We Can Help Those Who Dare to Stand Out

At Belfast City Skinworks we pride ourselves in providing a level of service that is rarely found elsewhere.

We have a completely private, purpose built piercing room in which our fully trained body piercers operate to the highest standards of quality and hygiene. Every piercing is performed with single-use, pre-packaged needles which are carefully disposed of after every procedure.

We pierce using only the highest quality nickel-free titanium jewellery that complies with EU standards.

 All jewellery is sterilised in-studio for safety. Our dedicated piercer will help you find the ideal placement for your individual anatomy to create a visually pleasing, safe piercing. We strive to make your piercing experience comfortable. Our piercers train in-house for at least 3 years to ensure quality workmanship and professionalism.

We provide verbal and written aftercare instructions. Our piercers are available throughout the healing process to answer any questions, even for piercings done elsewhere.

Pierce With Care, Heal With Flair

In order to achieve the successful healing of your new piercing it is important that you follow these instructions carefully:

  • Always wash your hands thoroughly to remove bacteria prior to touching your piercing.
  • Only use the cleaning solution that your piercer has recommended.
  • In a clean cup, soak a minimum of eight cotton buds in the solution until completely saturated.
  • Clean around one side of the piercing exit hole and one section of the jewellery making sure to remove any discharge or hard crust.
  • Once clean, gently rotate or slide the clean section of the jewellery through the piercing and repeat on the second side of the piercing and jewellery.
  • Repeat the above steps several times until you work through all of the cotton buds to ensure the piercing is thoroughly cleaned.
  • Cleaning should be carried out a minimum of three times daily.
  • Ensure to clean the piercing after bathing to remove soap/shampoo residue, after swimming and applying makeup to avoid irritation.  Avoid fake tan and swimming during the healing process!


For Oral Piercings

  • Make sure to rinse with saline at least 3 times per day.
  • Rise out the mouth with saline solution after eating, smoking and brushing teeth.
  • Lip and Labret piercings will also need to be cleaned on the outside with cotton buds soaked in the solution recommended by your piercer.
  • Use ice to reduce the swelling over the initial healing period.
  • Avoid anything that will irritate the piercing i.e. spicy food, mouthwash or chewing gum.


Surface Anchors & Microdermals

These piercings require maintenance during their entire lifetime because discharge can build up underneath the threaded top causing the piercing to become irritated.

  • Periodic visits to your piercer are recommended to remove the threaded top and give the piercing a more thorough clean.
  • Warm saline compresses may be helpful with removing discharge from underneath the threaded top.
  • Avoid putting makeup on these piercings even after healing.
  • Even with proper care these piercings may be less permanent than other piercings.

"Had a really positive experience here. James was really clear and helpful with my nose piercing. Originally had a different piercing booked in and had to change it for medical reasons and he was super understanding and sound! Best piercing experience I've ever had, can't reccomend enough."
