Best Body Piercing near me in Lower Town, Ottawa

The team at Vanity Ottawa are friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Fortunately, they also had exactly what I was looking for as far as jewelry, and I even had the opportunity to consult Alex on piercings I want to acquire in the future. In fact, I am writing this before booking my next appointment.

Kyle was very patient and knowledgeable about proper piercing practices. The form that you fill out is very extensive, but it's worth it. Has a good range of different jewelry that is safe to insert in your body (no surgical steel). He keeps digital records of the gauge, type, and guarantees the jewelry for life. I will be returning to him once my daith is more healed to switch to a slightly smaller ring in gold.

Alex did a great job with my piercing. He was helpful with advice regarding which jewelry to pick and is comfortable with a variety of piercings, informed by years of experience.

Very professional and friendly staff with lots of great options for jewelry. I went in for my first piercings (lobes) and my piercer Alex was very nice and fun to talk to. He took great care in the placement of my piercings to make sure they looked great and was fast with the actual piercing to minimize pain.

Carnie was very kind, explained everything thoroughly, told me exactly what was going as it was going on and my 4 piercings went so smoothly! I am very happy with my piercing experience. The jewellery selection is amazing and the pieces are just so beautiful.

Such a great selection of products. Manu was incredible in helping me find what I liked and answering all the questions I had about my old piercings (and possible future ones!). She also explained everything she was doing as she put in my new earrings for me which I really appreciated - even though I wasn't getting pierced I was still nervous so having her talk to me throughout and explain the process made it a very enjoyable experience. Super excited to come back in the future for more jewelry and future piercings!

I had an incredible experience at vanity. My piercer (I'm sorry I didn't catch their name) was so calm, knowledgeable, and sensitive to my worries regarding a stubborn piercing I had gotten elsewhere. They listened and together we came up with the best plan of action for me and my body. The environment is clean and inviting as well as LGBTQ2IA+ friendly. It lacks the intimidating atmosphere I've experienced getting piercings in tattoo studios previously. I will definitely only be going to Vanity for piercings from here on out!

I found the place clean and the staff friendly and very informative. I did end up with an extra poke, as the tech wanted to move the piecing higher for better aesthetics… a discount was given for that, which totally made it okay 😊 I cannot believe the crazy prices for the jewelry though. Very pretty, but insanely priced. A very thin simple 14k helix ring with a tiny cubic zirconia was $350! $150 would seem more appropriate for that, but that must be where they make their $, because $40 for a piercing seems very economical. Overall I’m happy, but feeling uncomfortable about what I paid…

Ellie was amazing!! She was so thoughtful about helping me choose the right jewelry and placement, and made me feel totally comfortable the whole time! And the piercing process itself was extremely sterile and professional! Would definitely recommend :)

I can’t recommend Kyle enough. This was my first experience with him and I would definitely go back again in the future. I went to have my nipples re-pierced and Kyle did an amazing job explaining the process and the aftercare. His attention to detail, especially for the placement/avoiding the scar tissue from the old piercings, was incredible and he ensured that I was comfortable throughout the whole procedure. Absolutely thrilled with how they turned out!

Charlotte is a beyond incredible piercer. I've been pierced by many people but none who actually truly care about my wellbeing, comfort, and healing as much as Charlotte. I've gotten my tragus pierced by her and it's the easiest ear cartilage piercing to heal from that I've experienced. She proactively schedules check-in appointments to make sure it's healing right and consistently provides guidance to make sure it stays healing well. I'll always go back to Charlotte for any piercing going forward - I wouldn't trust anybody else with that kind of thing anymore!

The experience was amazing! Emanuelle took so much time picking the jewelry with us, deciding on placement based on what we had dreamed of, and keeping us informed of every step of the piercing process. It was a great experience for both a piercing veteran and a newbie!

I had Kyle pierce my septum. I was extremely nervous but had the best experience. Kyle was very patient, super informative and transparent with every step. The piercing placement was also perfect! Could not recommend him enough for piercings.

Got my septum pierced a few months ago & Kyle was super gentle. It didn’t feel like he was applying much pressure. Looking forward to booking again & checking out the new jewelry.

I’ve been seeing Kyle for a couple of years now and have had multiple appointments for piercings, upgrades, and jewelry changes. His studio is always 100% clean and he is hands down the most professional piercer I’ve ever met! Kyle is such a good human and makes every appointment comfortable and relaxed. I love his quality of jewelry and how he chats with you about your style, ideas and just life🤍. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reputable peircer in Ottawa 🫶

Kyle's so gentle with my piercing. Best in Ottawa

Without a doubt, THE best experience for my mini to get her ears pierced. So clean and comfortable - I've been boasting to everyone that if they require piercing services, Body Piercings by Kyle is THE only place to trust!

Absolutely amazing. Made me less nervous and was so so patient with me even though it was a simpler piercing. He is soooo nice. I feel absolutely safe and comfortable going back to him for more piercings. And also made my mom feel part of the experience too which was really kind. Suuuuuuper communicative about sanitation, picking out jewelry, aftercare, every step in the process, etc. thank you, Kyle.

Took my son to have his ear pierced. Kyle explained everything and made myself and my son feel at ease. Kyle took his time and went through the whole process. After we left, my son said "I really like that guy." That's high praise coming from a fourteen year old. I highly recommend Body Piercings by Kyle. Don't hesitate, I promise you won't be disappointed.

I had a microdermal removed and a jewellery change on another piercing. He was very gentle with the dermal removal and it was much less painful than I had anticipated. Would highly recommend Kyle!

Kyle was super friendly and professional. Very much enjoyed my visit. I'll go to him again and I HIGHLY recommended "Body Piercings by Kyle" to anyone.

Super happy with my experience and absolutely love my new piercing! Kyle was amazing, he took the time to explain everything thoroughly, gave me detailed aftercare instructions, and put so much care into sterilizing. The studio itself is spotless, and his jewellery selection is nice. He was so patient while I chose what I wanted. This was my first visit, and he’s clearly both highly experienced and kind. I’d highly recommend seeing him!

Kyle is a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional. (With deft hands, to boot!) He made me feel at ease during the entire piercing process and I would wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone wanting to put a few more holes in their body.
