About

Each piercing is performed with single use sterile needles and any equipment used is immediately disposed of.

The jewellery we offer is of the highest industry standard. We only use Internally Threaded or Threadless Titanium, both of which have a mirror polish finish, assuring comfort and safety during insertion and wear. Our Gold jewellery is solid 14k & 18k with no platings, fillers or coatings.

We are the only studio in Camden Town to offer lobe piercings done with a needle for children from 8 & up (by appointment only) using high quality jewellery. This is the safest way for children (and adults, of course!) to be pierced. (A parent or legal guardian MUST be present with photo ID for both adult and child for the piercings procedure)

How much does a piercing cost?

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

But what if you want something more fancy or sparkly in your new piercing? We have a huge range of upgrade options available and of course the cost of each piece will vary. Our inventory also changes a lot but here we will outline some of the options we have available for piercings and jewellery changes. Items listed here are verified Implant Grade Titanium unless otherwise stated. All CZ (Cubic Zirconia) stones are genuine and come in a variety of colour options. Opals are genuine and synthetic depending on manufacturer, available in a variety of colours.

We also offer a wide range of Solid Gold Options in both 14 carat and 18 carat (Yellow, White & Rose Gold). The price of Gold and our inventory is more variable but our upgrade options in Solid Gold generally begin at around £50+ (attachment only).

So for example, a nostril piercing (£40) with a 2.5mm Cubic Zirconia (CZ) attachment (£25) will cost £65. Or, a pair of ear lobe piercings (£55) with two small Trinity CZs (£30 each) will cost £115.

There are many different factors which can determine the price of a piercing and depending on a potential customer's perspective it may seem expensive. Many people will attempt to seek out the cheapest possible option to fulfil their desire to get a piercing and at face value this may seem like the most cost effective means of getting what they want. As we all know going for the cheapest possible option does not generally lend to the best experience or outcome. But why is there such a difference in prices for piercing services? We will attempt to explain this below for those who are interested.

There are three key elements which will vary from studio to studio to take into consideration, labour, setup and jewellery. Ultimately everything we do as a studio is a reflection of our business and us as professionals, the standards we have in place are based on years of experience and forever trying to improve our knowledge. We use the best possible quality products and try to deliver them at the most accessible price. We of course accept that not everyone may have the budget for the services we offer but a piercing is an investment and can last a lifetime so we believe it is better to spend a bit more initially rather than compromising on quality and enjoyment.

As a fully disposable studio, we do not reprocess anything that we use, this means we can operate without needing facilities to reprocess contaminated tools etc while also significantly reducing the risk of cross contamination, ultimately it is more hygienic and safe. Everything we use during the piercing process costs money and this needs to be taken into consideration when setting our price point, the fact we use sterile gloves for piercing procedures is also a significant financial outlay.

All of the jewellery we use in our studio is verified by the Association of Professional Piercers, this means that the manufacturers are held accountable for the quality and grade of the materials which they use and distribute. Our basic jewellery is a combination of Junipurr Jewelry and NeoMetal and we use either threadless or internally threaded systems as standard. These companies provide mill certificates for the Titanium they use which proves the source and Implant Grade status of their products. When we opened Gold Standard Piercings and Fine Jewellery we made a conscious decision that we would only use the highest quality body jewellery for our clients. Better quality services and materials makes for healthier piercings and more comfortable clients. Consumers invest a huge amount of trust in us as professionals and we feel that it is only right that we share some insight into our pricing and costs. Hopefully this offers some explanation as to why our services cost what they do, if you have any further questions please feel free to contact us.
