Best Tattoo & Piercing near me in Central Southsea, Portsmouth

Meg and everyone else in the studio were super lovely! Had my snake bites done, and she made me feel relaxed and prepared. Took her time marking them and got the actual piercing done super quickly which is ideal! I'd definitely recommend :)

I was put totally at ease and made to feel very welcome. I had a curation appointment and all my concerns were discussed and recommendations given and I felt confident to proceed to piercing. I had two ear piercings: a flat and conch and love them both. Thank you!

Genevieve was brilliant with me. She had to place a hoop into my existing piercing as I managed to lose the stud put in a couple of weeks earlier. Lots of good care and attention

Genevieve helped me out with some piercings I wanted to just get checked to make sure they were healing ok. Nothing was to much trouble and she gave good advice, cleaned them up and suggested a smaller size to help heal. Couldn’t thank her enough my ears feel much calmer now. Thank you x

Absolutely amazing experience with Genevieve! Especially for someone who hasn't had any piercings for a 100 years and went straight to the deep end. This lady is so welcoming and friendly and the best thing is, she'd explain all the quirks of everything she does in a manner that your family dog can follow the instructions! Thank you Genevieve! Enjoy your break!

I recently had my nose pierced at Small Sword Piercing, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Meg was fantastic from start to finish, making the whole process incredibly easy and comfortable. Her professionalism and friendly demeanor immediately put me at ease, and she took the time to explain every step thoroughly. The piercing itself was quick and as painless as possible, thanks to Meg's expertise. I highly recommend Small Sword Piercing & Meg. Thank you for such a positive and seamless experience! Be seeing you again soon.

The best piercing experience you can get. Genevieve is professional, knowledgable and helps you achieve the exact look you want (or even better!) with minimum downtime. I have gotten four piercings with her already and will always recommend her to friends and family :)

Genevieve is an absolutely lovely human putting me at ease as soon as I walked in the salon. She's very knowledgeable in her field and talked me through every step of the piercing so I knew what to anticipate when. She also took me through aftercare and gave me a the stuff I needed to heal the open wound. The end result is so cute, I'm super happy :)

The experience I had with Gen was unlike any other piercing experience I have had before, she made me feel safe and addressed my worries when it came to the piercings. 10/10 would recommend.

Well, what can I say? I was looking to get a piercing quite soon and found Meg. I loved how Meg gave me a warm welcome asked me what I had in mind and was honest with what she thought would suit my ears the best. As I work in healthcare I notice things like PPE more closely so I loved how she changed her gloves regularly and cared about contamination. She was very friendly, and bubbly and reassured me throughout the whole time. She used breathing techniques which helped and it was really cute of her to give a sweet at the end which reminded me of school lol. As a hijabi I deffo recommend her

I had a plan in mind of what I wanted but Meg was honest with me as to what would suit my ears the best. As I work in healthcare I notice PPE how is used more closely so I loved that she changed her gloves regularly and was very particular about contamination. She was very reassur

I loved my first experience with Small Sword Piercing! I was completely reassured and even got 2 piercings!

Genevieve is really friendly, kind, knowledgeable and organised. I felt like I was in very safe hands. Will definitely recommend to friends who are seeking laser tattoo removal or piercings. Many Thanks.

I felt relaxed the entire time and was talked through everything from the piercing itself to the aftercare. It couldn’t have gone any better. Will be coming again for any other piercings!

My second time visiting Genevieve and she is just so lovely. Puts you at ease and is incredibly professional, you tell she loves what she does. Am very happy with my new piercings and would highly recommend her.

Meg was fantastic and made me feel completely at ease! I adore my new piercing!
