Best Ear Piercing near me in Cathays, Cardiff

Went in with a friend and ended up getting a piercing as well! Morgan was so warm and welcoming and down to earth! Amazing service! First time in the Cardiff Branch! I always recommend Empress to anyone considering getting a piercing!

Very friendly, spotless and knowledgeable. Michelle knows her stuff and was great. Love my new piercings and will be back x

Amazing experience at the new Cardiff shop. Courtney did a fantastic job with my seven year old daughter. The shop is clean and incredibly professional. We’ll definitely be back! 🙌🏽❤️

Took my son for his first piercing. Michelle was very professional and has very high standards of cleanliness. Everything was explained and put my son at ease. Excellent customer service. He's already planning what he wants next and we wouldn't go anywhere else.

Morgan was absolutely fantastic during my third lobe piercings appointment today - she was really clear and reassuring and allowed me to be picky with placement and my choice of jewellery without hassle! The piercing itself was extremely smooth, fast, and almost pain free, with no discomfort at all in the hours after! Best piercing to date and I'll definitely be heading back to Morgan for my next appointment (as soon as I've worked out what to have next!). Thank you so much Morgan for making the whole experience so fab! 🫶🏻

I got my vertical labret pierced a month ago and I’m so glad I went through with it! The shop was super clean and the piercer made me feel relaxed and informed throughout the process. The piercing itself was quick—just a sharp pinch and some pressure, then it was over. I would definitely recommend empress and will be going back for more piercings.

Morgan and Courtney were excellent, especially when preparing my 8 year old daughter for her ear piercings. They took time to explain everything carefully to her and checked that she was happy with every stage before proceeding. I would highly recommend this team!

Jade gave me a floating navel piercing Monday and the experience was amazing!! She gave me lots of information about aftercare which I haven’t had elsewhere. It was also a super calm environment, even through I was getting pierced <33

Morgan was absolutely amazing. It was my little one’s first piercing (ears) she’s explained everything step by step to make sure Delilah knew exactly what was happening and when. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and empress !!!

She was really lovely, really patient and helped calm my nerves. Took the time to make sure my piercing was in the right place, didn’t feel rushed at all. Would love to be pierced by her again! :-)

I got my nose pierced today and had the BEST time! Morgan was so patient with me (I’m seriously so indecisive 😭). I’m so grateful for such an amazing experience, everything was done with total professionalism, and I felt completely comfortable the whole time. I absolutely love my new piercing and couldn’t be happier! 💖✨

Wonderful place. Very calming & aesthetically pleasing. The staff are a lovely bunch of smashers, friendly, calming, polite & really helpful with assisting where piercings would look good. I had Leah & she was just fab & Morgan was there & she is a reel darling. Had Conch & Flat x 2 & also a replacement for a year old piercing that I had been unable to remove. Would definitely advise those of you looking for piercings wherever on you bod to definitely go to Empress Piercings ❤️

Getting my belly button re-pierced was much easier than I had thought. The team was friendly and very helpful. The piercing was efficiently done, thank you.

Always reliably amazing. Morgan is super cool and helped me out again with my conch and love piercing. I needed the conch put back in and no problem. Super friendly and down to earth. Chose to replace my daith and helix too (forget their name)! Also helped my teen with their piercing - they needed to take out their piercing. It's always a pleasure to go to Wellfield road or any Empress store. My ears are clean, got new look and feeling good. Thank you!
