In 2015, I stepped back into an industry that had never truly let me go.

My piercing journey began in 1998, when I discovered a craft that was as technical as it was transformative — a balance of precision, anatomy, and trust. After time away, I returned to the world of body piercing in 2015.  With that, Isha Body Jewellery was born: first as an online boutique, then as a physical studio fuelled by intention, education, and artistry.

Ten years later, I look back with gratitude, disbelief, and immense pride. What started as a leap of faith has become one of Dorset’s most recognised body piercing destinations — a place where clients don’t just get piercings; they curate identity, claim confidence, and choose pieces that become part of their story.

From Small Beginnings to a Studio of Distinction

Our journey has evolved brick by brick, milestone by milestone:

- A rented room where vision exceeded space  
- A boutique shop in Antelope Walk, buzzing with demand  
- And now, a flagship studio in Tudor Arcade — purpose-built for a luxury piercing excellence, jewellery curation, and personalised service

These spaces have held laughter, nerves, families, milestones, and thousands of piercings. They are not just locations — they are chapters.

Committed to Excellence — Dorset’s Only APP Member Studio

Isha Body Jewellery proudly stands as Dorset’s only member of the Association of Professional Piercers (APP & UKAPP) — a distinction earned, not claimed.

This commitment ensures:

- Verified jewellery made from safe, high-quality, hypoallergenic materials  
- Medical-grade sterilisation and best-in-class hygiene  
- Continuous education and industry-leading standards

Clients travel from across the UK — and beyond — because they know that luxury at Isha is not aesthetic alone; it is ethical, intentional and deeply human.

Ten Years of Adornment, Identity & Art

No two bodies are the same — and neither are their piercings. From intricate ear curation projects to elegant jewellery upgrades, each transformation is an intimate collaboration.

Across thousands of piercings, certain moments stay with me:

- A curated ear becoming a wearable sculpture  
- Nervous first-timers leaving radiant and empowered
- Families marking milestones together  
- Clients returning year after year, and again with their children, creating lifelong adornment stories

This work is not decoration. It is devotion.

A Moment That Says It All

★★★★★ – Jade F. (March 2025)  
"Isha Body Jewellery is incredible! I have visited on numerous occasions for various piercings, jewellery changes, and purchases. Emma, the head piercer, is such a beautiful soul — highly professional, kind, and calming. Her piercing room is spotless and she does everything she can to make you feel at ease, always going above and beyond to ensure you receive exceptional service.
Steph and Lauren in the shop are diamonds! They really know their stuff when it comes to choosing the perfect jewellery, full of ideas and tips to help you create your ideal look. I just love the place and everything that Isha is! Thank you and see you soon "

The Highs, The Lows & The Becoming

Ten years is not a straight line. There were challenges — personal, financial, and logistical. There were moments where doors closed during COVID, only to open again. 

But every hurdle carved resilience.

And every breakthrough was shared — with clients who trusted us, staff who believed in Isha, and a community that turned a business into a home.
