The 30 Best Professional piercing in London

“Dita sorted out my nose piercing which had been done incorrectly and never healed properly. She was warm, wonderful and I was so happy to have seen her. My nose piercing looks and feels so much better now and I have some lovely new studs for it too. Thank you so much, Dita!”

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND. After attending the piercing course with Sunny, i am highly confident that this is the industry for me. The amount of information you manage to pick up is incredible. the things you learn are very important and the way they’re taught are very helpful. as someone who struggles to concentrate for long periods of time, i was always engaged and it increased my drive to pursue this career. When moving onto piercing physically piercing it may be nerve racking but all staff i interacted with was so friendly and made me feel very calm and relaxed. if you want to enter the industry this is the way to go!”

“Ive had 5 piercings here and all done lovely! Really kind as I am under 18 but was still treated with respect/ not undermined. Helped me change a really bad jewellery in my daith and had a nice interaction with the lady who does the lasering. Will always come back.”

“Got 3 pain free piercings done at once. Everything was super clean and Orlando was lovely. I went back the following week with my friend and she had the same experience. Would recommend to anyone!”

“I want to say a huge thank you to Lee at Sacred Empire Tattoo Parlour in Tunbridge Wells for the amazing work he’s done on the tattoos on my hand. I'm absolutely thrilled with how it turned out. Lee made the whole experience comfortable and took the time to understand exactly what I wanted. I couldn’t be happier with the result and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality work in a relaxed and friendly environment. I'll be back to have the other finger done when the cut on it heals. Thanks again, Lee”

“I had real apprehensions when I first decided to go to West London Ink because I wasn’t sure what my half sleeve would look like when finished. We just spoke about it and no design was shared prior to having the tattoos done. However, this was my mistake! I had my half sleeve done by James who knew what the finished product would look like and is immensely skilled in what he does. His advice and insight was extremely helpful to allow me to make an informed decision. Thank you so much James for the fantastic job. The staff are friendly, the establishment is hygienic and I would recommend this tattoo parlour. I have a small area to cover to complete my half sleeve and I look forward to my follow up appointment!”

“My husband Kyle and I went to Paul for tattoos to commemorate our trip. Paul was very responsive and created beautiful tattoos based off of what we wanted. Very happy with how both of them turned out! Also great chatting with Paul about all of his travels!”

“The tattoo turned out absolutely perfect – even better than I imagined! The people working here are true masters of their craft. Super professional, talented, and passionate about what they do. The atmosphere in the studio is also great – clean, friendly, and welcoming. It was a truly amazing experience. Thank you so much! Be happy ❤️”

“I had my piercing changed to a hoop and Gemma was such a lovely lady she is very good with people and I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.”

“I had the pleasure of getting tattooed by Ivan, and I couldn't be more impressed with his work. He created a stunning tiger and swallow bird tattoo that truly blew me away. The details in the tiger’s fur and the delicate lines of the swallow are absolutely perfect. Ivan's skill and precision are evident in every inch of the design, and it came out better than I could have imagined. He was professional, easy to work with, and took the time to make sure I was comfortable throughout the process. If you're looking for an artist who can bring your ideas to life with incredible skill, I highly recommend Ivan!”

“I had my helix pierced last month and this is the best studio I’ve been to. The staff are extremely professional, very friendly, and gave great advice. They didn’t rush the process at all and took their time to make sure everything was perfect. The studio was extremely clean — a true hidden gem in Shepherd’s Bush. Highly recommended!”

“If you want a tattoo in London this is the place to go. Great welcome Jo and Xico are so nice and their dog is so cute. The atmosphere is warm, you feel good there. Thanks we'll come back when we're in London again!”

“I had a really great experience with Justin. It was my first tattoo and a bit of spontaneous idea. But Justin and the team at Nemesis were really kind and really took the time to make sure I as well as themselves understood what I was looking for. Overall, would definitely recommend anyone looking for their first tattoo experience.”

“I had an amazing experience with Valentina! She provides great service and is incredibly thorough with her work. Her attention to detail is outstanding, and she always made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and caring tattoo artist! A big thank you to Saskia as well for her quick responses over email and for making sure there was availability that suited me. Highly recommend them both — such a professional and friendly team”

“I went on monday to get a navel piercing and Rick was the best! He explained to me everything that he was going to do, he kept everything clean and sterilized and he even showed me that the needle and the plank were closed before using them. He was so so nice and it’s clear that he’s a professional. I’m so happy with my experience there, I definitely recommend it and I would come back if I weren’t from Spain.”

“This place was fantastic! The tattooists were very friendly and welcoming, gave me a great quote, was a fair price for what I was after. My sister and I both got tattoos and had a laugh while doing so. This was the best tattoo shop we could have ever walked into in London. Will be back again next time I'm in London. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Absolutely amazing people, so friendly and down to earth! My tattoo was the best quality out of all of my years going to tattoo artists all over London, good prices and attention to even the finest of details. You can tell they are artists as well as tattoo artists, they managed to make the tattoo look even more realistic than the photo I chose to start off with! Will definitely never go anywhere else, honestly my go-to tattoo place from now on! Can't wait to go back!”

“Betta did some excellent work on some tribal tattoos for me. Planned out so that I was never uncomfortable as we know how far I can go before it gets too painful. Price is as quoted so if they do it in an hour or three it’s same price. Level of detail is insane. Design is checked and checked again so that I was happy with it. Printed out then checked on arm. Made sure all was ok before even bringing a needle out. Highly recommended Just added another photo of the ongoing work. Tribal filled in and blue eyes and heart. Betta doing some great work on my arm. Another up date Now working on the other side of the arm turning into a half sleeve what started out as a tribal wrist band. So here is a run down of how it went. First hour was doing the usual consent forms then on to checking the design ( which Betta was happy to change for me). The checking how it would fit on the arm. Then print off and transfer onto arm. Betta changed a couple of things when it was on my arm because arms are 3d and paper isn’t. Once all that was done I got to check and see if it looked how I wanted it to look. We did this both looking in a mirror and photos. Then onto the actual tattoo itself. Made sure I was comfortable happy with how I have to stay. Betta works quickly for such intricate work. But always made sure I was ok. We know how far I can go it becomes too much for me. So although it looks half coloured in this was as far as I had agreed for this time and I had already booked a return visit. Service They knew I was coming and both sent me a text and email to confirm. Given a coffee on arrival and a chat to put me at ease. Any concerns I had with design were addressed and it was changed to what I preferred. Time in the chair was good being asked if I needed a break etc. after care usual high standard. Will update again as I get more done.”

“Great tatoosist and wicked artist I highly rec this man will be going bk more to get all my work done if ur looking for a top tattoo and top artist and clean sterile work place this is your go to man well happy I chose this man”

“Been getting my ink done by ricci Woodward for the past 9 years, can not find a single fault from the design process to the after care explanation even down to making the whole experience as enjoyable as possible, constant offers from other members of the team for refreshments whilst being inked. I am very surprised to see low start ratings at all because I would give 10 stars if possible, very clean hygienic well run shop”

“Last week the talented and lovely Talulah done a elegant, beautiful and unique tatto for me which had alot of thought and meaning into it. From our consultation to the actual day , she was so attentive and caring and making sure it was everything I wanted and more. Also I almost forgot I was having a tattoo as she made the experience so relaxed and comfortable. I love it , thank you so so much I love the dot work, mandala and detail.”

“Made me feel so relaxed and always have a good laugh. Confident and professional workers wouldn't go anywhere else”

“5 Stars! Super friendly, great prices and all my piercings have healed beautifully. Banter is great, never gone anywhere else since I went for my first piercing in 2021. Got my eyebrow and 2nd lobes done today and the experience was just as good as any other time I've gone.”

“Had a tattoo cover up on my thigh this morning by John which took around 3-3.5 hours to complete. It honestly flew by because John is incredibly friendly and its easy to find common ground with him. You can tell tattooing is second nature to him and I'm very pleased with the outcome. Will deffo be going to John for more tattoos”

“Had my first tattoo here with Lee. All the guys there made me feel totally at ease with their jokes! Very friendly, welcoming place. Will totally be going to Lee for the next one, he did an amazing job!”

“I stopped by at Valhalla today because I needed help with my nose piercing, and I was greeted, and assisted, by the lovely and gracious Stacy. Even though I didn't get my initial nose piercing done at Valhalla, she was still more than willing to help take a look at it and assist me in removing the labret bar ahead of an MRI appointment. She really went above and beyond to help me which I really appreciated. It's a very cool space and filled with what seems like great people, so I'll definitely return for any new piercings, piercing assistance, and even a new tattoo.”

“Took my daughter here today and I can’t thank them enough she had the best experience, the man and lady that did her ear piercing was so lovely and put my daughter at complete ease and her ear piercings are perfect Would highly recommended them to anyone My daughter and me couldn’t be happier”

“Had two piercings now here. Really great. George was considerate and obviously very experienced and kind to my nervousness, Carly was really good too. Both lovely people. Very clean and professional service. Would thoroughly recommend.”

“Amazing shop, the vibe is on point. My son had a lip piercing today, and an hour later wanted another piercing on his lip. They gave really truthful advice and said to leave it a week and let the swelling go down. I feel other shops would of just booked him in regardless. So safety for the client was the priority, not taking peoples money just for the sake of it.”

“I've been to InkFact three times now to get about 15 tattoos, building up my patchwork sleeve on my arms! I love all of them! It's such a welcoming studio and they are so accommodating to what I want and getting the size & location perfect! Giuseppe and Carlotta are super. It's a really positive and nice atmosphere - will def be going back for more in 2023! One of the best tattoo studios in London for sure :)”
