We provide a large selection of jewellery to pierce with, ranging from plain titanium to 18k Gold, and the prices for each piercing will vary depending on the jewellery choice you make! We do have an in-house anodiser which can change the metal colour of any piece of jewellery that we stock to any colour of the rainbow (except black)! That is a service that is included in the price of the piercing.

We currently don’t have a price list available to view online. Please contact us for prices of specific piercings 🙂

All of our titanium jewellery is 6Al-4VEli ASTM:F-136 with Mill Certificates available on request. We also have solid 14k & 18k gold options (18k from ANATOMETAL). Everything is either internally threaded or thread-less jewellery.

All jewellery posts (the part that goes in your body) will be titanium. The attachments/tops (the part you can see) will be either titanium or gold.

Piercing is on both a walk in and appointment basis. We recommend booking in to ensure that we have the space for you! For appointments we block out approx 30 minutes per customer (depending on the piercing being done) to give us time to discuss jewellery options, create custom pieces & sterilise all the jewellery. Email us or DM our piercers on instagram (@louisexvxpiercer or @kindneedle) to book a space 🙂

We do! Our main age restriction on piercings is 16 or over and you must bring government issued ID with you on the day (such as a passport or driving licence, NO PHOTOS OR PHOTOCOPIES WILL BE ACCEPTED). For nipples, microdermals & surface piercings our age restriction is 18 or over. We are now requiring ID for every customer so be sure to bring it with you 🙂

We will ONLY pierce with you with a needle 🙂 there is no benefit to being pierced with a gun, the pain level is the same and it takes only slightly longer as we need to insert the jewellery. And our piercers will keep you happy and chatty the whole time!

Nope! We will ONLY pierce with jewellery provided by our studio as we cannot verify the quality of any jewellery you bring in yourselves. Like we mentioned before we have a large selection to choose from in the studio and you can always speak directly to our piercers over instagram to ask them for suggestions/discuss options and prices!

We do not use numbing cream and do not recommend using it! Please do not apply numbing cream to the area you are getting pierced before you come to the studio, if we see numbing cream on you or can tell that you have used it (usually we can because it changes your skin texture 😉) then we will be within our right to refuse service.

Yes! We will provide you with an aftercare instruction sheet at the time of piercing & we can provide a spray bottle of saline solution in the studio for £5. We do ask that you DO NOT make the solution yourselves. We have discovered that most of the time people do not get the proportions correct or they have used a cup or mug with residue on it meaning that is not pure, it is easier to just buy a pre-made solution and use that, even if you don’t get it from us!

Aren’t you eager?! 😉

We will do a maximum of 3-4 piercings on one person at a time, and for cartilage piercings, only on one ear at a time (you need a side to sleep on!).

You are welcome to bring a friend or family member with you for support, however they will not be allowed in the piercing room with you. We are also a small premises so depending on how busy we are, we may ask anyone that is not getting a service to wait outside.

Children are not allowed in the studio without a guardian present. If you are wanting to get a piercing and bring your child along, you must have another person in your group to look after them as we cannot watch them for you!

We love dogs so bring them please! <3

We can remove any piercing for you for a fee of £5 to cover the cost of set up. For re-opening of piercings we charge £10 + the price of the jewellery you choose

If you are more than 20 minutes late to your appointment and don’t show up then you will lose your deposit and have to pay another to re-book. If you are over 20 minutes late to your appointment and still show up we will charge you on an hourly basis for the time that has been taken for waiting for you. When you are late/cancel on the same day your artist and the studio both lose out on work and money so it is important to be communicative with your artist and the studio about your time-keeping.

Sorry, not at the moment!

Nope sorry! We only sell the real stuff 😉

Coming out of lockdown, we are operating by an appointment/same day appointment basis. Meaning, we may not always have time for you. as a walk in client and booked appointments for tattoos are preferred, however if we have the time we will happily take clients as same day bookings/walk ins.

In order to get an accurate quote for you we will need a few things: a brief description of the piece, the approximate size (inches/cm), the placement on the body & reference photos for the style. We will then speak to the artist we feel would be best for it (or you can specify an artist as well) and get you a quote. You can then decide whether or not to book in & if you decide you’d like to go ahead with it we will require a deposit to be paid via PayPal or cash in the studio (there are no other ways!).

For most pieces we don’t require a consultation 🙂 However if it is a large piece, a very specific piece, or a cover-up it will be very likely that you’d need a consultation before we can do anything for you,. If you email us with the information mentioned previously then we can speak with the artists and decide if a consultation is needed. We hold them every day (keeping in mind the artists scheduled work days) at either 11:30am or between 5:30-6pm.

We do not use numbing cream and do not recommend using it! Please do not apply numbing cream to the area you are getting pierced before you come to the studio, if we see numbing cream on you or can tell that you have used it (usually we can because it changes your skin texture 😉) then we will be within our right to refuse service.

At this time due to COVID-19 guidelines we cannot allow more than 1 person in the reception area at a time, meaning you will be unable to bring any friends or family members with you to your appointment. The only exception is if you are under 18 and would like a parent/guardian to be there or you are with a carer.

We will always try our best to do tattoos that are going to age well. From experience we see that these kinds of tattoos do not heal or age very well so we will not do them. White ink tattoos in particular only work if you are incredibly pale as they mostly heal to your skin tone and generally just look like a scar. We do use white ink but only for highlights.

We do hand/finger/face/neck tattoos on a case-by-case basis. We do not recommend and will likely not do these for you unless you are heavily tattooed and/or already have tattoos in this area. There are several reasons for this including but not limited to the difficulty in healing, fall out, fading, “job stopping”, etc. We understand this can cause disappointment however if we refuse, we do so because we believe it is in your best interest.

We do have an hourly charge, you can contact us directly for this 🙂 however we do try not to charge hourly unless it’s a very large or ongoing piece, if you follow the steps under ‘How do I get a quote and make an appointment?’ we can get you a price based on the design or let you know if it will be an hourly charge.

So long as you get in touch with us within 3 months of your tattoo appointment we will happily touch up your tattoo with no charge. You must contact us within 3 months and book within 6 months from your original appointment otherwise there will be a charge of £60+ (depending on the size of the tattoo)

In the UK you must be 18 or over in order to get tattooed, it is illegal for any artist to tattoo someone under the age of 18, so please don’t ask us for an exception! We will not say yes! No matter how old you are, you must bring government issued ID with you on the day (such as a passport or driving licence, NO PHOTOS OR PHOTOCOPIES WILL BE ACCEPTED).

Sorry, no! We only do the real deal 😉
