For anyone else with a needle phobia excessively reading reviews like I was: GET YOUR (nose) PIERCING DONE! Just do it! It was super fast and the pain is NOT as bad as you'd expect, just a tiny pinch as it goes in. You'll be done before you know it and be super happy with the result! :)
I got my first proper piercing done here in October (nostril stud) and as I have a needle phobia, I was incredibly nervous (I stood outside contemplating for at least half an hour before I went in lol).
I was welcomed and the whole vibe of the place was really chill and nice. Filled in a question form and as I

What a great place!! Had a fab experience with Corrie for my first tattoo, and Lottie for a daith piercing. Both made me feel so at ease and were amazingly friendly and easy to talk to, along with everyone else… working there! It is a clean, safe and open environment and I got great aftercare advice. I travelled a fair distance to go to Timebomb and you guys did not disappoint! Will definitely be back 🙌🏻👍🏻

Went there for my first tattoo, early September - the staff were so lovely and friendly. My artist explained everything, went nice and slow for me and told me what to expect. All the staff are so considerate and bubbly, made me feel so at ease. Will defo be going back for more! Pricing is very fair and the quality of work is phenomenal - clean studio too.

My friend and I got a couple of tattoos from Corrie the other day and the whole experience was brilliant, from how friendly and approachable the owner was, to how lovely, friendly, funny and talented Corrie was. The whole experience was just really great to be honest. I couldn’t recommend Timebomb enough. We both also really love our new tattoos. We’ve both said the next time we’re in London, we’d definitely have to go back there

Probably the best piercers in South London without a doubt. 100% professional, friendly and will always make you feel comfortable. I have around 7 piercings, nose and ear all of which have been done by Time bomb Croydon over the past 5 years. Even if I want my jewellery replaced, I go back to time bomb and they have no problem helping me insert new jewellery. So friendly! They're awesome. If you're thinking about getting a piercing done, trust me and take my word for it. These people will take care of you.

Absolutely amazing experience, had a nipple piercing around a few years back and lovely lady that assured me I’d be fine, and went back a few months ago and she even changed the bar for me and helped me pick out new one! Very clean and friendly 😊

Had my first ever piercings and had a great experience at Timebomb. Greeted by a very friendly receptionist, and Lottie was my piercer. Lots of jewellery choice and a really reasonable price. Absolutely lovely piercer, helped me choose my jewellery and helped me through my nerves! Very clean, fresh needles and clean environment. Great communication and after care instructions. Couldn't have asked for a better experience, thank you so much Lottie, I love my piercings.

I do have to say this is by far my best tattoo shop ever. I’ve had such an amazing time having my tattoo done. Kina (hopefully I’m spelling her name correctly) is such an amazing tattooist. She too the time and effort to meet exactly what I needed and suggested some little points where it could make it unique and outstanding. I do have to say. Even though I’m now living 200+ miles away, I will for sure come down in November just to have the rest of my tattoos done by her. She’s honestly got an eye for detail. I totally recommend her and the shop. Time bomb is also great for advice too,

I could not have been happier with the service I received. I came in on a weekday during a break and was able to be seen straight away. The reception staff were super friendly, as was my excellent tattooist Simon. He was great at consulting me on the design of my script and where to position it. He was also very gentle when physically doing the design and made me feel comfortable. The price was also reasonable. I would thoroughly recommend Timebomb Tattoo!
