Best Tattooing & Piercing near me in Barry

Fantastic! Ash was so supportive to my Daughter. Fully explained everything to her, how he would working and what she could expect. Ash put her completely at ease and her piercings went without issue. Would absolutely recommend Empress Piercing Barry. 5*

Had a piercing done yesterday at Empress Piercing in Barry and Lucy was absolutely amazing. She was professional, friendly, calming, and clearly very experienced. She talked me through everything, helped me choose jewellery options, and made me feel completely at ease throughout. I left feeling so much more confident and empowered. Highly recommend Lucy and Empress Piercing to anyone considering a new piercing!

My partners tattoo looks absolutely amazing! Crisp and clear lines and such an adorable little ghost! I appreciate the transparency with Jess as well - I love the environment and the advice on healing tattoos! Will definitely be back ASAP! Incredible artwork on the walls as well as the rest of the parlour. Much love ❣ Ellis

This was my second visit to Empress Piercing in Barry, I saw Lucy on both occasions. I would not be tempted to go elsewhere. Lucy is highly experienced and professional and made my visit a pleasure. Thank you Lucy xx

I had such a great experience getting tattooed by Jess at Vere Street Tattoos today. Jess really listened to what I wanted and helped fine-tune the design so it would look amazing both now and long-term. The tattoo itself turned out incredible. The linework is crisp, the detail is beautiful, and everything is so thoughtfully done. You can tell Jess genuinely cares about her work and making sure her clients leave happy. She also made the whole process easy and checked in throughout to make sure I was comfortable, plus gave super clear aftercare advice.

Great visit to Empress Barry for Daith and Helix piercings. The team are so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Taking time to talk me though jewellery choices and what they were doing at each stage to keep me at ease. 100% recommend, wouldn't go anywhere else!

I had the best experience with Jess, Jess made me feel calm and comfortable with no pressure whatsoever. My tattoos are beautiful, amazingly hand drawn and my little boys face to my little Star Wars tattoo was priceless!!

First time visiting Empress Piercing in Barry. Very impressed. Lovely welcome and treatment throughout. We will be back.

First tattoo at 60! Jess was amazing. She put me at my ease straight away. Very pleased with the finished tattoos

Thank you to Natasha who was awesome. I had my septum and ear lobe done. She was very reassuring, really friendly and helped me feel at ease. Would highly recommend going for a piercing here and as a local to Barry, I hope to come back again some time soon!

Loved getting tattooed by Jess. Made me feel very comfortable and the tattoo turned out amazing 🧡

My daughter wanted her helix and conch pierced for her birthday. Having previously had both her nose and her daith pierced by Lucy in your Barry shop, there is nowhere else we would go now! As always, Lucy took her time, cleaned everything down in front of us, explained the procedures and was just so lovely with my daughter (aged 13). She is already planning several more piercings and there is only one person for the job - Lucy! Thanks so much Lucy

Fecking amazing, as always. Getting tattooed by Jess is always such a chill experience. Superbly talented and considerate, I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great tattoo from an amazing artist and person! 🖤🖤

My first piercing with Lucy and she did a great job at positioning and piercing my second tragus (to create a double tragus on one ear). As always, very happy with my experience and new piercing thanks to Empress Piercing Barry! Will look forward to the next new piercing!

Jess is absolutely amazing. My daughter had her 1st tattoo with her and the level of detail she took in explains what she was doing, why she was doing it etc put Lili at ease. She made her feel so calm and she pulled through it. Jess has now tattooed 3 members of my family including me. And I'm sure we will all be back again! Thanks again Jess xx

Felt very welcomed at empress piercing in barry and extremely pleased with my piercing, thank you!

I always have a brilliant experience with Empress Piercing, but I absolutely adore Seren as she did my first piercing with Empress and now is always my first choice when I want a piercing done. I've had my helix, nostril, chest dermal and industrial done in the Barry shop, with absolutely no regrets. Everytime I come for a piercing, a jewellery change or a check in I feel so welcome and the ladies never make you feel like any of the questions that you ask are silly. They are just excellent and the environment in the shop is lovely x Thank you so much and I'm sure that I'll be back soon!

A wonderful experience!! Tianna was great, one of the quickest, most painless piercing experiences I've had, and Tianna was very supportive throughout the whole experience. Would definitely recommend and come back for future piercings!!

Absolutely amazing! Won’t go anywhere else for piercings. I’ve had 4 piercings done here. Today I had my Daith piercing with Lucy. She was absolutely amazing super informative about the piercing and she could tell I wasn’t 100% with it so she let me have some time to think about it. Then during the piercing Tianna came to watch and offered her hand for me to hold which was super helpful and thoughtful. Couldn’t recommend enough 🫶🏻xx

I was pierced by Lucy and would highly recommend!! She made me feel so comfortable and advised me on the best piercing possible for my anatomy as I wasn’t sure. I am so so happy with my piercings and the placements and will definitely be coming back for more! Thank you!
