Can anyone recommend a reputable body-piercing studio in Sheffield or preferably Rotherham? It's very unlikely that I will actually get anything done (I'm thinking of getting my tongue pierced), but just in case I do surprise myself, it would be nice if I at least knew where to go.
Thanks in advance!

theres a place called Feline Tattoo they do piercings aswell ment to be very clean i know alot of people who have had piercings and tattoos there and are realy happy with them. Its just off eccy road on 8 Hickmott Road TEL: (0114) 266 1817 website is http://www.fionalong.co.uk/ best place in sheffield i would say

Im curious (and this isnt necessarily addressed to the OP) but what is the attraction of a tongue piercing?

Iths stho people cantht underssthand whath you say

I can also vouch for Feline!
also, I had my tongue pierced 3 years ago and I don't notice it anymore... it does feel strange when I take it out though...

www.danaid.com
is essential reading for all would-be piercees
...speaking as a woman with several of her own

You've took the words right outta my mouth LouiseB!! I've read that website a few times after Dan's aunty told me about him. Fair enough, his illness may have contributed but sad none the less.

Don't you get food stuck in the hole?

I have visited the www.danaid site, and of course, it has made me think.
It's quite scary to think that the studio in question could still be open??

Well, when i eat sherbert it kinda sticks to it..! apart from that, no!

Well, I met a girl in the pub the other day with a tongue piercing, so i thought id do some of my own research. So i asked her why she decided on a tongue piercing, and (i think she had had a couple of drinks) she replied that it helped with fellatio :wow: (although not with spelling :o )

Unfortunately, id had a few drinks too, and before i could stop myself i said 'wierd, i never met a girl before who needed any help' (nice)

*tumbleweeds*

That didnt go down well at all:blush: ...exit stage left...

hey peeple!!

do any of you know any decent piercing studios in sheffield? i was concidering something, but i have recently heard things about the place where i have been before so i am wary of going there again.

ok then nvm i guess that answers that question thanks n e way

i also recommend feline had my tongue pierced about three years ago and my nipple two weeks ago. The lady who did it was so nice told me it would hurt but was worth it. Gave me her number if i had any problems which i havnt. Really good place any way no pressure at all, they are prepared to talk you throught he procedure. Need another tattoo soon and will definately go there. Good luck and the tongue doesnt hurt at all.

My ex-girlfriend used to do the piercings at Van Schaits (sp) in Hillsbrough and she was very good at what she did, I'd recommend it for the piercings.. I had both my tattoo's done there also.

Tongue pierced can be a good thing, and it's ok for the ears maybe once, and I'd even go as far as to saying I don't mind one nipple pierced, anymore and they start to look terrible.

so does tongue piercing hurt then? i know that belly button n ears n stuff dont but thts bout as far as i kno!

I can pierce ;-)

Id reccomend Feline as well, speaking as someone with more than his fair share of metal. And as for the "does it hurt" question...think about it. Someones about to stick a great big needle through your tongue. Do you really think its going to be painless? Of course it hurts. But the piercing is over with so quickly its more of a discomfort than actual pain.

eye, but dont u just do ears? lol.

Yep and thats bad enough! *bleurgh*

gud point, dont think i could do it!!! im wantin another one done in my ears but ill go wen ure not workin caprice, well ill try to! (or just go somewere else for a change!)

as for the whole piercing hurting thing i know it is gonna hurt but i just wondered how much it is gonna hurt. ant decided properly wether to get it done yet. my mum aint so happy bout it. actually shes well against it!

but ill go wen ure not workin caprice

Lol, I'm not THAT bad! I'm very professional I'll have you know!

haha, sorry i didnt reali mean it like tht (did i?) I'm sure you are very good at it!!

I got my eyebrow done about 2yrs ago in.. erm... a place in Rotherham... Devil Bitch or soemthing. Its still in so i guess it can't be that bad.

I got my belly button pierced in woodseats cant remember wher tho!

But I had a tattoo done at Tribal Tattoos on West street and they do piercings as well!

They were really good and friendly and also covered in piercings and tattoos which is reassuring to kno they would never do anything on you that they havnt tried out themselves! :D

You make it their business when you wave it in front of their face.
It quite distracting when you are trying to have a converstation and all you can see is a thing bobbling around inbetween the lips. But as you say you don't care anymore.

Well, for starters you can't actually see my tongue piercing when I'm talking (something that has been said to me numerous times by many people) unless I actually stick my tongue out my mouth - perhaps that's what you mean by "wave it in front of their face"? And whatever happened to good old eye contact during a conversation?

I suppose that really it's only as distracting as someone with a crooked nose, unusual glasses, garish lipstick or a huge hairy mole smack bang in the middle of their face. Would you comment on those to someone or accuse them of waving their crooked nose in your face in order to distract your attention? Even so, if I chose to wear blue lipstick that would not automatically make it your business just because you can see it, which is what your previous post is implying.

If you can't see past someone's physical appearance (good or bad) while talking to them, you don't deserve to have them stand there and listen to you.

And you're right - I *still* don't care anymore!

angel_b.....you're cool. :)

I personally think tongue piercings are nice. I don't have one myself and although I vaguely considered it about a year ago I'm not sure it'd suit me anyway. I do very much like the way they look though.

I once knew someone who had a double-ended tongue stud. One end was metal and the other was glo-in-the-dark. She used to stand with her tongue in front of a lightbulb for a few minutes before she went to the pub/club and in the dark her mouth was lit on the inside. Coooool. :D

Ha - thanks Pauly!

I'm sorry if that last post came across as a bit defensive, but unfortunately those of us with holes that nature didn't intend often have to be!

Me puts the boxing gloves away too. I was just trying to get a rise out of you. Sorry :wink:

Anyways, I finally went to Van Schaick's yesterday to get my right ear (helix) pierced. Good bunch of people, and nice environment. :thumbsup:

Ive just had my nipple done in Manchester/Leeds Piercing Studio in Leeds (on Saturday), hurt like hell but okay now. Not too far to go but they have certification. Just make sure wherever you go they have the correct certification is the best advice I can give.

Hate to burst your bubble, but there is no official certification for body piercers, unless you mean a local authority health inspection one, which the Leeds/Manchester piercing clinic have.

While these are still very good certificates to have, all it tells you is that the studio is clean - it doesn't have anything to do with the skill of the piercer, or the quality of jewellery and equipment they are using. There are actually very few local authorities who bother with this kind of thing, which means that this company is free to brag about having "the first official certificate as a skin piercer from Manchester's Department of Environmental Health and Consumer Protection".

As a result, there are also lots of excellent piercers out there who won't have such certification. It has been said that the standard of hygiene in the majority of piercing/tattoo studios is better than most hospitals, mainly because they have a lot more to lose. It's a shame more health authorities don't carry out these inspections, as I'm sure it would quickly get rid of some people who really didn't ought to be piercing and also give the good studios a chance to be "officially" recognised.

Paper isn't everything folks - I've got an awful lot of certificates and none of them are any bloody good!

Angel_b some lovely rhetoric there....

Yes you're right that the certificates are limited, but they do cover areas that are relevant (health & safety, first aid etc).

In absence of an overarching regulatory body to monitor all procedures and enforce accountability on all such piercing venues, then isn't the existance of these relevant certificates actually a good thing?

You're criticism of the area as a whole is valid, as is your wishful thinking; but to your average lay reader on here, who might be interested in getting a piercing, then I'm sure Jiggiley's comments were actually very pragmatic, and steeped in common sense....

I suppose that acupuncture is body-piercing of a sort, is it not?

It's just that I once knew someone who was into self-acupuncture. One day the police broke into his flat to find him dead on the floor with a javelin straight through his chest.

The coroner returned the verdict that he'd died of an overdose.

The main point I was trying to get across is that people should not think that a nice certificate on the wall of a studio equals a brilliant studio - it equals a clean studio and there's a big difference between the two. The average lay reader, not knowing too much about piercing could walk in, see all the pretty certificates and think they're safe. A piercing isn't something that should really be taken lightly, and you cannot base the experience on hygiene alone. That's why the OP did a great thing starting this thread - he asked for opinions and advice, which is probably the best way to find a piercer.

Case in point was my old piercer back in Doncaster. He had all these great certificates saying he'd done this course, passed this test etc... but the truth is there are no "tests", and when I looked into his "apprenticeship" certificate, I found it was actually a half day training course that any member of the general public could've done if they'd paid the cash. Would you want to hand over some of your most sensitive bits to be stabbed by someone with a half a days training? Now that I know better I wouldn't, and that knowledge certainly explained a few things about the piercings I had done there! I'm urging people to do some research before embarking on a body modification. Unfortunately, I've learned the hard way that walking into the first studio that looks ok isn't the best way to go about things!

I agree that local authority health certificates are great - I personally believe that every studio should be inspected regularly, and I also think that the industry needs some form of regulation to maintain standards and protect consumers. There is no real legislation regarding this at all, apart from the fact that it is illegal to tattoo minors.

Anyway - after a very long post, I guess what I was trying to say was that the certification mentioned is great, but still no indicator as to the skill or level of training of the piercer which is a very important point. Yes, they might be scrupulously clean, but can they pierce straight? Are they using the correct type and length of jewellery? Are they aware of the metal allergies that many people suffer from? Do they practise cross-contamination control? Is their autoclave tested regularly, and are they willing to display the results? How is their bedside manner?

I'm sorry ifor the length of all this and the fact that it probably all seems a bit OTT, but if it helps just one person I'll be happy!

As I said, your concerns are true, as are your wishes for the future, but yet again you're missing the point.

You're correct in that there is no certificate of professional competence, and also on the mark with saying how do you know how good people are. However, aside from your grand plans for the industry (that as yet haven't been adopted) then there's nothing to go by besides personal reports for the person that wants a piercing.

It sounds like your comments are simply trying to deter people from getting any piercing, anywhere. I'm afraid that if people will want to get a piercing, then they'll get one.

Of course a potential piercee could walk in to a studio and ask about all the questions you write (autoclave checking, tests for allergies etc), but as you offer no example of acceptable answers that the studios could give, then I'm afraid that the piercer could say anything and get away with it.

I think you need to live in the real world. Yes I agree that all those checks should be done, by an as yet inexistant regulatory body. At the moment however, offer people advice that will actually help them to decide WHERE to go and WHAT to look for. If you offer questions that should be asked, then provide learned model answers.

Absolutely not - I am very much pro-piercing. My x-rays (showing multiple piercings) done at Charles Clifford Hospital this morning provided a great source of amusement for all the staff, with one of the tutors even saying he was going to take it to his next lecture! I'm not trying to deter anyone from being pierced at all, and I find hard to see how you deduced that from my previous comments.

What I do hold my hands up to though, is trying to deter people from getting *bad* piercings.

Also true, but I think that here is where *you* miss *my* point. People should do some research before getting piercings - the information is out there for the taking. Online, there are particularly good resources such as www.bmezine.com and www.ukbodyart.org, various specialist magazines available in larger newsagents, and of course the good old word of mouth.

Having said that, if people are prepared to pay someone to perform what is essentially a medical procedure without knowing anything about it, they really get what they deserve. This happened to me, and is partly why I'm so keen to try and avoid it happening to others. Also, as I said earlier I'm very much pro-piercing and am keen to see the industry grow and become respected, which I don't think it currently is. Body modification has a bad enough image as it is - why should we make it worse by allowing crap studios to continue raking in money from those who don't know better? If people respect their bodies and educate themselves a little, these studios will soon lose a lot of custom.

You have some very valid points Lovedoctor, such as my "wishful thinking" regarding legislation of the industry but I think we will now agree to disagree as my posts are becoming longer and longer with each reply! Great debate though :D

I got my tongue done at Van Shaik's, the staff have a great sense of humour and put you well at ease. The piercing itself I didn't even feel, tho it hurt later on and I couldn't eat or speak properly for a week or so. I'd recommend them to anyone.
The Oasis centre in Birmingham is good too, although a little far away. I got my eyebrow done there and again would recommend them.
Got 4 BCRs in my ear too, but I got those done in the Castle Market about 15 years ago, I doubt the place is still there :)

Why thank you! ;) Like you've already said, getting a piercing is a major decison, and it pays to have all the facts before you. When I got mine done last week, the piercer said that he recently saw someone who got a piercing done in Turkey, AGAINST A WALL IN THE STREET! Oh dear! :loopy:

I stretched my septum to 00 gauge yesterday and I think I gave the lady in my sandwich shop a heart attack with the new 2 inch spike I have through it.

Bless her, I got extra bacon though ;)

Ooh, my septum is currently 2.4mm and after the performance of getting it there (*lots* of eye watering and swearing) I can assure you it ain't going any bigger!

I did a weeks worth of online research before I got my piercing. I went onto BMEzine and read a few user-written reviews about what had happened to them, got a couple of email addresses and tracked them down on MSN and also looked up a fair bit on aftercare as well. It pays to be prepared and it was certainly worth it.

Van Shaicks impressed me. :)

This is *exactly* what I was trying to get across in my previous posts (albeit not very well!) Look into what you're getting, do the research and it will undoubtedly turn into a positive and successful experience!

Piercings are gross! Plus if you have your tongue pierced you will probably end up with cracked tooth enamel from cracking it on your teeth.

The amount of total BS spread about by people is breathtaking. Tongue's been pierced 9 years, my teeth are lovely thanks.

If you don't like piercings, good for you - I suggest you don't have any. Personally I love 'em which is why I got them - for me.

Same for my tattoos, I can cover them up, I can show them off, its for ME.

Hello people!

I want to get my tongue pierced but don't know where to go in Sheffield?

Has anyone had their tongue pierced somewhere in Sheffield which they recommend?!

Cheers!

(prepares for the glut of "why would you want to do that" and "you shouldnt do that, itll fall off" type posts)...go to Feline on Hickmott road, just off Ecclesall road. Try searching this site for the words "piercing" and "tattoo". Its all been covered before.

Cheers!

I wouldn't mind finding out people's horror stories about how long they couldn’t eat for but I have no interest in knowing how it can kill or poison me!

Well, I had mine pierced twice. It heals pretty quickly but the pain and not being able to eat for a week was annoying, I was SO hungry.

The swelling lasts for about a week, in which time solid food is difficult, but not impossible. Youll be fitted with a long bar to accomadate the swelling, and when its gone down you go back to the piercer and they change it to something shorter. The swelling isnt what makes eating awkward, its the long bar. I managed on mashed potatos, apple sauce, and ice cream for a week. Lots of ice cream and ice lollies will help take the swelling down quicker.

i got my lip pierced at Eternal Ink. i found they were really good there, it's very clean and they tell you everything you need to know. the girl who did my lip was really nice, so yeah i recommend it there. they do lip piercing...although i cant remember how much.

their number is 0114 2493843
they're on 272 glossop road...good job i kept my leaflet :thumbsup:

hope that helps xx

whilst we are on the subject of piercings... has anyone here had their nipple pierced?? i would like to know about it if anyone is willing to tell me !!!

I had my nipple peirced about 4 years ago and have never had any trouble with it at all. It was done at Primal Piercing on West Street. They freeze it first so I didn't actually feel anything. It bleeds a bit but they put a dressing on it. After a while, the numbness wore off and it was a bit sore but nothing too painfull. It bled a bit when I first cleaned it but it soon settled down and I could take it out after a few weeks. It's never gone infected although it did weep a bit at first around the 'time of the month'. Couldn't be without it now!!

I also have my tongue pierced about 3 years ago and had that done at Pure Elements at the bottom floor in the Markets. Kay is very clean and professional and I have had other piercings done with her too. It bled a lot but healed very quickly. I lived on yoghurt, mashed potato and soup as the bar almost filled my entire mouth, it felt so big!! Had the big bar changed after 5 days and have never had any problems at all.

I went along with a friend when she had hers done - loudest piercing I have ever heard but she was fine straight afterwards - if a little bit hyper!

One thing to note with tongue piercings is because of the position of the the veins in the tongue not everyones tongue can take a piercing - go along to a reputable piercer (the two already mentionsed have good reputations) but in the unlikely event that they say they can't pierce your tongue don't go get it done on some dodgy backstreet place!

thanks FetishFairy! very helpful.. i think! just have to see if i have got the guts to do it now.. i wanted my tongue done but Cant have any visible piercings because of work and what my mum thinks. :( ah wel.

DAMN VEINS!!

Thanks for all the tips, but guess what?!

I just happen to be one of those unfortunate people who can’t get their tongue pierced because of my silly vein!

It’s not fair, I’m thinking maybe lip, but it's not quite so subtle!

Grr!

Content removed. :)

A bit of a ressurection of the thread - but I was wondering, does anyone know how much it is to get my helix pierced in one of the reputable piercers that's been mentioned in this topic?
I was in Mancheter yesterday and nearly got it done at the Manchester Piercing *whateveritscalled* and they were charging £10 for a ring and £15 for a bar, which is a bit cheaper than the place I was thinking about going to, I think it's £15-£20 there. I paid £28 to get my tragus done there, which I've been told was a bit expensive, so I was really up for getting done out of money, even though they were really good.

usually about £15-20 quid. And, when someones sticking needles into your body, cheap doesnt always equal good. Basically, you get what you pay for. Go to Feline on Hickmott Road, theyll see you right.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Obviously I don't want to go anywhere dodgy, I just don't want to over-pay. That sounds so contradicting!
I think I'll try there, because reading this thread, they seem the best place.

i had my nipple done 4ys ago in sheffield marketts and my friend had her tongue done there and had nothing but trouble with it so put me off a bit,,

but 2y ago i had my tongue done in ingoldmels at a shop called the black orcid in fantcy island it self..i was not in pain at all with it and but was told not many can have it done,as sometimes the vains in ur tongue are to close,lucky for me i had no bleeding at all and the woman that did it says that is very rare to happen so i was lucky,i had it done on a sunday the day befor i was due to go home..all sunday day/night all i eat and drank was nothing but slush drinks and wahed my mouth out with salt water 2twice a day,..by next morning it was a little better but i did feal a bit flu type syptoms comeing on,but by t-time i was able to eat and since then i had no problems,,my mate that had it done in sheff took her nearly 2months to be able to eat solid foods... think it all goes on how u take care affter..ither that or i heal very fast as you not able to change my 1st bar for over 6weeks ,but affter the 1st week i could change it.

a tongue piercing is one of the least painful piercings you can get:)

i agree with badhairdo ive had my tongue pierced now for over a year, had no problems with it whatsoever. only things what annoyed me is people staring at you like you are sum mad freak when you are talking to them, so all i do now is stick my tongue out at them and that soon stops them staring.

"One thing to note with tongue piercings is because of the position of the the veins in the tongue not everyones tongue can take a piercing - go along to a reputable piercer (the two already mentionsed have good reputations) but in the unlikely event that they say they can't pierce your tongue don't go get it done on some dodgy backstreet place!"

If you go to a skilled piercer there is no reason why veins would prevent you from having a tongue piercing. I have pierced lots of tongues with centre veins. Worst case scenario, you catch the vein, it swells instantly instead of over a period of two to three days and bleeds when you insert the jewellery, and takes a little longer to heal.

I dunno wether Badhairdo is a good piercer or not but Jane at Feline told me that she has refused to pierce some people with a centre vein in thier tongue. She has always come across as someone who cares more about the welfare of her customers rather than being the kinda person to do a piercing just for the money.
If you are thinking of getting any kind of piercing then follow the advice of 95% of the people on this post and go to Feline. They know what they are doing and wont pierce your veins!! Ouch!!

Jane at feline also pierced my tongue and rates highly in my books. I have been told I am a good piercer. I was trained by one of Mr Sebastians apprentices and spent the last year working at a busy London studio, averaging at least 4 tongue piercings a day, 6 days a week. Draw your own conclusions.

I'll go with the piercer who doesn't pierce my veins thanks!

I dont pierce veins! :rolleyes:

Kinda confused about what the question is in this thread now, but if i was going to give any advice on where to go i would reccomend feline. she did both of my nipple piercings and my boyfriends nipple and eyebrow (although tht grew out) and we have not had any problems there.X

I'd highly recommend Feline at Hunters Bar too.

They're really clean and professional and are very helpful.

I had my belly button pierced there 10 years ago and its been 100% fine until last month when I made the mistake of putting some cheap jewellery in and it swelled up really badly.

First I went to the NHS walk in Centre and they said it would have to come out and stay out.. totally disapproving and condescending... they made me feel like a child and I'm 32!!

I decided not to take their advice and on the way home I called in to Feline (should have gone there in the first place!). The lovely lady who did the piercing in the first place told me why it had got infected, replaced the dodgy jewellery for a nice new sterile BCR ring, told me how to clean it properly and hey presto it was better in a couple of days.

I was over the moon. I was soo scared I'd have to let it close up or something...

My ex-boyfriend had a really good tattoo done there too.

I am now working from Eternal Ink / Primal Piercing on Glossop Road (west street). I LOVE pricking tongues:P

i've recently had my tongue pierced and was a little worried about its position on the underside of my tongue.the bottom ball sits to the right of my frenum i think thats what its called (the webbing on the tongue) and i always thought it went in front of it.i have been told that it has to be there because my tongue is too short and the webbing takes up most of the length of the tounge (freakish sounding i know) its a little irritating underneath because of the swelling ,but other than that im happy with it.has anyone else had there tongue pierced this way??(the bonus of having ya tongue done is all the haagen daz ice cream and mc donalds milkshakes you can eat to help take the swelling down!):thumbsup:

I've got my tongue pierced... i had to have mine off centred due to the webby thing... i've had no problems at all... other than the first week of being a tad sore... I use Bonjella if it gets too sore... its good stuff :)

Yep loads of Ice cream and Ice... mm mm worth having it done just for that :)

piercings never seen the logic behind it, stabbing yourself in order to put some jewellery in. can anyone tell ok, ears ok but why the hell do people have, you know sensitive parts of they bodies pierced?

Er... why are ears okay? Just because everyone has them they don't look too out of place?

I'm always amused at the way people seperate ear (lobes) piercings from any others as though they're a completely different thing :loopy:

piercings have been done for thousands of years,its a pain in the butt when you get people staring and asking why?i tell them that my tongue piercing has proven well liked by my husband ;) ...its so funny to see them blush

hi richman..i had my tongue pierced 6 years ago..although i didnt feel the piercing been done i was in agony for a week aftre..i couldnt eat or drink it was so painful..but im glad i plucked up the courage to have it done...and now i feel lost if i take it out...go on get it done...i had mine done at home by a chap called shaun who as done all my piercings for me...if you want his number ill post it..

I took mine out a few months back. It was starting to annoy and was making my tongue a little sore sometimes. I think I was pulling on it in my sleep and I'd already chipped a couple of teeth on it so enough was enough. My other piercing is enough for me and I had that done at Van Schaiks on the corner of Wadsley Lane, Hillsborough.

Another vote for Mr Personality. I had my tongue and nipple done there earlier this year. The piercings themselves don't hurt initally but afterwards and for about 2 weeks after get ready to change your eating habits. God damn it's painful!

If you are after a good piercer then go to see Tiff Badhairdo at Eternal ink on West Street.
