Taster Day
Piercing taster day in London
Not sure a full piercing course is right for you yet? A taster is a relaxed, hands-on way to find out what the work is really like, with a working piercer beside you.
What it is
A hands-on first taste of piercing
A taster is a short, friendly introduction to body piercing for complete beginners. At our Stratford studio you get a feel for the job: how a piercing station is set up and kept clean, how needles and tools are handled, what the jewellery looks like up close, and how much of piercing is preparation rather than the piercing itself. All of it is under the eye of a professional piercer.
It is a good way to test the water before booking onto our 2-day or 4-day piercing course. No experience is needed, and there is no pressure to sign up to anything on the day.
On the day
What a taster can cover
Meet a working piercer
Spend time with a tutor who pierces for a living and can answer your questions about the work, the training and how to become a piercer.
See a station set up
Watch how a piercing station is prepared, how sterile tools and needles are handled, and how everything is cleaned down afterwards.
Get hands-on
Handle the tools and jewellery and try marking positions, so you leave with a clearer idea of whether piercing is the path for you.
Exactly what each taster includes can vary. Ask us and we will tell you what to expect.
Who it's for
Good if you're curious but not sure yet
A taster suits anyone thinking about learning to pierce who wants to try it before committing to a full course. You should be over 18. If you work in beauty or aesthetics, already have a few piercings of your own, or simply want a career change, time in the studio will tell you far more than any video can.
