Best Body Piercing near me in Vanier South, 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.

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…

Literally the best piercing experience I have EVER had and I have over 10+ piercings. Ellie is SO patient, so informative, and so SWEET. She walked me through my ear anatomy and face anatomy to help me come up with a "plan/ design" and was able to help me make decisions I was 100% confident in. She had an answer to EVERY question I asked and a solution. She respected my budget requests and reminded me it's ok to take your time building the piercing stack of my dreams. It was just a really gentle and compassionate experience from start to finish. Also like... nothing hurt lol <3 TYSM

This was my second visit, and once again I was extremely satisfied with the experience. Manu provided exceptional service, demonstrating professionalism, attention to detail, and a strong commitment to cleanliness and safety throughout my appointment. I came in to have previous piercings reinserted and greatly appreciated the consultation and expert guidance provided. Manu took the time to help me choose new jewelry, offering thoughtful recommendations and ensuring I found pieces that suited my style. The jewelry selection is fantastic, with plenty of beautiful, high-quality options to choose

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 :)

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!

Wonderful experience at Vanity Inc! My 13 year old daughter had her ears pierced by Manu, who was very patient and gentle. She explained every step before, and as she was doing, the piercing, which helped my daughter stay calm. And appreciate the pain was minimal! Would definitely recommend!!!

Charlotte was incredibly kind and knowledgeable! She definitely has her customer’s best interests at heart and was amazing in helping me decide which piercing was best for me based on anatomy, pricing and future piercings. She was very skillful in her technique and my piercing experience was a breeze!

Vanity offered fantastic service from beginning to end, you could not find a more calm and welcoming environment for a piercing. My piercing was done by Charlotte, who eased any worries I had, made me feel comfortable and confident, and answered all questions. I have many piercings and this was the first done at Vanity, I can feel the difference in healing even one day later. I can’t imagine going anywhere else now!

Charlotte was amazing throughout the entire process! Booked an appointment to browse jewelry and she was so informative about choosing jewelry for my specific anatomy and really gave me insight for different options on what piercing I could get. I booked an appointment with her in the same week and she was super humorous, encouraging, awesome at making the client feel at ease. Overall amazing experience!

Charlotte is always amazing! It's my go-to piercing spot. The jewelry is a bit more on the expensive side but it's worth the investment if you find aesthetic important. They have many beautiful options.

Back for my second trip to Vanity Inc to replace the jewelry in both my piercings. What a professional!! Friendly, knowledgeable and they provide great customer service. Big shout out to Tine, my piercer, who took the time to go through all my questions and, explain all my options guided me to make the right choices. I even got an appointment the same day I called!! Highly recommended.

Alex was so great! He got me exactly what I was looking for. The space is spotless and so much care was put into my appointment, even though it was just a jewelry change. Will definitely go back for any new piercings.

My twelve-year-old daughter and I had such a positive experience getting pierced by Charlotte! She was so warm and welcoming, and put both of us at ease right away. She was very thorough and precise when deciding where exactly to pierce us (lobes for kiddo, helix for me), working with our own unique anatomy while leaving the option open for future piercings. The actual procedure itself was so quick with minimal fuss. Thank you Charlotte and Vanity for such an empowering experience.
