Best Ear Piercing near me in New Inn, Pontypool

This is probably the best piercing experience I’ve ever had! Georgia was a unfazed queen from the jump and I immediately felt I could relax and totally trust her judgement and experience; I’m very happy with my additional lobe piercings!! I have some fairly decent ear piercing real estate to use and Georgia is the first piercer to chat to me about the possibilities and potentials…If Georgia reads this, thank you for celebrating my ears, I will be back to adorn them with more jewellery!

Wonderful experience this morning with Tom and Emily, who both pierced my 5 year olds ear lobes. Tom pierced my tragus. The shop is professional and fabulously decorated. Piercing rooms were clean, could see chairs had been cleaned down, and the entire process explained from start to finish. My daughter didn’t flinch, and was completely at ease. Emily was lovely. Tom and my little girl had great rapport 🙂 We are both super happy with our piercings today and would recommend to anyone who asks!

Georgia was wonderful with my 6 year old girl for her first ear lobe piercings. I would highly recommend having any piercing here as it’s such a calm and welcoming studio. Thank you so much! A lovely experience for a first-timer.

Took my 8 hear old to get her ears pierced. Yom was bubbly, friendly and explained every step clearly. He was careful with the piercings. Would recommend Tom to anyone getting piercings and especially children, hes really good with them. Thankyou!

Very clean tidy looking shop. Best experience i’ve had in a piercing shop so far. Tom who done the piercings was very friendly and respectful, ensured it was clean and cleaned after it was pierced. Would definitely go again. Thank you!

Tom and Kate were absolutely amazing. They made both girls feel at ease. Tom was talking to our girls keeping them occupied and calm when they had their ears pierced. They were both amazing. I wouldn't go anywhere else now and definitely would recommend anyone for a piercing to go here. Thank you so much for making their experience a memorable one.

My little boy had his ear pierced today and he’s absolutely delighted with his new piercing. Lauri was very welcoming and talked him through the whole process, I was honestly surprised how calm smooth the whole experience was! Thank you for making my little boy’s day 🤍

Absolutely fantastic. My daughter is a 19 year old autistic girl. She struggles Enormously with trust and sensory issues. She has always wanted her ears pierced since a little girl but has never been able to go threw with it . Lauri and Tom was amazing with her .She relaxed straight away and was told step by step what was going to happen. I highly recommend Empress piercing. My daughter has has been given so much confidence. Can't thank Lauri and Tom enough.

Such a positive experience! I was nervous! My daughter (8yrs) has been asking to have her ears pierced for the last two years. I questioned if she was too young, would she cope with the after care, would she be overwhelmed with the process, would she panic and not be able to carry on after the first ear. Of course all of that is possible, but what was great, was that had that of happened, Lauri and the other staff would have just dealt with it. They were welcoming, friendly, kind and most of all so knowledgeable. Lauri was fantastic and passionate about what she does, I 100% recommend.

Thank you to Georgia for being so kind and doing a wonderful job with my ear lobe piercing

Excellent! My daughter had her belly button pierced and a few months ago, her ears. Both times Georgia was fantastic, explaining everything, very patient, great choice of jewellery. Aftercare advice given and we bought the spray to keep the piercing clean etc.

Friendly, professional staff, spotlessly clean and private piercing rooms. Thrilled with our visit, couldn't have asked for better service. My 14 yo daughter is really happy with her ear piercings and they look great. Less redness and irritation than you get with a gun piercing too.

Great, she made my daughter feel much less worried about getting her ears pierced

Georgia was excellent, fab with my 9 year old who was having her 2nd lobe piercing (but first time with needle), everything clean and sterilised . Made my experience with Daith piercing easy also. 10/10 x

Jul 19, 2026

We had a lovely experience. My daughter was very nervous and wasn’t sure if she wanted her ears pierced, but the two members of staff were so patient, kind, and reassuring. Highly recommend!

Jul 12, 2026

Adele was amazing. Booked to have my daith pierced but unfortunately my ear was to small for her to carry out the pericing. She was completely honest and truthful with me! Instead I chose a lovely tragus pericing wich she kindly helped me put in as my tragus hole had slightly closed up due to not having jewellery in it for many years. Highly recommend. All the girls was welcoming on arrival and was made to feel really comfortable and at ease. Will definitely be back!

I took my little girl to get her ears pierced, she was very nervous. Emily and Tom were amazing with her! Friendly, calm, caring and highly professional! They made the whole experience fantastic! Would highly recommend!

I didn't have an appointment, I just walked in to have a jewellery change on helix piercings. I asked if they could do a conch piercing for me as well. Emily was so gentle and reassuring. They have always been so professional at Empress, I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Feb 11, 2026

Georgia was brilliant re-piercing my wonky ear lobe piercings. Really kind and reassuring and now I have lovely level piercings!! Highly recommend, they were great when my daughter had her ears pierced too.

Jul 9, 2026

Emily did my daughter’s ear lobe piercings and as a scared 10 year old having her ears pierced for her birthday…….I could not have asked for a better person to do the piercings. Emily was kind, compassionate, caring and so reassuring to my daughter (and then me when I got a daith) that it really made the experience ‘enjoyable’ . The perfectionist in Emily ensuring the dots were lined up well was another green flag that I had chosen the right place! The crab dance was the icing on the cake 🤣🤣 thank you all but especially Emily!!

May 16, 2026

I really really like this place, I had my second lobes pierced last time and had a helix today. They're really good and knowledgeable. I've had cartilage piercings from other places that havent been so good. Today when I had my ear done. She was really knowledgeable, asked me if I wanted to put a hoop in it in future, advised on the best placement in the ear, best aftercare and suggested to go back in 6-8 weeks and they'll change the bar for me. Such a great piercing shop! Definitely recommend coming here for any piercing.

Took my daughter to have her ears pierced for the first time with Lauri and Adele and they were excellent with her; before the actual piercing Lauri told/showed my daughter exactly what was going to happen and this was also communicated during the actual piercing. 100% recommend Empress Piercings and wouldn’t go anywhere else. My daughter loves her beautiful opal studs that she chose :) thank you so much!

Jul 20, 2025

I’ve came to empress for all of my piercings so far, (1st and 2nd lobe piercings) Lauri has pierced me both times and she is so kind. I have pretty bad anxiety and needles scare me and she knew exactly what to say! Made me feel so comfortable. I definitely recommend empress piercing, all staff are lovely and you’ll always have a great experience in there. I’ll definitely get any future piercings there!

Feb 25, 2025

My daughter has been asking for her ears pierced for a while but I was a little worried, as I knew it would hurt her. We finally bit the bullet and had them done. Lauri who done the piercing was absolutely amazing, she really reassured my daughter who was upset after having the first ear done. She was also very supportive of myself as she could see I was a little overwhelmed. Fantastic experience at Empress piercing Cwmbran. Would definitely recommend

My Daughter had her ears pierced for the first time today and I couldn’t rate Tom and Emily enough! They both explained everything really well to my daughter and made her feel at ease. She didn’t even flinch when the piercings happened. She is very pleased with her piercings. Thank you very much!

Jul 18, 2026

Tom was amazing. My daughter had her eyebrow pierced . Tom explained every step of the process and gave aftercare advice. He went above and beyond with recommending fake piercings for my 12 year old who is desperate to start her piercing journey ! Thanks Tom

Love Empress Piercing in Cwmbran, today I was pierced by Georgia and couldn't fault her for her help with picking jewellery and placement of piercings!!
