The customer service is always amazing at Urban Piercings I honestly would never go anywhere else. Today I was looked after by Ben who is so extremely professional, super friendly and down to earth and really gentle during the whole process which makes me less nervous and comfortable making it a really great experience x

I had such a great time today, I was a little nervous for my nose piercing after almost 20 years since my last piercing but was made to feel really at ease- thank you for such a great experience. I will be back!

I came in for a jewellery change and this place never disappoints. The choice of jewellery is great, there is something for everyone. I went with a lovely hoop earring for my helix replacement. At the appointment I received advice and recommendations about the jewellery and the change was very professional and hygienic. I was given advice about how to care for my new piercing. Overall had a great experience. Thank you. I will always choose Urban Piercings :)

The best place to go for piercings! I’ve been going there for well over 20 years and I’ve had my fair share of piercings. Every visit has been perfect! I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

10/10. The lady who helped me find a white gold earring I loved, was so so lovely, friendly, helpful and kind. My cartridge piercing was done by Eliza, who was absolutely amazing, very patient, kind, explained everything and she was incredibly competent, I’m super happy with my piercing! Everything was great, the studio is lovely and very clean. I’m already thinking what piercing I’m going to get next at Urban Piercings. 😃

I had a great experience today getting my conch piercing done. I’d had my other conch pierced a few years ago and remembered it being quite painful but today was fine! I was also very impressed with the variety of earrings available as well

Excellent service. Everyone I interacted with was very helpful and gave me their honest opinions. I went in for a daith piercing, but my left daith was too small for it. Ben discussed all the possibilities with me and I finally decided to go for the rook. I absolutely love it, even more than the daith. Ben was amazing, very professional, he explained everything that he was doing from start to finish and made sure that I felt comfortable and at ease as he pierced my ear.

We had an amazing experience at Urban Piercing. Ben was fun and engaging and was also clearly knowledgable and a pro which was reassuring for my nervous friend. We had a fab time and our piercings look incredible. Definitely the only place I will be going to and recommending.

My 8yo daughter was having needle lobe piercing after her piercings 6 months ago done by gun at a high street, had closed following a healed infection. Although the gun had been fine for her, a friend recommended needle piercing as less traumatic to the tissues. The bedside manner of the artist was fantastic, took time and explained everything clearly, really reassuring for her. She did find the needle piercing more painful in the moment, but found the manner of the artist so warm and kind that she said for her next earlobe piercing she would prefer to return here. Thanks so much!

Popped in with no appt on Sat and 5-10 mins later chatting with my fav piercer Evie! I was having 3 small piercings popped in my lobe just above my 2 archaic piercings (done when is 11 and 15). A bit of blue ink later, some mild swearing from me (low pain threshold) and I have a sparkly ear lobe. She also checked on my Helix piercing done a couple of years ago - cheers Evie :) Back again soon i think for a couple more ;) B

Pierced by the amazing Ben, who has done a number of my piercings over the years. As always, Urban Piercings is the ONLY place I will let touch my piercings. All staff are brilliant and create a calm, friendly and sterile environment, and will always help you put your mind at ease, especially if you're a little nervous. Their online booking system was simple and effective, having paid a deposit online and the rest there. They also offered a great range of jewellery and were able to give sound and professional advice on the type that would fit your anatomy. Aftercare can be purchased. 10/10

From booking my appointment to the end result of having both ears pierced (for the first time!), I have nothing but good to say about UP! The staff were very welcoming and helpful, and my appointment with Ben, was excellent! Ben was so friendly and easy to talk to, all the while talking me through the process step by step - throughout the appointment I felt that I was in expert hands and my expertly placed, first ever earlobe piercings is proof of that! I couldn't have asked for a more positive experience, or a nicer person - thank you Ben 😊

We travelled from Cambridge after reading reviews. Honestly couldn’t have had a better experience. My friend had a dermal by Ben and I had. A conch piercing with Eliza, the most friendly, hygienic and knowledgable piercing studio I have been to - week worth the 2.5 hr drive!

Excellent as always! Me and my daughter had nose piercings earlier this year with Urban Piercings and then had a change of jewellery there yesterday. Always extremely helpful and great advice if you need it. Couldn't recommend them enough!

I’ve had many ear piercings done here over the span of 5-6 years and I am always impressed with how kind and friendly the staff are. The shop is clean and well kept and all the appropriate hygiene procedures are followed. I would absolutely recommend this shop

My 14 year old had her second lobes done. Ben was amazing with her. She was a bit apprehensive about having a needle piercing, but Ben reassured her. The piercing was done quickly, very professionally and looks great! Thanks Ben! 😊

Great visit to get my daughters ears re-pierced. The staff was fantastic, and Eliza explained everything as she went through the process and made my daughter feel very comfortable. Would recommend Urban Piercings whether you are going for your first piercing or are a seasoned visitor.

Excellent experience as always. Eliza was very clear in what was happening with my daughter's (13) 2nd ear piercing, every step, hygienic (changed her surgical gloves twice), friendly, supportive, polite. I genuinely love getting my piercings here, my daughters and I all had ours done and we would never hesitate to recommend. Keep up the awesome work guys!

My 11 year old daughter had her ears pierced today, and I had my helix pierced. An absolutely brilliant experience, everyone was so friendly. Evie was so nice, it was the most pain free piercing I’ve ever had, highly recommended.

I have been having such terrible trouble getting my nose piercing to heal completely and Eliza was just so kind - both in emails and in person. I’ve been to Urban a handful of times through the years and at no point whatsoever can I fault any of the experiences I have had.

I got my ear lobes re-pierced after almost two years of no earrings, and the ends had closed up. I was super nervous about re-piercing after reading some ambiguous advice online, but Eliza talked me through the entire session and was super kind and professional. I was also able to buy the aftercare solution in-store which was very convenient.

Brilliant! Couldn’t have asked for more Ben, Exceeded any and all expectations and I can’t express how happy I am with the piercing itself. I’d heard a lot of good things about Ben so expectations were high but those good things said don’t do him justice. Incredible piercer.

Came in to get a snug but my ear anatomy wasn’t right, Evie was SO helpful at advising me what to get and so patient while i decided what to do instead. Came out with a super cute piercing and piece of jewellery! 🫶
