If you’re looking to add a bit more bling to your bod, a trip to Claire’s Accessories just won’t cut it anymore (unless your ten years old). Instead, high-end tattoo and piercing studio Sacred Gold is the place to go. The studio in Coal Drops Yard, founded by tattoo artist Joao Bosco and co-owner of the Love Hate Social Club Guy Saar, makes the piercing experience a lot more luxe.
Sacred Gold stock Europe’s largest selection of BVLA precious metal body jewellery, with pieces hand polished in solid 14 or 18 karat white, yellow or rose gold and platinum, with ethically sourced gems in there too. The jewellery is all displayed out front and the staff are only too happy to help you choose. Though you can get a variety of body parts pierced here, they specialise in ear jewellery, so take advantage of their expertise to get that perfect curated ear.
The piercing room is clean and spacious, and the piercers make you feel totally at ease talking you through the process and the aftercare – no need for nerves around the needles here. You’re in and out in a flash, and you can get walk-in slots if you decide to get pierced on a whim.
You can also get inked at Sacred Gold too. Both their resident and visiting tattoo artists focus on custom designs so you can get exactly the tat that you’ve dreamed of; it’s gonna be there forever after all.
