Appointments can be booked online at a time that suits you.

We offer appointments for a wide range of ear and body piercings, including children's lobes, curated ear projects and jewellery upgrades. Simply select the service you require and choose an available appointment time.

To secure your appointment, a professional piercing service fee is paid at the time of booking. Your jewellery is then selected and purchased during your visit.

If you are unsure which appointment type is most suitable, our team will be happy to help.

The cost of a piercing is made up of two parts:

• A professional piercing service fee, paid when booking your appointment.
• The jewellery itself, which is selected and purchased during your visit.

This approach allows you to choose jewellery that suits your anatomy, style and budget whilst receiving personalised advice from your piercer.

For current service fees and jewellery pricing, please visit our Piercing Prices page.

Your appointment fee covers the professional piercing procedure and the expertise of your piercer.

It includes a consultation, anatomy assessment, sterile setup, professional piercing procedure, aftercare guidance and access to our ongoing support during the healing process.

Jewellery is charged separately and selected during your appointment.

Age requirements vary depending on the piercing being requested.

Children aged 8–15 may be eligible for lobe piercings when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Most ear and facial piercings are available from age 16 with valid photo identification.

Certain piercings, including nipple piercings, are available only to clients aged 18 and over.

Please refer to our Minors & ID Policy for full details before booking.

Yes.

We operate a strict photo identification policy and valid ID is required for most piercing appointments.

Parents or legal guardians attending with a minor are also required to provide identification.

If suitable identification cannot be produced, we may be unable to proceed with the appointment and cancellation charges may apply.

Please refer to our Minors & ID Policy for accepted forms of identification.

Certain medical conditions, medications, allergies and lifestyle factors can affect the suitability of a piercing or the healing process.

Pregnancy, recent surgery, some skin conditions, immune disorders, blood clotting disorders and certain medications may require additional consideration.

If you have any concerns about your suitability for piercing, please contact us before booking. We will always be happy to discuss your circumstances and advise whether it is appropriate to proceed.

No.

For safety, quality assurance and sterilisation reasons, all initial piercings must be performed using jewellery supplied by Isha.

We only use verified, brand-new implant-grade jewellery that meets our strict standards for quality, biocompatibility and finish. Each piece is professionally sterilised prior to use.

This ensures your jewellery is suitable for fresh piercing, free from damage or contamination, and fully traceable to trusted manufacturers.

We offer a carefully curated selection of implant-grade titanium, niobium and solid gold jewellery suitable for fresh piercings.

Our collections include a wide range of styles, from simple and understated pieces to decorative gemstone and gold designs.

All jewellery used for initial piercings is selected specifically for safe healing and long-term comfort.

Most clients choose their jewellery during their appointment.

Your piercer will discuss your goals, assess your anatomy and help you explore the available options before the procedure takes place. This allows us to recommend jewellery that is not only beautiful but also appropriate for healing, comfort and long-term wear.

If you have your heart set on a particular piece, you are welcome to purchase the jewellery in advance either online or in-store. Purchasing in advance reserves the item specifically for your appointment and avoids disappointment, as we cannot guarantee stock availability on the day.

Many clients choose to browse our collections online before their visit and reserve their favourite jewellery ahead of time.

We generally recommend allowing sufficient time for your piercing to settle before travelling, particularly if your plans involve swimming, hot climates, outdoor activities or limited access to professional aftercare advice.

Fresh piercings require ongoing care and may be more vulnerable to irritation when exposed to pools, hot tubs, seawater, sand and increased physical activity.

If you have an upcoming holiday or trip planned, we recommend contacting us before booking so we can advise on the most suitable timing.

To help ensure a comfortable appointment and smooth healing process, we recommend eating a good meal and drinking plenty of water before your appointment. Arriving well-rested and hydrated can help you feel more comfortable during the procedure.

Please avoid attending under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs. If possible, avoid excessive caffeine immediately before your appointment, as this may increase feelings of nervousness or sensitivity for some people.

If you are feeling unwell on the day of your appointment, please contact us before travelling to the studio. Optimum health plays an important role in both the piercing procedure and the healing process.

We also recommend wearing suitable clothing that allows easy access to the piercing area and bringing any required photo identification.

If you wear makeup near the piercing area, please be aware that some products may need to be removed during skin preparation prior to piercing.

Everyone experiences a piercing differently, and sensations can vary depending on the piercing being performed.

The good news is that the piercing itself is over very quickly. Most clients are surprised by how fast and straightforward the procedure feels once they're in the studio.

Your piercer will guide you through every step, explain what to expect and help you feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible throughout your appointment.

Many clients tell us that the anticipation beforehand is often the most challenging part.

You're welcome to bring one friend, partner, parent or family member for support if you wish.

However, many clients find they feel more relaxed during their appointment when working directly with their piercer in a calm and focused environment. For this reason, your piercer may occasionally ask accompanying visitors to remain in the waiting area during part or all of the procedure.

Space within the piercing studio is limited, and the comfort, privacy and safety of the client will always take priority.

Please note that children who are not receiving a service are not permitted to attend piercing appointments. Our studio environment contains clinical equipment and sharp instruments, and for health, safety and insurance reasons, children must not be brought to piercing appointments as visitors.

If you arrive with children who are not booked for a service, we may be unable to proceed with your appointment and cancellation charges may apply.

If you have any concerns about attending alone, please contact our team before your appointment and we will be happy to discuss your options.

Yes. Clients can book appointments for up to three piercings at the same time.

Whilst we can often perform multiple piercings during a single visit, we generally recommend healing no more than three piercings at once. This helps support the body's healing process and gives each piercing the best opportunity to heal successfully.

Your piercer will assess your anatomy, piercing goals and existing healing piercings before making recommendations tailored to you.

Reduced service fees are available when booking two or three piercings during the same appointment. Please note that any multiple-piercing discounts apply to the piercing service only and do not apply to jewellery, which is charged separately.

Our priority is always achieving the best possible healing outcome, and we will be happy to discuss suitable options during your consultation.

Client safety is our highest priority.

All piercings are performed using sterile, single-use equipment within a dedicated professional piercing environment. Jewellery is sterilised prior to use, and rigorous cleaning, sterilisation and infection-control procedures are followed throughout every appointment.

We are committed to maintaining standards that meet or exceed current industry recommendations and best practices.

No.

We do not use piercing guns or cartridge systems for any piercing procedure.

All piercings are performed using sterile, single-use needles, which are widely recognised as the safest and most precise method of creating a piercing.

This allows for greater accuracy, reduced tissue trauma and a more comfortable healing experience.

Choosing where to be pierced is an important decision.

At Isha, we combine professional expertise, high-quality implant-grade jewellery, private piercing studios and ongoing aftercare support to provide an experience that prioritises both safety and aesthetics.

From your initial consultation through to healing and future jewellery upgrades, our team is here to support you every step of the way.

We understand that plans can sometimes change.

Appointments may be rescheduled or cancelled using the link provided in your booking confirmation email. We kindly ask for at least 24 hours' notice wherever possible.

Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, missed appointments, late arrivals or appointments where suitable identification cannot be produced may result in the loss of your booking fee.

Please refer to our Cancellation Policy for full details.

Proper aftercare is essential for successful healing.

Following your appointment, your piercer will provide detailed verbal and written aftercare instructions tailored to your piercing. We will also be happy to answer any questions during the healing process.

We strongly recommend following our advice carefully and attending any recommended check-up or downsizing appointments.

For detailed guidance, please visit our Piercing Aftercare page.
