed using single-use sterile needles and all equipment is immediately disposed of after use.

The jewellery we offer is of the highest industry standard. We exclusively use internally threaded or threadless titanium jewellery, both finished with a mirror polish to ensure comfort and safety during insertion and wear. Our gold jewellery is solid 14k and 18k with no platings, fillers or coatings.

We are the only studio in Camden Town to offer lobe piercings performed with a needle for children aged 8 and over (by appointment only), using high-quality jewellery. This is the safest method for both children and adults. A parent or legal guardian must be present with valid photo ID for both adult and child during the procedure.

How much does a piercing cost?

Our piercing price list covers the cost of a piercing with basic titanium jewellery.

If you would like something more fancy or sparkly, we offer a wide range of upgrade options. Prices vary depending on style and availability. Our inventory changes regularly, but below is a guide to some of the options available for both piercings and jewellery changes. All items listed are verified Implant Grade Titanium unless otherwise stated. All CZ (Cubic Zirconia) stones are genuine and available in a variety of colours. Opals may be genuine or synthetic depending on manufacturer.

We also offer a wide range of solid gold options in both 14ct and 18ct (Yellow, White & Rose Gold). Prices vary depending on design and availability, but solid gold upgrades generally begin from around £60+ (attachment only).

Example: A nostril piercing (£45) with a 2.5mm CZ attachment (£30) will cost £75. A pair of ear lobe piercings (£65) with two small Trinity CZs (£40 each) will cost £145.

There are many factors that determine the cost of a piercing. While it can be tempting to choose the cheapest option, this does not usually result in the best experience or outcome. Differences in pricing reflect variations in experience, setup, hygiene standards and jewellery quality.

As a fully disposable studio, we do not reprocess any equipment. This significantly reduces the risk of cross-contamination and allows us to operate to the highest hygiene standards. Everything used during the piercing process is sterile and single-use, including gloves, which is a considerable cost but essential for safety.

All jewellery used in our studio is verified by the Association of Professional Piercers. Our basic jewellery is supplied by Junipurr Jewelry and NeoMetal, using internally threaded or threadless systems as standard. These manufacturers provide mill certificates verifying the implant-grade titanium used in their products. We believe that better materials and higher standards result in healthier piercings and a better overall experience.

Louise profile picture

Growing up as a creative and artsy kid, Louise found herself never sure of what she wanted to do for a career. The idea of doing the same job for years and years seemed boring, especially after working office jobs in between completing her Degrees.After moving to London to study Fashion Design (which she enjoyed but again, wasn't what she really wanted) Louse eventually found herself in a position to learn to be a piercer.

When she began in 2010, piercing was still pretty old school. Not a lot of choices for jewellery, but she felt like she'd found her place in life. There was just something so exciting about it all, every day was different.

And her she is many years later, not at all bored at doing the same job. Louise's enthusiasm and passion for piercing is seen in her work and they way she speaks to clients individually to plan their piercings.Clients are drawn to her excitement and creativity, her use of colour and texture along with placement.As someone with a passion for jewellery and especially gold, there isn't a better career.

When Louise isn't piercing she can be found outdoors with her family, feeding squirrels or lifting heavy things and always in Nike.

Tom profile picture

Tom has been piercing since the beginning of 2016 and is also a veteran of the service industry, he has forged a strong reputation based on his aim to consistently achieve the best overall client experience possible, alongside his skill set and attentive bedside manner. Tom feels it is important for people to be as informed as possible with regard to body piercings so will try and convey as much useful information to help ensure clients are fully equipped for the commitment of healing a piercing.

While Tom does not favour particular areas of the body to pierce he does enjoy the challenge that is presented with each individual's anatomy and the opportunity to create unique styles and placements. His favourite ear piercing to perform is a conch on the basis that it was his first ear piercing but also the versatility the placement offers in terms of jewellery options.

Outside of piercing Tom enjoys cycling, music, cooking, reading and socialising.
