Roni is the…read moreperson that did my piercings I really enjoyed the service and our company was great very non judgemental.

I went tonight without an appointment. I was extremely nervous going into the shop, as I hate needles and I've only had my ears pierced once before, but as soon as I met Roni (who has the most interesting collection of facial tattoos and piercings, and his eyeballs are tattooed black! whew!) I instantly felt better. Roni made the whole process quick and (practically) painless. My wait time was around 20 minutes tops, and it cost £25 for my nose piercing. The atmosphere of the shop was busy busy busy, with loud upbeat music playing and a tattoo machine buzz in the background. After waiting, Roni took me to the back and was calm the whole time, asking me about myself and talking about life in London. It definitely helped relax me, and for that I'm grateful. He was very patient and gave me time to decide exactly where I wanted the stud to be. Everything was clean and sterile. I was done within 10 minutes - Roni really knows his stuff (I think he said he's been in the business for a decade or so?). I would definitely come back here for any other piercings/tattoos.

    Botched tragus piercing due to improper jewelry used…read more I got my tragus pierced pierced here as I've had other piercings done here previously. I've always felt it was a reputable studio and was pleased with the service. However, this experience has been traumatic and frankly awful. I chose my bar (a plain titanium silver bar) and was taken to get the piercing done. It was really quick and not painful - I was given care instructions. However within 48 hours, the pain was too much (my whole jaw was aching and the side of my face was swollen) and my tragus ballooned up to the point that yesterday evening I noticed that I couldn't feel the 'back' of my earring anymore. I realised that it must have embedded; perhaps the bar was too short? and I had no alternative but to remove the piercing. Well... turns out that was rather a horrible ordeal because I pulled out the bar from front to back - no doubt causing trauma to my piercing. I was horrified to see that the bar did not have a typical flat backing - instead it had a tiny diamond jewel. I contacted the studio immediately on facebook and told them what happened and that I thought the wrong type of jewelry was used. They apologised a bit, the owner of the studio even said "yes looking from the pictures I agree with you" (i have attached a photo of the bar they used, alongside a hideous photo of my ear skin growing over the tragus piercing from the back). The owner, Barbara was apologetic and keen to resolve the issue, which I appreciate. However, I went to the shop this evening, and the piercer didn't apologise. Not even once. She was adamant that it was the correct type of jewelry and safe to use. 1. I did not pay or choose a diamond jewel bar. They also use externally threaded jewelry, which is an AVOID anyway. 2. the diamond side was inside my ear, and therefore far too small to be used. It was basically asking to get embedded at this point. The 'head piercer' who botched my ear offered to put in a new bar, but I took it home and said I would do it myself as I don't trust them. They condescendingly said I wouldn't be able to get it in by myself (which I did in fact manage). I did receive a full refund, but frankly the fact they didn't even acknowledge any wrong doing is upsetting to me. I've had many piercings before (body and ears) and had no issues with healing them. Unfortunately I would not recommend them for piercings and they've sadly lost a customer. I can't comment on the tattoo experience here, it's probably better - and management is OK. Just need better customer care from the piercing team and also better training standards.

I mistakenly said I wanted a tragus at first & he was so nice when it came to helping me figure out what it was I actually wanted. He also worked with my crooked nose to get the septum piercing as straight as possible! The actual piercings went very smoothly. Really friendly atmosphere & very clean. Would 100% recommend!!

There was no privacy as I was pierced with other strangers. ADDITIONALLY - how incredibly petty and unprofessional are their replies to the bad reviews on GOOGLE REVIEWS? How are you (the tattoo company) calling the people who leave reviews you don't like - "judgemental" "spiteful" and telling them off for leaving public reviews. I have never seen a business do this before - for those of you who don't believe me just look at their responses to bad reviews and personally see how unprofessional and petty and straight up RUDE their responses are. It's honestly kind of entertaining. Looking forward to their response to this review - can't wait to be told how I am spiteful and judgemental and how dare I leave a bad public review and how it's their right to respond rudely to my review! EDIT: they left a response essentially calling me liar, assuming I'm underage and that I have some agenda to bring down the store. Thank you for beautifully proving my original point - your responses are rude, petty and unprofessional. The irony of trying to invalidate my opinion by calling me underage when you, I'm assuming an adult owner of the store, are acting responding so childishly to me and everyone who tried to leave a constructive criticism

    A great place to get a piercing. Edyta gives good advice and there is a great atmosphere in the…read moreshop. Not excessive prices, either.

    I came here to get my nose stud changed. I'd had it pierced a year ago at a well-known piercing…read moreshop in Central London but it had never fully settled, so I thought I'd try somewhere else to change the jewellery (and ask for a second opinion on how the piercing itself was faring). I chose Stotker as it's local to me and had really good reviews. I am *so* glad I came here. The piercer, Edyta, greeted me warmly and took me through to her studio. I'd brought my own stud, an internally threaded labret like the one I'd been pierced with but with a smaller gem. As soon as she saw it, Edyta expressed concern. She advised against wearing a labret in a nose piercing as they are so hard to keep clean, meaning you have to root around with a cotton bud and just keep irritating the piercing. I was so relieved to hear this, as it's exactly what I'd been experiencing - and we had a really good and frank chat about it. She suggested I try a nose screw with a tiny gem and a narrow gauge, explaining why it would be better for me, and I was convinced enough to go for it. She gave me a big selection to choose from. She gently unscrewed my labret (apologising as it was irritated and bled a bit) and inserted the nose screw. Despite the angry bump by my piercing, I was delighted with the dainty gem and felt I *finally* had what I had wanted. Edyta advised saline solution twice a day for two weeks, and guaranteed (with impressive conviction!) that the piercing would finally settle down. A week and a half later, and I can say she was dead right. I am completely thrilled to finally have the beautiful piercing I'd imagined when I'd first decided to get it done, and only wish I'd come to this great local studio in the first place. I've wanted other piercings but my experience with my nose put me off; now I feel curious again and will definitely come here next time :) And a word of wisdom - *don't* get your nose pierced with a labret stud. It's not fun doing saline soaks on a swollen red piercing twice a day for an entire year. Including on holiday. :/
