Services
The cost of a piercing ranges with the jewellery you chose to be pierced with and can fluctuate with what stock we have in at any given moment. Our piercing fee ranges from 20 - 75 depending on the piercing. We have lots and lots of jewellery to chose from including 14k & 18k gold, implant grade titanium and niobium, as well as borosilicate glass and many other options.
All our staff are highly trained, we have five UKAPP piercers and two knowledgable apprentices dedicated to providing you with the best possible experience and piercing care. We offer a walk-in service for body piercing, 7 days a week. Just make sure you have had something to eat and if you are lucky enough to look under 21, bring some photographic identification.
Wherever you choose to get pierced, we care about you doing it safely! We hope the following information is helpful. Should you have any questions or concerns relating to any body piercing - whatever the cause, or whoever the practitioner - please don't hesitate to come and see us! We'll help if we can!
Remember that healing times vary with the type and position of the piercing, and can vary significantly from person to person depending upon a variety of factors such as lifestyle, movement and your overall health. Please do not remove or replace the initial piercing jewellery until it is fully healed aside from returning to the studio at the time advised by your piercer for your essential downsize.
It is vital that you understand the differences in piercing jewellery materials and quality to make sure you are not risking your long-term health, and also risking your appearance (some materials can permanently discolour the skin or cause a nasty reaction which can lead to extensive scarring). Do manufacturers or suppliers really vary that much?

I got my tongue pierced here, and it was quick and didn't hurt more than it should! All the staff are absolutely lovely, there's a wonderful selection of jewelry, and if you have any worries or social concerns, this is hands down the best place for you to be. Also a big thanks to everyone who helped me when I nearly fainted! Nobody's fault of course, but they couldn't have handled the situation better. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking.

Cannot fault these guys. I was getting a piercing. Totally professional from start to finish . Completed the health questionnaire. The guy doing the piercing stepped through what he was going to do and asked if i had any questions. Even when I was sat waiting, the staff were very professional with other customers in terms of what they can do what they cannot do. Totally professional. The process itself was very quick with aftercare discussed. I will certainly be back for my next piercing.

Had a fantastic service from Holier Than Now for my nostril piercing. Super helpful in picking out my beautiful stud and really caring front of house staff when I was a bit nervous. Kitty was quick and almost painless doing my piercing and super professional. Planning more visits.

Amazing! All the staff are lovely, I'm terrified of needles and they took it seriously and made sure I was comfortable waiting and during the piercing. High quality earings and due to me not realising they had… a student discount and being unable to use my discount they gave me some piercing cleaning fluid on the house. Definitely recomend and I'll definitely be going back at some point

Absolutely loved my experience here, I was recommended this shop by a piercer in Belgium and am really glad I went to them. Everyone was so helpful and absolutely lovely. I was pierced by Kitty and she really reassured me throughout, I had my tragus, conch and rook pierced and I had told Kitty I was a bit scared about the tragus piercing so she talked me all the way through it and really put me at ease. And they have such a big range of jewellery to choose from, I was in awe when I walked in!

I had my conch done by Marc today and it was a fantastic experience. There is a wide choice of jewellery and the staff were very knowledgeable when I asked about choosing a new piece for my daith as well.… Everything is explained in detail and the cleanliness was second to none. The online booking system is simple and I can’t wait to visit again to a) downsize my jewellery and b) get my next piercing.

Had a great experience at Holier than Thou. Staff were really helpful with picking out my nose piercing and checking I was ok, think they saw I was a little nervous. Kitty is an amazing piercer, hardly felt… anything when she pierced my nose and was so professional I felt really safe. I’ve another piercing booked and planning more after that.

I went to Holier Than Thou yesterday for my septum piercing, after wanted it done for 10 years but being too scared of needles! However the whole team were amazing, being really helpful with my choices of jewellery and it was such a chilled atmosphere. Marcus did my piercing and he was the loveliest guy! He made me feel completely relaxed, made me laugh and finished my piercing within seconds, with as little pain as possible! I couldn’t be happier with my septum piercing and would 100% recommend going here! 🖤

Came with my very nervous sister in law as moral support and left with the cutest high nostrils piercings. Everyone in the shop itself were all so helpful and friendly. Extremely easy to talk to and particularly put my sister at ease. She had three lobe piercings by Marcus who was lovely. I was pierced by the wonderful Kitty. It was busy but we weren't made to feel rushed while we chose our jewelry from the huge selection and we felt very safe regarding covid regulations.
I've been coming here for almost ten years and couldn't recommend it more. They are all so knowledgeable, kind and you couldn

I had 2 helixes done by Sage, the online booking system was straight forward to use. It was Sage that did my piercings, and she was very informative about the cartilage piercings and healing aftercare, she reassured me and kept me relaxed throughout the whole process.
The place is very clean and professional.
Highly recommended for sure.

Wonderful place. I had my helix pierced, I was made to feel so at ease I barely felt it. Everything was so professional, friendly and personable right from the start. Recommendations on jewellery, thorough explanation as to what will happen, good after care information. I asked advice on other piercings, particularly with me having very small ears, and I was given very good advice to give me realistic expectations. I will definitely be having my other piercings here.
