Best Tattoo Shops near me in Reading

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!

No better place in Reading to get a piercing imo 😊 Ben and the front of house staff are great and really helpful for suggestions in new piercings when you say you are looking for something new or different.

Ben was simply excellent in his approach and explanation of the procedure. He encouraged me to feel relaxed during the appointment and answered my questions fully about after-care, healing time and when I might explore the option of changing the jewellery in a few months' time. All in all, a true professional with sensitivity and humour who I look forward to meeting again in the future.

I had an issue with my lip piercing, the area became irritated after 4 months of good healing. I popped in to the studio to get it checked out. The team were great, and Eliza swapped the jewellery to help the piercing settle, which has sorted the issue. Great team, I would definitely recommend.

She was so nice and really talkative (in a good way) she really made me feel ok about getting the piercing and I wasn’t scared after she talked to me thank you!!!! From Molly aged 11

I had my septum re-pierced today, and I am so happy!! The person working on reception was lovely and welcoming (sorry I didn’t catch their name), and Eliza who did my piercing was incredible. They listened and helped make sure my piercing was exactly what I wanted it to be, so friendly and knowledgable. I will never go anywhere else for my piercings, the team are incredible. Thank you!

Mulțumesc

Absolutely outstanding experience today with Evie, Claire and the entire team. Was made to feel so comfortable and reassured for my first ever piercing at 59. Can not recommend Urban Piercing Reading enough 👍🏻😊

amazing! got my ear lobes done by ben at 3.2mm and the experience was very chilled out and welcoming, everyone here is so lovely and professional. i wouldn't go anywhere else in reading for my piercings.

Evie was absolutely brilliant with my daith piercing; so professional but warm and friendly, explained everything as she went as well as aftercare. I've previously had my flat pierced here too which healed really nicely, I've used other piercers in Reading but definitely think Urban Piercings is the best by far.
