Needle piercing is a professional body piercing method using a single-use, sterile needle to create a clean, precise piercing. This technique allows for greater accuracy, less trauma to the tissue and improved healing compared to piercing guns.

At Jenna’s, we offer a wide range of needle piercings, including ear lobes, children’s ear lobe piercings, cartilage piercings (such as helix, conch and rook), nose, septum, navel, nipples, tongue, lip & eyebrow. We offer jewellery upgrades on the day, subject to availability -please contact the salon if you have a specific design in mind so we can order.

A consultation is not required. If you are unsure which piercing is suitable, would like advice on placement or jewellery options, or have any concerns, we recommend contacting the salon so we can advise you appropriately.

Yes. When performed by a trained professional in a sterile environment, needle piercing is considered safe. We follow strict hygiene and infection-control procedures, using single-use sterile needles and high-quality jewellery suitable for initial piercings.

Pain levels vary depending on the individual and the piercing location. Most clients describe the sensation as a quick, sharp pinch followed by mild soreness, which usually settles shortly after the procedure.

The piercing itself is very quick, usually taking just a few seconds. Your appointment will also include consultation, preparation, aftercare advice and jewellery fitting.

Healing times vary depending on the piercing and individual healing response.

• Earlobes: approximately 8-12 weeks

• Cartilage and body piercings: several months

Full healing can take longer, and aftercare must be followed closely.

Yes. We are proudly partnered with Piercmed, whose professional, sterile aftercare range are suitable for cleaning all piercings and supporting safe, effective healing.

We also stock Happy Piercing Cushions, which are designed to provide ultimate comfort and protection during healing, particularly for ear piercings. These cushions help reduce pressure while sleeping (prevents migration) and can significantly improve comfort throughout the healing process.

Our piercing specialist will advise you on the most suitable aftercare products at your appointment to ensure the best possible healing results.

We use high-quality medical grade titanium, suitable for initial piercings. Jewellery options will be discussed at your appointment to ensure the correct size and material is used for safe healing.

As with any piercing, there is a small risk of swelling, redness, bruising or infection. Following the aftercare advice provided will significantly reduce these risks. We will discuss all aftercare and what to look out for before you leave the salon.

Piercings may not be suitable if you have certain medical conditions, skin concerns, or are taking specific medications. Age restrictions apply, and valid identification may be required. All clients must complete a consent form prior to treatment.

You will be provided with full aftercare instructions following your piercing. This includes how to clean the area, what to avoid and how to support safe healing. It is important not to touch, twist or play with your new piercing during the healing process.

Jewellery should not be changed until the piercing is sufficiently healed. We recommend returning to the salon for jewellery changes to ensure this is done safely.

Piercing appointments can be booked online, by phone or by contacting the salon directly. If you are unsure which piercing to book, we recommend contacting the salon for advice.
