Customer Reviews
Lea is absolutely fabulous! ✨✨ I have been a few times for different piercings in the past and every time he has thoroughly explained the process whilst getting my piercings, been lovely to chat to in general and has shown his years of experience through his amazing work! 🧡🖤🧡🖤 The place itself is beautifully decorated, spotless and has a very relaxed atmosphere :) 🖤🧡🖤🧡 This time I got a piercing in the upper area of my ear as shown on the picture. I originally arrived with an enquiry as to whether I had the correct anatomy for an industrial piercing. Although Lea was open to doing this he recommended alternatives that I could get to make my piercings stand out more and not be hidden away. Therefore, we agreed on going ahead with the flat. 🖤🧡🖤🧡 I always see his beautiful upgraded jewellery on his social media posts (Facebook mainly). He let me have a look at all the different options that might make my piercing come to life a bit more than just a standard stud. To align with my other orange gemstone pieces I chose this beautiful black and orange piece. 🧡🖤🧡🖤 Ultimately, I cannot recommend The Abattoir enough for anyone desiring a new piercing, having their first, upgrading their jewellery to a high quality piece or even just for some advice on piercings 🫶
I had my helix pierced on Saturday and I was very impressed by the cleanliness of the shop, it was spotless. Lea showed me the fresh needle and the date on the packet and explained the whole process in a calming manner. I was expecting some sort of pain, but it was painless. I am 3 days in and still no pain and zero swelling 🥰He also had a great selection of jewelry to choose from. I will definitely be back again 😎
Had my tragus and rook pierced today by the amazing Eleanor, it was a seamless process and i’m so incredibly happy with the results! They offer great prices and the attention to detail with hygiene standards and personal anatomy is exceptional. Can’t wait to return to downsize! 🫶
