Quick picks: Best piercing studios in Leeds
Silver Lining Piercing & Jewellery
Silver Lining Piercing & Jewellery is unlike the usual piercing shops you might have come across. It’s not dark or intimidating. Instead, when you walk through the doors, you’ll find a light and airy jewellery shop, with white walls and big windows. They sell beautiful sterling silver jewellery as well as steel, titanium and even gold body jewellery, so you can leave glittering.
All their piercers are highly trained and meticulous when it comes to cleanliness. Whatever you’re getting pierced, you’ll have your own private room, where the piercer will discuss placement with you. They’ll then explain everything thoroughly, making it clear that you’re their number one priority and, where possible, numbing you beforehand.
Best for: A gorgeous collection of jewellery for your new piercing.

How much? Prices start from £18 for a lobe piercing.
