Where's a good place to get my nose pierced in Brixton?

[Agent Sparrow]

I've been debating whether to get my nose pierced again for quite a while - however, not sure if its just me being crap, but the only places I know of that do it properly (i.e. with needles not guns) in London are in Camden and Soho, and I can't be arsed to trek that far! So does anyone know of anywhere in the Brixton, or at least South London area that they'd recommend?

If you're going to get it done, get it done properly -- Cold Steel, as kea says, Metalmorphosis in Soho or Into You in St John's St are all very good.

Avoid the place in Brixton Market like the plague...I went with my daughter when she got her lip pierced, the hygiene was poor and he was 'piercing for Jesus'.

Ooer. ;) I was married to a piercing aficionado. People who go to places with bad and unhygenic practices really regret it. You hear some horror stories. :eek:

My own piercing horror story took place not in a piercing studio but in a pharmacy in Croydon. It was my own fault for not going to a proper piercing practitioner. I wanted another pair of holes in my ears. The pharmacist herself was doing the piercing. Both studs went halfway through my ears and the pharmacist then pushed them through with her fingers to horrendous crunching gristle sounds. Then she went and threw up. :eek: :eek: They were horribly bruised and soon became horribly and permanently infected.

Gun piercing -- just say no.

I think IntoStella has just explained why I won't be going for the gun!

I was definately going to make sure it was a proper one though, just hoped there'd be one a bit near by. Oh well, off to Camden next weekend for me!

That's where I got my nose done. With a gun too, if I remember correctly. :rolleyes:

I had to keep taking it out for work and so I stopped wearing it after a couple of months.

I got my nose done with a gun! I looked like Rudolph the rednosed reindeer for about a month afterwards, with this thing that looked like a big zit on the side of my nose (it was actually a stud). Got a ring put in as soon as I could.

Got for the needle!

Ive been thinking of getting my nose pierced. One of those tiny studs that looks like a piece of glitter. I dunno why cos I have a big nose and it may clash with my labret piercing :confused:

Just feel like doing it I suppose
