Why us
Why train at London Piercing College
Anyone can sell you a piercing kit. We teach you to pierce safely and well, in small groups, on live models, with piercers who do this for a living. If you are weighing this up against a piercing apprenticeship, we have written that comparison out honestly.
Real teaching
Taught by working piercers
Your tutors pierce professionally. You learn current technique, real studio practice and honest feedback, not theory read from a slide. Because groups are kept small, a tutor watches your marking, your angle and your hands the whole way through.
The difference
What sets us apart
Small groups
Groups are kept small so a tutor watches your hands, checks your marking and corrects your angle. You get real practice time, not a seat at the back.
Live models
Moulds are where you start, not where you finish. Both courses end with supervised piercings on real people, because that is the only way to be ready.
Taught by working piercers
Your tutors pierce professionally. You learn how piercing works in a real studio today, from jewellery choice to calming a nervous client.
Hygiene done right
Sterilisation, cross-contamination and safe waste run through every course. The 4-day course includes Level 2 Infection Prevention and Control.
The law, explained
You learn consent, insurance and how piercing licensing works, so you know what your council will ask for before you pierce the public.
CPD accredited
Both courses are CPD accredited. You take home a printed London Piercing College certificate, get a digital copy, and keep lifetime support after the course.
