Reviews of Holier Than Thou
H. C.
Absolutely wonderful experience. I had never had anything pierced before and all the staff were so warm and lovely and talked me through everything really well. I felt compeltely safe and in great hands. My ears have never looked better (and it didn't hurt anywhere near as much as I thought - if you're like me and have been thinking about it just go do it and make your own happy!)
A. P.
Very pleased with my first visit to Holier Than Thou. Went in to get my second lobes pierced. The staff were all welcoming and friendly. I suffer with anxiety and I felt a bit overwhelmed by the vast of choice of jewellery. I was so pleased when the receptionist helped me to choose something simple and didn't pressure me into buying anything expensive. Kitty pierced my ears. She was lovely and made the whole process stress free. She even re-pierced my labret for me in the same appointment which I had only casually mentioned I was thinking about getting redone at a later time. Will be going back for sure to get more piercings. Definitely recommend. :)

Absolutely loved my experience here, I was recommended this shop by a piercer in Belgium and am really glad I went to them. Everyone was so helpful and absolutely lovely. I was pierced by Kitty and she really reassured me throughout, I had my tragus, conch and rook pierced and I had told Kitty I was a bit scared about the tragus piercing so she talked me all the way through it and really put me at ease. And they have such a big range of jewellery to choose from, I was in awe when I walked in!

Wonderful place. I had my helix pierced, I was made to feel so at ease I barely felt it. Everything was so professional, friendly and personable right from the start. Recommendations on jewellery, thorough explanation as to what will happen, good after care information. I asked advice on other piercings, particularly with me having very small ears, and I was given very good advice to give me realistic expectations. I will definitely be having my other piercings here.
L. L.
I LOVE this place! I've had a navel, nipple and Christina piercing completed here and I wouldn't go anywhere else. The staff are so professional, friendly and talented. I've had both Kitty and Marcus provide piercings for me, and both are so supportive and knowledgeable. They really care about making sure it's the best experience for you from start to finish. The aftercare support is also amazing, and I feel totally confident that I'm in safe hands. There's a reason why Holier Than Thou is such a popular place to go, I would definitely recommend.

I had my first visit to Holier Than Thou yesterday. I was slightly nervous but immediately set at ease by all the LOVELY staff there. Everyone there was so so friendly, helpful and reassuring, also so patient with a magpie like me that can’t make up their mind! There’s a stunning selection of jewellery to choose from and the staff gave excellent guidance on which jewellery would suit which piercing. The piercing itself was really quick, thoroughly explained and perfectly placed; I was given plenty of opportunity to check the placement and make sure I was happy with everything. Aftercare was thoroughly explained and I felt really reassured when leaving knowing that no problem was too small in terms of contacting them in the future. The booking system online was also really simple to use.
I can’t wait to revisit for downsizing and to plan my next piercing!! Thank you lovely ladies!
C. C.
I visited in March to have an old lobe piercing redone, and the staff were fantastic throughout - from signing in and picking out jewelry to the piercing itself. Now that's healed, I visited again yesterday to have hinged rings fitted in both ears as orbitals. Again, I can't praise the staff enough.
A.
I got my tongue pierced here, and it was quick and didn't hurt more than it should! All the staff are absolutely lovely, there's a wonderful selection of jewelry, and if you have any worries or social concerns, this is hands down the best place for you to be. Also a big thanks to everyone who helped me when I nearly fainted! Nobody's fault of course, but they couldn't have handled the situation better. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking.
J. G.
Great experience, warm, welcoming and competent staff. My piercer was lovely he was very calming and talked me through the entire process beforehand. The procedure was over quickly and as painless as a piercing of my size (6mm) can be. The speed and precision it was done just further proves the expertise and experience of the staff. Offered helpful aftercare advice and no hard sell to buy in store products like you can find in other places. Definitely would come again if/when I decide on another piercing.
S. D.
I went in for 2 lobe piercings but only had vague ideas of what jewellery I wanted. Everyone was so nice and Kitty was so helpful and patient and we picked out some gorgeous pieces. She also gave me advice on some of my other piercings and we ended up sizing down my rook which they did for me! Will definitely be back :)
E. W. M.
I had 2 helixes done by Sage, the online booking system was straight forward to use. It was Sage that did my piercings, and she was very informative about the cartilage piercings and healing aftercare, she reassured me and kept me relaxed throughout the whole process.
The place is very clean and professional.
Highly recommended for sure.
B. E.
I always come to Holier Than Thou for my piercings and I've never had anything less than a perfect experience. Everyone there is so friendly and knowledgeable and happy to help. Couldn't recommend enough.
L. H.
Had my ears pierced yesterday by the lovely Kitty. Was a little nervous due to having anxiety but was put at ease by all of the lovely staff there. Kitty was great at explaining the process and aftercare and made the whole process as painless as possible. Would recommend anyone wanting a piercing to come here for the best service!
E. H.
Been here twice for piercings and the staff are amazing. They're happy to help and answer any questions you have - I had a lot the first time I went as I hadn't had a cartilage piercing done before. They explained aftercare procedures thoroughly in person and via email afterwards, were very reassuring during the process, and there was a high standard of hygiene throughout. And they're happy to give advice during the healing process - was even told they'd rather I go in every week asking if a piercing looks like it's healing well rather than worry about it. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to get piercings.
P. M.
I have had piercings done at Holier Than Though for a few years now and the service and team have always been so professional and friendly. Every time I’ve been there I have had no problems at all. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. The quality of their work is impeccable and very reliable and trustworthy. Excellent studio and strongly recommend to any one considering piercings. Can’t thank the team enough!
C. F.
Always a great experience when we visit but especially happy with our last visit. My daughter wanted her first piercings. Everyone was brilliant from explaining the process and picking her earrings to having the piercings. They’ve been in a week now and she is over the moon.
She especially liked the sign outside, that this was a safe space and being asked her pronouns. These things made her feel respected and welcomed. 🌈💜
J. L.
Always an amazing experience whenever I go here. I've had four piercings here already and they're literally the best! The employees are kind, super friendly and extremely efficient when it comes to aftercare, knowledge and the piercing itself. This place is the BEST for anyone looking to get a piercing/ body modification in Manchester
R. B.
Really put my at ease for my first piercing. It had been recommended by no less than 4 friends and I see why - you feel like you're in really safe hands, and they seem to really feel pride in what they do. As I was sitting there a few people came in for advice and the response they got from the staff was top notch. I'm chuffed to bits with my piercing and I'm almost certain I'll be back again for another before long.
Shout out to Sage for being a total star - they made the whole experience stress-free and put me completely at ease about something I was actually pretty nervous about!
J. B.
I’ve had my septum and 2 helix piercings here in the past before the studio changed and my daughter has just recently had her ear lobes pierced. She was nervous, but as always the staff were so friendly and reassuring as well as professional! She is so happy with her new studs and that makes me happy :) The best place I have ever been to for piercings - highly recommend!!
E. N.
I had my lobes done here and it was the calmest and kindest piercing I've ever had done. All the staff are so kind and knowledgeable. I was pierced by Sage, who talked me through each step and kept me calm as I usually feel very anxious and faint during my piercings. Thank you for providing a safe and clean space for piercings ❤️
J. R.
I was very impressed by the level of quality and customer service with my first visit yesterday. I emailed about getting a birthday piercing and heard back almost immediately. Upon arriving, I was greeted by friendly staff. Marcus was very friendly and knowledgeable. He explained all the process of the vertical labret and especially the aftercare. The shop is very clean and well presented. I am so happy with my piercing and will definitely visit again for any future piercings. I definitely recommend Holier Than Thou to anyone wanting great service and a very positive piercing experience. Thank you to Holier Than Thou!
M. P.
Highly recommended. I had my helix pierced, the whole experience was great and stress free. The staff is super professional and polite. Definitely will be coming back again for resizing, change of jewellery or new piercing 👍
L. T.
Had a fantastic service from Holier Than Now for my nostril piercing. Super helpful in picking out my beautiful stud and really caring front of house staff when I was a bit nervous. Kitty was quick and almost painless doing my piercing and super professional. Planning more visits.
H. B.
Amazing place and team! Have had my nose and both ear lobes pierced at Holier Than Thou and would 100% recommend to anyone. The staff are so friendly, kind, and understanding, and thoroughly explain the piercing and healing process. Sage made me feel so comfortable and at ease before and during the piercing process. All my piercings have healed perfectly, and when I did notice a slight lump in one of my ear lobes, they reassured me and provided me with tips of how I could soothe and heal it. Thank you!! x
L. M.
I came here for multiple ear piercings and didn't know for definite what I wanted until I actually got there and had a good chat to the lovely (and very knowledgeable and friendly) staff at the till area. They have such a huge variety of jewellery (I had a hard time choosing) and all of the pieces are gorgeous.
I eventually decided on a conch, helix and flat piercing which were performed by Kitty. I was so nervous but she was brilliant and really put me at ease. I love my new piercings!
You can really see how popular and well respected the place is by the constant flow of customers in and out of the shop! I am hoping to visit again soon!
l.
i had my navel pierced today, kitty was absolutely amazing. all piercers were so welcoming and absolutely lovely. experience was quick, professional and over within 20 minutes. i almost fainted (not a fault of the piercer, i’m just quite squeamish) and i was immediately taken care of. brilliant shop and lovely people, will be coming back 😇
S. M.
Cannot fault these guys. I was getting a piercing. Totally professional from start to finish . Completed the health questionnaire. The guy doing the piercing stepped through what he was going to do and asked if i had any questions. Even when I was sat waiting, the staff were very professional with other customers in terms of what they can do what they cannot do. Totally professional. The process itself was very quick with aftercare discussed. I will certainly be back for my next piercing.
R. W.
Really happy with my experience. I went in for a nose piercing and was incredibly nervous (like really really nervous), especially since covid rules mean you need to go in alone. As soon as I got there I was put at ease as everyone was lovely, the guy (sorry I didn’t get a name) who pierced me was able to calm my nerves immediately. He talked me through the entire process and spent a long time with me ensuring the placement was right before piercing. It was a weekend and the studio was incredibly busy, with lots of people in and out the door but I never felt rushed which I really appreciated. He also took a lot of time to explain the aftercare process with me and just over a week on the piercing looks to be healing really well. Overall a very painless, stress free, and calm experience which I wasn’t expecting. Thanks so much guys :)
E. P.
I’ve been pierced here twice now by Kitty and Sage. My experiences couldn’t have been better. Both were so kind when I was quite nervous. Standards are so high here, great selection of jewelry. Sage also gave me some advice on another piercing I had from elsewhere which had been causing me bother. They’re such a nice team and I wouldn’t get pierced anywhere else now.
L.
Staff are very professional and friendly. They are experts in what they do.I have had Five piercings there. It is incredibly clean. I would recommend them to anyone. They give great advice for aftercare. Worth every penny.
A. P.
Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. My first time being pierced and I also have anxiety about being touched. Marcus was brilliant, talked everything through, didn't rush me and made sure I was OK before I left.
Couldn't have gone to a nicer and professional piercing studio, will definitely be coming back for more.
R. B.
Had my nose pierced about a week ago. All members of staff were really nice and polite. Had my piercing done by Sage. She was absolutely lovely, answered all questions I had and not painful at all. Such pretty varied choice in jewellery too! Will definitely go back!
D. W.
Had my daughters ears pierced here on Saturday. Absolutely brilliant. I knew I’d made the right choice to have them done here from the moment I walked in. Very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommended and would not go anywhere else again! Thank you… My daughter is over the moon 💜
E. W.
Came with my very nervous sister in law as moral support and left with the cutest high nostrils piercings. Everyone in the shop itself were all so helpful and friendly. Extremely easy to talk to and particularly put my sister at ease. She had three lobe piercings by Marcus who was lovely. I was pierced by the wonderful Kitty. It was busy but we weren't made to feel rushed while we chose our jewelry from the huge selection and we felt very safe regarding covid regulations.
I've been coming here for almost ten years and couldn't recommend it more. They are all so knowledgeable, kind and you couldn't ask for a better experience when being punctured.
S. C.
I’ve had two piercings, a week apart and Sage did both of them.
She’s great. Very positive vibes, professional; explained everything and was very experienced.
My septum was a piece of cake; the larger bore ear piercing was more of a whim and oh boy, that is a memory.
A very cool one :-)
Felt great leaving the studio and I’ll be back for more and advice on stretching etc
Deffo the place for me.
B. M.
Had some jewellery changed yesterday, but have been going to the shop for about 10 years now, had multiple piercings/tattoos done here and had many friends have theirs done at HTT too. I couldn't recommend this place and these people highly enough, always on the ball with body safe jewellery, always going above and beyond in training/keeping a tight ship. They will help you look after anything and answer any questions you have, 10/10 service every time I've been in.
D. F.
Absolutely LOVED my piercing experience. It was my first time here after being highly recommended & I now would not go anywhere else but here, thank you so much to kitty who made me feel at ease, she talked me through my nipple piercing and answered any questions with such knowledge & care she was amazing & the best piercer I have come across (all staff here were fantastic) could not recommend highly enough thank you & keep doing what you do ;)
H. W.
I have been travelling to Manchester from Halifax to come here since 2019, I love it! My experience every time has been brilliant, every one is always so happy, friendly & helpful. I find my piercings always heal well which is something I previously had issues with at the place I previously used. Recently I ordered a pice of jewellery In too & it was a good/easy experience, 10/10 💜 x
S. A.
I had a fantastic experience here and the staff were so sweet! It's been almost 10 years since I last had a piercing, but was reassured and made to feel so comfortable. They're a really friendly and knowledgeable bunch, and I look forward to coming here again in 4-6 weeks!
E. S.
I got my second lobes pierced here, approximately 2 weeks ago! It was the best piercing experience I’ve had and I have 11 piercings in total.
It was so nice to have someone knowledgeable on hand to tell me what gage I was pierced with and talk me through the experience, because despite the fact I have multiple piercings and 6 tattoos, I have a fear of needles so can’t look at them.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff, very professional piercers who know how to deal with people who have needle issues! 1000% recommend 💗🌈
H. C.
Beautiful selection of jewellery to choose from, staff are so friendly, patient and helpful. The piercing was painless and the advice given was so kind and helpful too. Wouldn’t go anywhere else, it is clear here is a fab place of value and they take pride in what they do. 🖤✨🖤✨
S. L.
I got pierced yesterday (17.06.2022) at Holier Than Thou and the whole experience was brilliant from start to finish. The staff are lovely and Kitty really put me at ease. The premises is clean and there is a great selection of jewellery to choose from. If I knew what I wanted to get pierced next, I'd be going back!
M. h.
I came to holier than thou for a tongue piercing, done by Kitty. The entire team comes across professional whilst still being friendly and welcoming! Despite this being a particularly sensitive piercing for me (I have a low pain tolerance in general) Kitty was very efficient and talked me through the process and was reassuring despite me freaking about a bit during the piercing. Also the I have come in before without an appointment due to being worried about incorrect jewellery in a piercing (from a different shop) and was helped then and there which I really appreciated. 100% my new go to piercing parlour,
Thank you Kitty and Holier Than Thou Team!
J.
I've had five incredibly affordable piercings done at this wonderful place; three lobes, one nose, and a helix. I couldn't be more pleased with them, and the piercers Marcus and Sage(thank you so much guys!), who did them for me. They were both so welcoming, attentive, kind, patient, understanding and most of all professional. All of the staff here are the absolute sweetest, and make you feel at ease from the moment you walk in. My go-to piercing shop, who I highly recommend to everyone. 😊🪡 ❤
P. P.
I went on recommendation and so glad I did! Great range of jewellery, very friendly staff who talked me through my choices and what would happen during my piercing (ear). Earring sterilised before being inserted, and room I was in completely clean and sanitised. Will be going back for another and highly recommend you go!
c. t.
Was looking for a place to get my septum done. Which a few of my friends had suggested holier than thou!. All the staff were absolutely lovely and super helpful and made the process so much more enjoyable!. The gentlemen who pierced me was super professional and got my piercing done super quick and was as painless ad it could of been. Will definately come back for more piercings from this studio as i'm super happy with the customer service they had provided. Thanks alot guys !
k. r.
Brilliant experience, staff all very friendly and helpful. Was made to feel at ease as soon as I entered the shop which calmed my nerves right away!
Sage did my piercing and was very informative with what would happen during the piercing and all the aftercare :)
I will definitely be returning! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
M. F.
Good service with friendly and welcoming staff, a clean environment. However, they have on more than one occasion changed piercings and used the wrong size jewelry (too small) causing my piercing to become swollen, irritated and painful to the point where I've had to let some heal up or go back to get the jewelry changed.
D. W.
I recently had an appointment to have my ear lobes re-piercied The studio was very clean and the staff were so friendly and helpful. I like to ask a lot of questions and they were able to answer all of my questions. There is so much beautiful jewellery to choose from at a variety of different price ranges to suit everyone. I will 100% recommend to anyone who is wanting any type of piercing.
P.
Visited for my 1st and 3rd septum piercing (first 2 times healed up), absolutely spot on, super friendly staff and studio was spotlessly clean and hygienic. I don’t live locally and travelled 45 mins drive to come as they did such a good job the first time, was the same again this time, was over with super quick and they made sure I was comfortable throughout, worth the journey to get pierced and I’d come back for my next piercing too. Thanks again!
H. C.
I've been getting piercings here since 2018 :) The staff are always incredibly professional, friendly and take health and hygiene exceptionally seriously. They are also brilliant for those who are nervous or have a lot of questions. I will be going back again sometime soon, I'm sure!
G. L.
Highly recommend this place. Made an appointment, thankfully, and showed up early. There were 3 people who came in without an appointment & wanted tattoos and piercings. They couldn't accommodate them because they were quite busy. Staff was all very friendly and down to earth. I went for a septum piercing. They showed me all jewelry options & explained everything to me in a crystal clear fashion.
The piercing itself was easy and practically painless. Not sure why I put it off for 21 years 😂 The piercer (is that what they're called?) was professional, friendly & personable. I liked him a lot, which speaks volumes because I only had 4 mins and 23 seconds with him.
Parking was a breeze, albeit a little expensive at £3 for 1 hour. In all I was only there for 20 mins for paperwork, jewelry shopping & piercing. Definitely book in!
C. T.
Fantastic service, staff were brilliant, helpful, caring, professional, knowledgeable. I would recommend Holier Than Thou to anyone looking to be looked after have fantastic service and over all have a brilliant experience. The care you receive is fantastic, the aftercare is amazing. Use 100% and I guarantee you will not be disappointed 👍 A++++++ all the way, well done to all staff that were working this weekend as you have definitely earned a repeat customer x
M. T.
I chanced my arm this morning and tied a walk in appointment after not booking, and the guys were awesome. Kitty is a star and the whole team are friendly and welcoming. The studio is spotless and they have an amazing range of jewellery available. 5⭐️
J. O.
From the moment you walk in the staff are really kind and welcoming. Super helpful and great with advice around piercings and jewellery. Lovely clean and sterile studio, professional and reputable piercers and fantastic aftercare. All of my piercings so far have been done by Kitty and I couldn’t recommend her enough! Fab team and fab place. If I could give more than 5 🌟 I would!
T. B.
Absolutely fantastic experience today from start to finish, I had both my septum and nostril pierced by Kitty and she was amazing. Didn't hurt anywhere near as much as I expected and she talked me through every step of what she was doing and what to expect every step of the way, as well as everything I needed to know about proper aftercare. Huge thank you to Kitty and everyone else working out FOH as well as they were super welcoming and helpful with advice and jewellery choices (I went with a black niobium ring and horseshoe and could not be happier with them!).
Honestly if you aren't familiar with Holier Than Thou give them a follow online and pop in and you will see straight away that they are the absolute best kind of people, and total professionals all-round.
E. J.
There’s no other place in the UK I would go for piercings. Kitty is just fantastic. Makes you super at ease for any type of piercing. Millions of jewellery options - too many in fact. Always the best time coming back here. Here’s to more soon 🖤

I visited Holier Than Thou again in July to get underway with some new piercings I was excited to add to my collection, and found that since I was last there several years earlier they had moved sites. I had always known Holier Than Thou as a studio with a remarkable selection of jewellery, so I was blown away by how this had expanded to such an extent to fill their bigger space. The studio really is such a magical place to be around so much beautiful jewellery with an extremely extensive variety of options to suit anybody’s budget and taste and people with infectious enthusiasm to talk to about it. Jenny the high end jewellery manager and apprentice piercer was very excited to show me loads of the pieces that caught my eye up close. She listened closely to the kinds of things I like and used her impressive knowledge of all the jewellery available both in the studio and through the manufacturers to suggest pieces that would be my style and make for a totally cohesive curation that fit my anatomy to a tee. This really helped me to pick out the perfect jewellery for me and to decide which new piercings I wanted to add to show it all off.
Since then I have visited the studio many times to discuss new piercing ideas to make sure they are suitable for my anatomy, order custom jewellery from premium manufacturers, have piercings performed, and get aftercare advice and jewellery changes throughout the healing. Without fail I have been warmly welcomed into the studio, and have also been lucky enough to have interacted with all of the piercers now at one point or another, and I can honestly say whoever you see you will be in safe hands both for piercing procedures and for picking out the right pieces for you. Marcus in particular deserves a huge shout out; he performed my vertical industrial piercing in July that has been a very tricky healer, but he has been super patient with me throughout the initial swelling that was causing me problems. His reassurance the several times I popped in to have it quickly checked has been brilliant, and not only has he always known when to intervene or simply leave it alone, but also changed the barbell several times to get it just right for that stage of the healing.
I am currently in the middle of my curation journey while I wait for some custom pieces to be made and for my newer piercings to be healed enough to add new ones, but have been scheduling appointments for piercings in advance so they are healing up nicely for when my jewellery arrives. I recently had an apprentice piercing appointment with Jenny who performed my newest triple forward helix, and can honestly say she is an excellent professional piercer. She helped me pick out the perfect jewellery for this position based on a few of my ideas, worked closely with her mentor Helen to ensure that the placement of the piercings were just right to really show them off and fit my ear, and explained every single step of what she was doing so that every sound and sensation I felt during the piercing was expected and that I was calm and reassured. My starter bars are long in case I have another bad time with swelling, but the piercing has been totally pain free since I left the studio and am hoping they will be ready for their downsize in a few weeks. I can’t wait to get back to the studio and am really looking forward to seeing what my new gorgeous jewellery looks like in its fully healed form, and getting my custom pieces as they arrive.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Holier Than Thou to anybody looking for a new piercing or to update their current set up. Whether you have never been pierced before or are going in for your twentieth, they are the best at helping you realise your vision and their expert help and advice and wide range of jewellery will mean you leave really happy with your new piercing and the overall experience of getting it, whatever you choose.

Recently had my nose pierced with Holier than thou and the entire experience was fantastic. I’d been re-searching where best to go in Manchester and these guys were coming up with great reviews. I’m so happy that I booked in and wouldn’t go anywhere else from now on. From the get go the team were super friendly, professional, and answered all of my questions with great knowledge. When having the piercing I was put at ease throughout the process and the time was taken that I needed - I was treated so well. I can’t recommend these guys highly enough. Thanks Holier Than Thou
S. K.
It's the first time I have visited holier than thou and from the get-go, they were so professional and nice. The lady at reception whose name I didn’t catch, unfortunately (she had copper hair) was so lovely and helpful with filling in my form, helping me pick my jewellery and customising my appointment specifically for me.
I went to get my conch and flat pierced. I mentioned my anxiety and requested a female piercer (I’m a Muslim who wears the headscarf) and the lady at the reception already requested a female piercer prior to me making the request. The place was squeaky clean, there were covid separation stickers and all staff were masked up and anyone entering was asked to mask.
For my actual appointment, I had Kitty pierce my ears. She made the entire appointment so comfortable for me, made me feel relaxed went at the pace I was comfortable with and clearly explained each step so I was well informed. It felt like a collaboration rather than just getting pierced and sent on my way. We had a laugh as well.
I appreciated the advice on a stubborn helix piercing that hadn’t healed (I got pierced at a beauty shop a year ago which was nowhere to the standard of HTT)
I don’t think I would ever go anywhere else to get pierced and have already planned to take my sister for her second lobes next year.
Thank you so much to the two staff members that helped me today, I’m confident that I’d receive the same high standard of customer service regardless of who was servicing me definitely worth the out of town trip.
Expert piercing, Beautiful and Amazing results.
J. H.
I'm so glad I found this place.
I was quite late to the piercing game. I was quite nervous about my cartilage piercing but my experience at holier than thou was an absolute dream.
The staff are incredibly helpful and as they are so skilled I experienced very little pain and good aftercare support.
I have already recommended this place to my friends and would have no hesitation doing so in the future
L. E.
Always friendly and super helpful. Never too busy to help you choose jewellery and I've never felt rushed or pressured. Every piercing I've had from here has been amazing (and Marcus is an absolute star 🌟). Thanks HTT! ❤️
A. G.
The best piercing experience I’ve ever had! Everyone was super lovely and helpful both when choosing which jewellery I wanted and made me very comfortable throughout the piercing.
All the jewellery was beautiful also, definitely recommend :)
J. S.
I had an embedded piercing in a private area which was painful so i went down to holier and saw Marcus, I did initially prefer some one who was assigned female at birth but I just really needed this sorting so I could not wait until a different day when a female was availiable.
I just want to say that Marcus was so lovely, he did not make me feel awkward in any sort of way and really tried everything he could, unfortunately I could not deal with the pain and he told me to come back when the swelling goes down a bit as that would help a lot.
I went back 2 days later and saw Kitty, she was super lovely and put me at ease explaining what had happened and what she could do as I was quite scared at this point, my mind had run away with itself.
She popped it right out of there with minimal pain, I must say I was actually very impressed as I really thought it would not come out and may be a hospital job.
I want to say that all the piercers I have come across at Holier seem to be really nice and professional and I want to give a special thanks to Marcus and Kitty for being awesome, making me feel good and at ease.

I went in to the shop for a nostril piercing a few days ago. I was super nervous, but the piercer Kitty helped put me at ease and answered all of my many questions. She also took the time to make sure I was 100% sure about the piercing before we went ahead with it. I love my new piercing, thank you Kitty! :)

Staff are so friendly, helpful, patient and knowledgeable. They’re all really reassuring and if you don’t have the anatomy for a specific piercing, they’ll be honest and give options for alternative options. Couldn’t recommend them more. It’s best to book in online in advance to avoid disappointment, they’re super busy most times because of how fab they are!
J. S.
Second piercing here and there really is no where else I'd go. Everyone is super lovely and helpful, they're all extra ace when you're nervous as hell and even during little jewellery swaps they fully keep you at ease.
Kitty did my second nostril piercing yesterday for me and was every ounce awesome while I was winding myself up with nerves (I just hate needles).
There really is no better place to go in Manchester. The fact that they rarely have walk in space speaks volumes. Thank you all for constantly being ace!
S. C.
The best piercing shop in Manchester. Friendly, helpful, calming, professional, clean. I had piercings done here over a decade ago and when I decided it was time for another piercing, it was the only place I would go. I had my nostril pierced here yesterday and the standards are just as exceptional now as they were the first time I experienced them. They really care about their customer, the experience and the advice they give to you which shines through!
S. C.
Always such a pleasure getting pierced here! Couldn’t recommend a better place to go. All the staff here are always very friendly and attentive. So much choice as well.
Highly recommend +++
J. I.
Best place in the North West for piercings. The team are so friendly and warm and welcoming. Had nearly 10 piercings over the last few years and each time it hasn't hurt, impecably clean and hygenic, totally professional. Never any problems after as excellent service. Cannot recommend highly enough :)
L. H.
Every single member of staff is amazing! They’re kind, helpful, honest and highly qualified. They really know their stuff and are passionate about what they do. I travelled 2 hours each way for my piercing appointment and I’d do it again! Absolutely worth it. Thankyou Holier Than Thou 🥰
s. g.
I wouldn’t go anywhere else for piercing, advice, and aftercare. I got my rook pierced on Saturday by Kitty. She was so quick and gentle (I was super scared for my first cartilage piercing). It barely hurt then and hasn’t hurt since! All the staff from front of house to the piercers are so helpful and professional. They never make you feel silly for being nervous or asking questions.
Also- although they were fully booked it still felt quite calm in there, despite it being a manic busy Saturday in town.
C.
Triangle piercing performed by kitty who explained the whole process thoroughly.
Very professional and really put me at ease from the second I arrived. I was made welcome by all the staff and will be returning to see kitty again for another piercing :)
J. B.
The amazing Sage pierced my daith, I was so nervous to have this done, but honestly it wasn’t so bad. I do think this is down to the expert skills of the piercer Sage :).
Highly recommend Holier than thou, all staff are lovely and they have various choices of beautiful pieces of jewellery. I will definitely be back for some more piercings!
Thanks again Sage & all the wonderful staff at Holier than thou x
A. F.
Had 4 lobe piercings done just before xmas and the staff were so friendly and helpful when it came to choosing budget friendly jewellery and the piercing process / aftercare. Possibly the friendliest and most welcoming establishment I've ever set foot in and would 100000% recommend to a friend / come back for more.
E. C.
Had my septum pierced here. Was really quick and easy, talked me through all of the aftercare and organised an appointment in a couple of months to get the jewellery changed post-healing. Fairly priced for the great service and quality jewellery.
J. B.
I recently had another piercing at HTT and as always the staff were amazing. The front of house staff are the best at helping pick out jewellery that fits within your budget and they are so helpful and friendly, one even recognised me from a previous visit and remembered my jewellery choice. Iv had the majority of my piercings here and the piercers are quick and professional, they help you feel calm and really settle your nerves which is great. I would highly recommend HTT to anyone wanting a new piercing or jewellery.
R. P.
I travelled from Leeds to visit this studio for my septum piercing as I wanted a UKAPP member for my piercings, and the studios in Leeds don't really offer what I look for in a piercing studio.
The studio was rather busy, but everyone was very friendly and helpful, and helped me to choose the right jewellery for my new piercing (and a new bar for my healed scaffold piercing).
The person who pierced my septum and performed my jewellery change was incredibly friendly and reassuring, and I actually felt no pain at all during the piercing.
The piercing itself is in the perfect position, and is totally straight. I'm looking forward to visiting again in the future!
A. A.
Super professional and every piercing I have done at Holier Than Thou has been very quick and pain free, with little to no trauma to the area making healing alot easier, and really good after care advice compared to other places. If you have any issues, they're happy to check everything is good free of charge. Highly recommend!
P. F.
First time visiting the studio. Extremely friendly and open staff. I had a P.A piercing, made to feel comfortable through it and gave me the time afterwards to adjust.
I was given the advice leaflet on how to look after the piercing through the healing process and was also emailed the link to the information. I will definitely be going back again. Great Place. Thank You 🙂
T. A.
I had my septum pierced and a nose ring changed today by Marcus, excellent service and treatment from him as well as the front of house. I wasn't rushed, was talked through everything and was completely listened to. Aftercare was fully explained and i left completely satsfied and delighted with my new piercing and jewellery. I can fully see how HTT have earned their reputation.
R. E.
I went here after I researched for a experienced piercer. I'm so glad I did..ide been putting off my piercing for weeks due to nerves and i wish ide of come sooner. Kitty is professional brilliant at what she does didn't make me feel anything but at ease and I'm so pleased with my piercing ☺️
S. B.
Been coming here for my piercings for years, had my tattoo done here, and brought my dad here for his too. Fab experience every time, the staff are always friendly and really helpful. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!
J.
Every time I've been to HTT it's been incredible service, and I genuinely can't recommend them enough.
I got dimple piercings yesterday with Marcus, and I'm so happy with the results. Brilliant advice and answered any/all of my questions, walked me through what to expect in terms of swelling etc, and all the staff were fantastic.
Even when I've popped in in the past with questions and jewellery enquiries, it's been fantastic service, and thoroughly impressed.
Thanks for being incredible to everyone at HTT! 🖤
T. T.
Such an amazing time, they were super helpful picking jewelry and my piercer was lovely, very gentle and great conversation. They are extremely knowledgeable and do they best to make you comfortable.
J. J.
I had been following HTT on Insta for quite a while as I was considering getting a nostril piercing. (actually had wanted this for over 25 years!).
The booking process was very straightforward and when the day came around I went to the studio. We were immediately greeted and given the forms to fill in.
When it was my turn Sage took me to the room and fully explained the process, and reassuring me as I was nervous. She made sure I was happy at every stage and I am very happy with my piercing I would definitely go back and would be very happy to get pierced by Sage again.
L. M. F.
I got my Industrial pierced here, it was such a great experience!:) I was beyond nervous and wasn’t sure what to expect but there’s such a great general atmosphere and you feel very at ease. Would defo recommend and will be going back for sure:)
M. L.
Highly recommended. Expert & professional staff. I’ve been coming here for years and won’t go anywhere else for piercings. Recently had my dermal removed here - which I was worrying about as it had been in over 10 years - it went very smoothly!
R. F.
Booked a last minute navel piercing and I couldn't be happier! I was greeted by Marcus who helped me fill in my form and pick my jewellery. I wasn't sure what to go for but he was friendly and knowledgeable, he let me know that because I would likely need to change my bar in a few months, I would be better to stick with something plain and then purchase a fancier piece when the time came to downsize - I was clueless so this really helped me avoid spending lots of money on something that would be obsolete in no time. Payment was super swift, card or cash accepted and booking fee taken off the total.
As for the piercing itself, a lovely clean working environment, Marcus made me feel very comfortable and I couldn't believe how quickly I was done. I was actually a bit shocked and taken back by the speed!! Again, very knowledgeable, let me settle and ensured I was happy before and after the piercing was done.
I've had piercings in places were staff were far less friendly and it makes you anxious, but the HTT team were truly brilliant.
R. V.
I've been to HTT a few times with friends who were getting pierced and I already knew I could trust them. I have bad anxiety and ADHD, so was feeling pretty nervous, and it has been 12 years since I'd got a piercing. The piercer (I've forgotten their name, sorry!) asked if I wanted them to talk me through it beforehand and showed me what they were going to be using and how it would work. They checked I was OK to continue at each step and put me at ease so much. If you're not keen on needles or pain, it's a vulnerable position to be in, no matter how much you want the piercing, but they made the experience so manageable and stress free. I'm extremely grateful and I love my new septum piercing so much! Thank you 💛
Z. B.
Just a big thank you to Kitty today. She went above and beyond. She explained everything to me clearly and knew I was nervous. I was super indecisive and she was so patient and lovely about everything. They don't want to take your money at all they just care about your experience and safety. Will be back. Was super painless as she was so calming. Thanks Kitty :)
黒.
Amazing as always! I’ve had most of my piercings done here, from normal ears to collarbone, hips, wrist etc, and the experience, cleanliness and wonderful staff has made me a regular customer.💖
I’m always thrilled with my piercings, and as always, yesterday was just as great!
Even though I wanted to re-pierce an area that I had previously had a piercing in, their techniques and attention to detail is flawless as always. I highly recommend.✨✨
They’re advice for looking after piercings is thorough, and I’m always bringing my friends when they want a piercing, because I know how trustworthy these guys are. I don’t want to go anywhere else⭐️
K. B.
at this point i think I’ve been pierced by everyone here - and never ever been even slightly disappointed. I’ve drooled, winced, and dropped ‘em out, and everyone’s always been great fun and really professional. Special thanks to Kitty for being who i would consider my “usual” piercer, but thanks to everyone else too! (also shoutout to Pippa - great tattoos, will be back again)
E. C.
I had my first piercing here in January and now come April am up to 6! It's just such a great overall experience. The beautiful jewellery, lovely staff and inclusive, welcoming CLEAN environment makes it the perfect piercing shop. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
S. A.
best piercing studio i’ve ever been to! the staff are so professional and know what they’re talking about and full of knowledge and advice. you can tell that this studio has a different calibre of training and professionalism compared to others. felt very welcome as a member of the lgbtqia+ community and their care while i was in the studio felt personal and thoughtful. there’s a great range of jewellery for sale too! i’m kicking myself for not coming before for previous piercings but i’ll definitely be back!
J. P.
Hard to believe I have never left a review for HTT, considering the amount of time I have used their services, but having left Manchester it left like I had to! I'd like to express my endless appreciation for Sage, who has performed most of my piercings with the utmost care, professionalism and kindness; these have all healed like a charm, unsurprisingly! The whole team has been incredibly helpful every time I contacted them about quotes, custom and non-custom solid gold jewellery orders, sizings etc... and the level of hygiene is the highest I've seen. I also really appreciate the inclusiveness and open-mindedness of the whole team; truly the best piercing studio out there. Please do not hesitate to walk in their doors (or down their steps, rather) as your true self, if you fancy anything shiny or a really high quality piercing. Thanks a ton to Kitty for completing my right ear curation yesterday, despite a really angry barbel in my daith! Much love to the team x
Z. J.
Excellent, staff very friendly and professional, felt very safe and reassured. Visited for navel and helix piercing, good aftercare advice given. Will definitely return and would highly recommend. Thanks Holier than thou.
n. h.
I went in with a piercing from another shop which i suspected was heavily infected, i arrived and the lovely man that i had spoken to took it out for me & also gave me saline solution to clean it with as well as the most detailed aftercare i’ve seen so far, appreciate it so much and the atmosphere in there is amazing! Thank you again :)
R. S.
I came down for double piercings but unfortunately my anxiety was peaking that day. The lady that pierced me was lovely to me and comforted me, she even went outisde with me to get some fresh air. I ended up getting just one piercing and she gave me vouchers so i can come whenever im ready to get my second piercing done.
C. H.
Had my nose pierce to day at 64 years old . Brilliant experience. Advised by my daughter in law to go here. MARCUS YOU ARE THE ONE. Your staff are amazing, so supportive.
H. N.
Love this place! So welcoming and inclusive, incredibly friendly and so knowledgeable about piercing. Absolutely outstanding on hygiene and cleanliness, could not recommend highly enough!
M. G.
Had my lobes re-pierced and my daith pierced here. They staff were so friendly and I was made to feel really relaxed and at ease.
I’ll definitely be back here!
K. M.
Absolutely love these guys! Really informative and helpful, they give great advice about what will and won't work for you. They really take the time to make sure you get what you want - including friendly advice if you are totally indecisive about what you want. Great if you are feeling nervous and make the whole process brilliant.
S. W.
Wonderful place, everyone there is so friendly and welcoming. Came all the way from Wales as I'd seen their work on Instagram and wasn't disappointed. The gentleman who pierced me was brilliant (am terrible with names so sorry didn't put ur name here) he took his time to make sure my vertical bridge was spot on and am chuffed to bits with it. Look forward to coming back. Thank you
L. A. E.
Overall an amazing experience. Very welcoming, very helpful, the young lass at front desk was super friendly smiley and helpful especially, both staff that dealt with me made me feel extremely comfortable and safe and my nose peircing is healing great. Almost 4.months in to it being done and only had a small irritation bump on the inside since had it done and that went down super quick with keeping it clean in the ways advised by the peircer. I had a male peircer, don't remember his name of the top of my head but he was fantastic. Would definitely come back to this place for another peircing when I can afford it. I've massively recommended your spot to my friends who want the best done peircings and to go to a place that does it the right and safe way. Thankyou hugely. Ill be back soon enough for sure.
J. F.
I went in today to get my septum pierced and had a great experience. I was nervous beforehand but didn’t need to be, all the staff were really helpful and Marcus made me feel at ease straight away. He was friendly, professional and before I knew it, was all done and couldn’t be happier. I would definitely return to htt for all future piercings.
10/10 would get pierced again! Thank you so much!
H. D.
Had my septum pierced by Kitty who was absolutely amazing! I have a needle phobia and she was so gentle and lovely made me feel so comfortable and I couldn’t be happier with my piercing and the experience as a whole
b.
Clean, professional and brilliant customer service. My appointment was short, but this was my first piercing ever and I was a little nervous. Marcus has been very friendly and professional and he’s done my nose before I could even start worrying about the pain. 😂
J. T.
amazing place!
so thorough with taking details and personal preference, lots of gorgeous jewellery to choose from, explained very well what my options were, Elise was very friendly and made me feel more relaxed as I was a bit nervous with my piercing! so professional, quick and lovely, after care advice was excellent and I left feeling fab 😊 going back in 6 weeks for my downsize appointment 👍🏼 xx
E.
Perfect service every time. Professional, clean, and jewellery prices to fit every budget. I wouldn’t go anywhere else in Manchester for a piercing or new piece of body jewellery!
C. H.
Great experience here! Staff are welcoming, professional and friendly. They are happy to give advice on whatever you thinking of having done. The aftercare is brilliant would really recommend!
L. C.
Lovely professional staff , really helpful and knowledgeable. The shop was absolutely spotless and my piercing looks great which was done by sage Wouldn’t go anywhere else now 5*
L. C.
Excellent service. They were so friendly and helpful! Really pleased with my helix piercing. Would highly recommend.
M. P.
highly recommend, they have an amazing array of high quality jewellery and very experienced and friendly staff that are quick and professional when piercing, came here for my navel and it has healed perfectly so far xx
A. W.

Always go here for my piercings. Took my daughter for her ears pierced but they were full so gave us a discount voucher for next time. Great customer service thank you.
C. S.
Had my nose pierced, was nervous and they instantly put me at ease. Kitty was so lovely! Great service, quick and efficient. Thank you
L. A.
I always have a superb and friendly experience when going to Holier Than Thou. Everyone is so lovely and they really put you at ease. They are definitely my go to piercer!
J. L.
This Manchester piercing shop just might be one of the friendliest, most welcoming places ever! The service and price is top notch
F. R.
UPDATE: Changing my review to 4 stars as I have now spoken with HTT and they very kindly sent me new, longer bars, free of charge. They went over and above what was expected of them to be honest, and I am really chuffed with their help. Cheers guys :)
The actual piercings I received here are healing very nicely, and pain was minimal. I didn't feel rushed to check the placement of piercings, which I often have felt at other studios. My reasoning for 3 stars instead of 5 is that alongside the piercings I received, I also bought some jewellery to go in healed piercings and replace what was currently in there.
The two labrets that were put into my helix piercings seem quite short, and one has popped off and I cannot get it back in again because the post is barely long enough to make it through both sides of my ear. The same goes for the jewellery I got for my lobe piercings - the posts are so short it's impossible for me to put the earrings in or take them out so that's £30 down the drain!
I went back the next day after getting pierced (they were very happy to fit me in as the ball had popped off of my new piercing) and asked for them to take out the lobe jewellery as I was unable to do it myself due to the stud being so short, and while I was briefly apologised to, no attempt was made to remedy my issue.
Overall I have no problem with the piercings I received, but I would maybe avoid getting jewellery fitted here unless you are very adept at dealing with short bars.
A. W.
Absolutely amazing service, the person who pierced me was extremely thorough with healing, downsizing, and cleaning procedures, and was very detailed with what to expect with my tongue and helix piercing, a very safe atmosphere, they 110% know what they're doing
M. H.
It was busy, but it is Saturday. I supplied the money for my wife's nose ring. The staff were very lovely towards her.
S. R.
The whole team are professional yet friendly, extremely knowledgeable and skilled at what they do and the studio is scrupulously clean and stunning with their range of beautiful body jewellery
A. R.
Wouldn't go anywhere else for my piercings. Professional, friendly and choice of jewellery is the best I've seen.
W. S.
Had two piercings done by excellent Kitty. I've got a few more ear piercings before in other places, but the daith one I had here surprisingly doesn't hurt at all comparing to all my previous ones. Very good and professional service!!
M. G.
I've been to my fair share of piercing places before, and I can honestly say this is the best of the best. From the moment I walked in I was greeted with kindness and smiles! Affordable piercings and professional advice and guidance during the whole process. They even helped me sort out my nose stud that I was having issues with alongside getting my ear lobes pierced. I will be coming back ☺️
A. D.
I went into this shop to get a nose piercing and was met with their friendly staff. Everyone was super nice and the piercing process itself went smoothly. I can't remember the name of who pierced my nose but she was lovely and would 100% go here again!
S. F.
I wont lie, I was very dramatic getting pierced but they had the patients and manner to make me feel very comfortable. Couldn't recommend them enough! thank you Mark and sorry for making a scene
S. C.
Amazinggggggg place-lost count of the amount of piercings I’ve had here, no matter who has done it they always been an absolute pleasure. From as soon as you arrive till you leave the whole experience it exceptional. Also the continued advice and support even weeks/months after appointment. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!!!!
Great job-it’s always very much appreciated 😊
Thanks again xxx
R. S.
I've had several piercings at holier than thou over the past two years and my experiences have been nothing but positive. They make the experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible, from helping you choose the perfect jewellery, making sure you remain calm and comfortable throughout the actual piercing, to carefully explaining aftercare. I've also been in a couple of times with minor issues with my healing piercings and staff are always more than willing to help out, free of charge too which is amazing. I really can't rate the staff highly enough - everyone I've had the pleasure of interacting with has been friendly, professional and clearly super knowledgeable. I wouldn't go anywhere else in Manchester for my piercings now!
D. L.
Great place for piercings but do other specialise stuff too. The staff are all so lovely and friendly, but always professional. It's the only place I trust with piercings.
J. H.
The best place to get pierced in Manchester. Staff are really friendly and knowledgeable, there are some beautiful expensive items but no pressure to spend a lot. My piercings have always been hassle free. Shout out to Marcus and Kitty who have both been reassuring and kind throughout. Wouldn't go anywhere else!
G. H.
I've had quite a few tattoos here now and a piercing. The staff are always super friendly, putting you at ease from the moment you arrive. The shop and all the rooms within it are really clean and they give great aftercare advice. Can't recommend them enough.
A. N.
It was my first helix piercing and I was kind of nervous but staffs were nice and kind. The surgery room was very clean as well. The piercer was fast and gentle, it didn’t hurt at all!! I am so happy:)
A. R.
I went it today for a septum piercing, I don't usually post reviews but the idea of getting my septum done was very scary for me, the actual experience was so quick and almost painless and the staff really were amazing with me. Jenny spoke with me on the front desk and she was fantastic, she made me feel very comfortable and reassured, and she also was very informative, told me everything I needed to know! Marcus who did my piercing was also great, I didn't speak to him as much but he did my piercing super quickly and was also very knowledgeable and reassuring. Considering how nervous I was I'm so happy I chose Holier Than Thou, the staff were fantastic and I will definitely be returning.
M. S.
I was pierced by Kitty who was absolutely lovely. Super calm and reassuring. Holier Than Thou is the only place I would ever go to get pierced! The only advice I have is to book in advance and also turn up about 5-10 mins early so you can choose jewellery and fill in the info and consent form. :) Also, do not go in there expecting super cheap prices, they are absolutely reasonable prices for the incredible service you get. The professional service and high quality jewellery are absolutely the best I have ever had.
P. R.
I cannot recommend this place enough. Even though I didn't get my piercing done here, they managed to give me great advice (for free!) and fit me with proper jewellery that cleared up the issues I was having. Will definitely go here for my next piercing!
S. C.
I had three piercings done by Kitty today. Unfortunately my anatomy wasn't suited for one I had initially chosen so she helped me pick out a different placement. All three were done very quickly and easily with minimal discomfort due to the great quality equipment. Super clean environment and professional service with very friendly staff. I'll definitely return and would recommend Kitty and the shop to friends.
E. A.
Still so impressed with HTT. From the piercing to the down-size to having the jewellery changed, they know what they are doing. Extra big shout-out to the girl on the counter who's so attentive and knowledgeable and nice!!! <3
S. L.
Had my first ever piercing yesterday after everyone I asked recommended HTH for their great service, after care and their actual care for people! I booked in and the whole process was smooth and hassle free. The new receptionist was very helpful and knowledgable and helped me pick a gem out without selling me anything extravagant.
Kitty did my nose piercing and was very friendly and professional and answered all my questions truthfully. What a great experience, no pain and I left happy feeling really happy I’d got my first piercing at almost 30! Not sure I’ll be back for anymore (!) as I’m more than happy with the one but really pleased with the process and looking forward to my nose healing so I can downsize to a smaller piece. 5* thanks Kitty and the team x
S. S.
Very friendly and informed staff - made me feel comfortable and welcome.
Had two piercings and was advised on the after care...would definitely return and recommend
L.
I have yet to go there for a piercing, but I initially booked a consultation regarding my concerns and questions since I'm looking to get into it. I suffer from severe social anxiety and the trip did leave me quite anxious, but everyone there from the receptionist to the piercer I spoke to (Sage) was really nice. The advice they gave me was incredible and helped with my concerns. They definitely know what they're doing and have an incredibly large range of piercings and piercing types.
Definitely going there again in the near future.
E. L.
Only place I'll go for piercings! Everyone is super lovely and accomodating. Recently had my forward helix done by Jennie and I've never felt more at ease! also really like that everyone is professional and honest, but still really helpful, you can tell everyone genuinely cares about your experience and it makes such a difference
A. V.
I went to get my nipples pierced at Holier Than Thou and could not have been happier with my experience! I was a bit stressed out but they were so calm and reassuring. My piercer (Kitty) was great at explaining how everything would work and how to care for the piercing. Everything is kept spotless and the piercers are highly qualified. The Holier Than Thou team are fab and I'd recommend anyone looking to get a piercing come here.
K. H.
came here for a 4x lobe piercing and right from the get go the staff were SO helpful! really kind receptionist and the shop felt so relaxing. tons of jewellery to choose from and the procedure was very fast and stress free which i absolutely loved. they’re so catering for everyone’s needs and i always felt welcomed. i absolutely adore my jewellery and cant wait to come back for a downsizing appointment! this place will always be my go to, thankyou <33
S. H.
Fantastic service by Marcus, after having complications with a navel piercing done elsewhere. He got me in on an emergency appointment, and completely made me feel at ease .Even helping my friend who accompanied me when she had a nose bleed. He made us so pleased that my friend will now be booking in for a piercing with him. Fantastic place and lovely service from Jenny and Marcus. Felt cared for and informed. Thank you SO much guys, no problems with the piercing since they helped me!
S. C.
I wouldn't go anywhere else for a piercing. I've been twice now and both times they were extremly professional, whilst also being so flipping lovely. Whether you're struggling to find space on your bod to pierce, or its your first time, Holier Than Thou is the place to go. They'll sort you out.
J. S.
Fantastic piercing studio. I asked a question online before booking my appointment and got a helpful, comprehensive reply very quickly. The front-of-house staff were friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable and were able to advise me on whether my chosen piercing (daith) would be suitable for the shape of my ear. They have a great selection of precious jewellery which they were happy to explain to me, but also didn't try to push me into buying gold when I decided I'd prefer a plain titanium ring. My piercer Sage was absolutely lovely; they were friendly and enthusiastic and they explained everything clearly at every stage of the process so I knew what to expect. Hygiene was exemplary and done in a spotlessly clean tiled room. The piercing itself was done quickly and although daith piercings are inevitably painful, the pain was over in a split second and I literally haven't had any soreness at all since I had the piercing done two days ago.
I don't get nervous about piercings but while I was waiting I could hear the staff being super kind and reassuring to other clients, which was great to see. I would also add that Holier Than Thou makes a point of being an accepting and inclusive place for all genders, ages and body types.
D. F.
Thank you for such an amazing experience! Krystle is super lovely and super talented, the shop is clean and bright and everyone is so friendly and very inclusive. I'm so happy with my microbladed brows and lash extensions, and will of course be back!
M. B.
Amazing customer service, great piercings, amazing staff , very clean and friendly. My piercer Marc went above and beyond and really helped me out, give him all the love in the world, tysm!
S. N.
2 weeks ago, I walked in from the street asking if they had titanium jewellery and if they could change my nose ring. I can't change mine as my nails are too long. Was told they will change for you, if you buy the new jewellery from them. They have an excellent range of jewellery practically everything you can think of. Excellent customer service, hygiene and value for money. My friend even got a new industrial piercing.
B. M.
Staff are so friendly and helpful - they can't do enough for you. Great process from start to finish with my surface piercings.

Took my 9 year old daughter here to get her ears pierced and couldn't be happier with the service we received. All of the staff were really friendly and clear about the process, prices etc. They explained everything that was going to happen in detail which put my daughter at ease as she knew exactly what to expect. The piercings themselves were done so quickly. She was really brave, barely winced and loves her new piercings :)
R. B.
Staff are very professional, happy to answer questions and extremely knowledgeable. Large range of jewelery at a range of prices.
I personally felt extremely at ease during the whole piercing experience and would definitely recommend it to anybody considering getting a piercing.
J. M.
My first time getting a piercing here and as soon as I walked through the door I was met with a warm welcome from the team. Quickly sorted out what piercing I wanted and where I wanted it. I was talked through the whole process to make me feel more comfortable. An overall lovely experience and I love my piercing.

Hi my son had his septum pierced today and your staff were absolutely amazing ! All of them! it was so nice to see that everyone who came in was treated so well . I always knew this was the place to go but my son has autism and for him just coming to town is so stressful. he wanted it done so much and the whole thing was such a calm experience for him and I really really appreciate it x thank you all xx he will definitely be back for more !
B. D.
Went today for a piercing change. The staff are all so professional and lovely, beautiful shop and very clean. Sage changed my jewellery for me and they were so nice and informative :)
A. A.
Amazing experience, staff members are incredibly kind and patient. I got piercings done with Marcus, he's so efficient and knowledgeable, the procedure was so quick and almost painless. The pricing is fair too. Thank you so much!!

Visiting HTT is always a joy! The staff are so friendly and welcoming, nothing is ever too much trouble and they are more than happy to help you out with their impressive wealth of piercing/jewellery knowledge. The aftercare is amazing and i always feel safe and comfortable when i go. They have a range of jewellery to suit every budget and i never feel pressured to go for the more expensive option - but it’s nice to know it’s there if i ever want to treat myself!
I have been there several times and would highly recommended them to anyone looking for a piercing, body mod etc. Seriously I can’t say enough nice things about these lovely people and what they do!!!
S. D. L. P.
I came here after hearing many recommendations and I was not disappointed!
From my initial request for help in choosing jewellery to the actual appointment the staff couldn't have been friendlier
They took the time to explain everything and help where they could and I never felt rushed through any part of the process
The choice of jewellery is fantastic and the whole place is very clean too
The guy who did my piercing was great at preparing me for what was to come and I barely had time to worry before it was all done, super speedy!
Thank you!

Recently had a venom tongue piercing at Holier Than Thou, and I can not recommend the place enough.
Everytime I have been at the establishment I am treated with a warm welcome, kindness and respect.
Every staff member has been unbelievably helpful and kind.
J. L.
My first time going to holier than thou and i was very impressed! the staff were very friendly, knew exactly what they were doing and handled my piercings with great care. the staff member who had pierced my industrial her name was Kitty and she was amazing! i would highly recommend going there!!
D. K.
I've had a couple of piercings here and the staff are always really friendly and helpful. The service and aftercare is great, I would definitely go back for another piercing!
J. B.
I had my snug and anti tragus pierced. The last time I had a piercing was 30 years ago. You are advised to book as walk-ins cannot always be accomodated.
From start to finish was a positive experience. The young lady on the desk had only worked here for 1 month and yet her customer service was excellent! Kitty did my piercings and she was awesome, she put me at ease with general chitchat ( I'm sure she thought I was giing to faint ĺol), the room was clean, the earings were sterilised. The prices are reasonable too. The after care information is fantastic, I will be returning....thankyou guys
L. F.
Great place! Super friendly service, really well organised and very trans friendly. The staff are so great with all the visitors, and there's a lot of them which is testament to how well they do things.
Went for a piercing today, having been for my first with them a couple of years ago and I'm very glad I went back. Everyone was really nice and professional - I knew what was going on throughout, felt listened to when discussing my piercing and was well informed about after care. Will definitely be back!
S. P.
I arrived a little early for my appointment but they had me fill in my form and get started straight away. Every staff member was so attentive, friendly and lovely. Jenny was my piercer who is the shops apprentice, and she took the time to sit with me, talk through my form and she was aware that I have learning disabilities. I have autism, dyspraxia and anxiety so it’s important to help my anxiety that my piercer is aware and happy to pierce. She was friendly, explained everything really clearly, and was genuinely invested in making sure I have a great experience. It was so nice to have even an apprentice be so considerate and careful, and I was blown away. The piercing itself is ace and we have a plan of action for changing the piercing when it’s healed! I have also got myself a new gorgeous Swarovski black gem for my Labret! Couldn’t be happier, thank you so much Jenny!
I’d massively recommend Holier Than Thou especially to ASD or hidden disabilities customers. All are very clearly welcome!🖤
j.
Honestly amazing, I came in with a wonky piercing that was done by claire’s and had been bleeding and getting continuously irritated and swollen because it wasn’t pierced straight. let it heal for a couple weeks and got it re-pierced here + some others. it’s been like 7 weeks now since and they’re completely fine, no more irritation & perfectly placed. staff are very friendly and overall it’s the best piercing place I’ve been to, 10/10 👌🏼
A. M.
I had a nipple piercing by Sage who calmed my nerves so well and somehow made the experience less painful than previous nipple piercings I have had. All staff were so friendly and helped ease my really high anxiety.
A. B.
I got tattooed by Pippa today for the first time and she was fantastic. Super lovely as are all the staff and I felt so comfortable with her tattooing my sternum.
B. S.
Don't usually post reviews, but felt this deserved one. Went in yesterday to get my septum pierced. They have the biggest jewellery collection I've ever seen at a parlour and really beautiful pieces. Changed my choice of jewellery last minute and that was no problem. I was also glad that there was a strict mask policy. They are clean, professional, and very forthcoming. Kitty checked that the piercing I chose was in the correct size and was extremely efficient. Despite already having other piercings, my anxiety kicked in and it was handled in the nicest and kindest way possible. The piercer Marc was super patient, explained every step of the way, let me take a breather when I needed to and reassured me that I could take my time even though it seemed to be extremely busy. My jewellery was handled with care and most importantly, my septum was pierced straight. Left happy and will return for future piercings.
M. H.
Had a great experience getting a nostril and helix piercing here. The staff are really friendly, professional and put you at ease. They're pros at what they do and you're in and out in no time. If you're nervous about piercings at all, this is the place to go!
H.
Always a lovely visit. Great selection of jewellery. Staff are very knowledgeable and experienced. Everything is clean and organised. All their effort helps create an environment that makes you feel safe and reassured. Had quite a few piercings done there over the past few years and the standards are consistent. 🖤
K. G.
I’ve had several piercings done at HTT over the past three years and I genuinely couldn’t recommend them more. All staff members are super friendly, understanding and helpful - not to mention extremely professional. Cleanliness is second to none and the quality of jewellery superb. The studio does get pretty busy (especially on the weekends) but the staff do everything they can to reduce waiting time. I 100% wouldn’t choose another studio.
H. H.
I’ve had quite a few piercings done here now and have had a really good experience every time, everyone is really welcoming, helpful, and truly passionate about their art. Their newest staff member, Kit is so lovely and kind and they made sure I was comfortable whilst I was waiting for the jewellery I’d chosen to be sterilised which was really appreciated as I’m prone to fainting and struggle to stand up for too long. Thank you all so much ❤️
S. P.
I’ve been to holier than thou a few times and each time you can’t fault the experience. All the staff are amazing especially Jenny, she always makes you feel so welcome and at ease. The piercing experience is second to none and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Also the jewellery selection is out of this world with something for everyone.
M. L.
Other than the friendly staff on reception, I dealt directly with two piercers that were eternally patient and caring about me and my state during my time there. Holier than thou is a credit to the profession and the first place I would recommend to anyone. On a personal note, the two piercers I dealt with were Marcus and (I believe) Marc. To any who need questions answered, worries quelled, or curiosities satisfied, these two will go above and beyond for you; I am so grateful for their experience and friendly presence and I will be returning to Holier Than Thou again, undoubtedly.
E. W.
I have had many piercings over the years and it's really important to get that 1st great impression when you pick a new studio.
HTT smashed it- they were all so friendly. I wanted something that my local lovely piercer did not do (vch- so obviously you want to feel comfortable and in good hands.)
I was so taken by the friendly staff and amazingly helpful piercer (Kitty FTW!) who made me feel so at ease. She rocked it, and I am very impressed with the entire experience.
Not to mention the staggering jewellery selection.
So many shiny things! I will be back for sure:)
F. E.
Cannot recommend this place enough! Everyone here is so lovely and welcoming, especially helping easing the nerves of getting piercings! Marc has done three of my piercings now and every time he has made me feel so at ease and completely talked me through the whole process. Will never go anywhere else for my piercings now.
B. S.
I was quite nervous to get my piercing (double upper lobe) but Kitty made me feel super comfortable and relaxed about the whole procedure. The shop is super clean and tidy, and the other staff I spoke to were also lovely and polite. I was fully briefed on aftercare which was super helpful. Highly recommended these guys!!
R. F.
I had been toying with the idea of getting an industrial ear piercing for a long time, and since lockdown restrictions had come to an end, I decided to finally take the plunge. Holier Than Thou have an outstanding reputation and it's well deserved - I was seen to quickly and everyone inside was friendly and attentive. Received a leaflet which described everything I needed to know regarding aftercare in detail which was very helpful and even an ego-boosting "I was brave" sticker (although I know I wasn't). Very happy with my new piercing, will definitely be coming back. Would recommend to anyone. :)
I. E.
Had my rook and 2 upper lobe piercings done today by Bex and it was such a lovely experience. She totally put me at ease and kept checking up on me to see if I was comfortable throughout the piercing. The shop is clean, professional and everyone is super friendly. I'll definitely be back for all my future piercings, thank you Bex :)
T.
Absolutely cannot thank everyone at holier and thou enough! I’ve had a few bad experiences at other piercing shops in Manchester so was feeling very nervous and put off having any more piercings to start with. However I braved it out and had my nipple piercings re done at holier than thou yesterday and it was my most comfortable experience! I felt very very welcomed by the team who were helpful and friendly. The person on the reception was absolutely lovely too (not 100% sure of their name). Elise did my piercings for me. They’re so lovely and made me feel so at ease.
I also visited last year as I was having lots of issues with my piercings that I had done at another studio (mentioning no names, let’s just say it’s within close proximity to Holier than thou), and Marcus was so helpful!! Not once have I felt uncomfortable with any of the piercers at this studio.
Absolutely in love with my new piercings and thankful that I’ve finally found a piercing studio in which I can feel comfortable visiting and reassured that I will get good quality piercings. Thank you so so so much you beautiful people!!!!
K. J.
I absolutely love this place! Amazing friendly staff and such a clean and safe place to be pierced! 😄
EDIT: I absolutely love this place! I have never had a bad experience, everyone is so lovely and I always feel safe, valid and completely secure when getting pierced here. I have had two sets of different piercings here with Kitty and again, she makes me feel safe and I am perfectly at ease when getting pierced. I also saw an interaction on the front desk where a young girl came in with her mum to get her first ever lobes done. The woman in the counter was so nice and made sure the girl understood she was able to stop whenever she wanted to. Just a wonderful experience!
G. P.
Fantastic place and people, I could not recommend it enough :)
All the staff is so professional and extremely friendly, the jewellery is gorgeous and of great quality. I had three piercings done Holier than Thou and every time I am so pleased with the service. Everyone is super kind, they give you so many advices for the aftercare and if you ever need after you can always get in touch to ask for help!
I would also recommend having your lashes done by Krystle, she’s an artist! Every time I visit, I can’t wait to go back!
P. M.
Went in on Saturday 26th of march 2022 loved my experience there all staff are warm and welcoming ...i had my large gauge ear lobe done ....was concerned it seemed lose and i went in today 29th march they looked at it and turnes out id knocked the o ring and they were only to happy to replace it for me
100 percent would recommend and i will definitely be going back
L. A.
The customer service from these guys was out of this world. I have never experienced such a friendly team. I felt completely comfortable and they went above and beyond to change my piercing in time for my wedding. It’s made my day, I couldn’t recommend enough.
L. T.
Just got two piercings there the atmosphere and staff are wonderful definitely recommend to anyone wanting a new piercing
B.
I had both nipples pierced by Marc, and it was a great experience from start to finish. Staff at the reception were friendly and helpful, and I love that the form I was asked to fill in included a section to let staff know one’s pronouns!
The actual piercing was fast, efficient, and I felt comfortable the entire time in Marc’s clearly very professional hands. The aftercare was well explained, and I was told when to look to downsize as well as how to book in for this.
I am a long time loyal customer and I will continue to come here for all my piercing needs.
C. N.
I've only been to HTT twice (once to get a previous piercing checked that was done by another studio and the other to get pierced by the lovely Jenny), and on both occasions I have been so amazed by the professionalism and care that I have received. The studio has the most amazing jewellery and the staff are all lovely and so accommodating. Jenny is an angel in human form! She is one of the nicest people I have ever met, and she dedicated so much of her time to help me pick my jewellery and go through ideas with me. Nothing was too much to ask. The precision and attention to detail that she put into her work was incredible- I have never had a piercing experience as professional as that. I was quite nervous to get pierced, and she made sure that she would talk me through every stage and always asked if I was ready. She pierced both piercings beautifully and so far I have had no pain (even with two cartilage piercings)! She has the kindest soul and is a credit to Holier Than Thou, and I cannot wait to get more piercings with her.
J. S.
Lovely place. Gave me great advice and really worked towards my needs as an autistic woman. Couldn't reccomend enough
M. D.
Fully professional, warm and welcoming staff. I got my nipples pierced by Kitty and it was a great experience. By talking a lot and joking she took the stress off my shoulders. Implant grade titanium barbells look great and the pain level was much lower then I anticipated. I'm definitely gonna get pierced there again!
S. N.
Edit: 05 Aug 21
Went back to get my industrial piercing ends changed and got another lobe piercing with Kitty. Wonderful place, they are all really lovely and I cannot recommend them enough!
Having heard and seen horror stories about industrial piercings, they were patient with me from the start- I asked them loads of questions over the phone which were very patiently answered. They first asked me to come in to get my anatomy checked for the piercing and were completely honest about the placement. They had two piercers check it to make absolutely sure. Two days after the actual piercing, it is healing well without any pain at all. Actually, the pain subsided in a couple of hours! They give me detailed aftercare advice and asked me to not panic in case something goes wrong and to come to them immediately. The place is very clean and sanitised thoroughly in between customers. All sterilised equipment is opened up in front of you so you can be sure. Kitty was calm, reassuring and took good care of a very anxious me. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and would not hesitate going there again.

Took my daughter (10) for her ears pierced for the first time. We did a little research and some of the major high street chains didn’t get great reviews. Looking online, nobody had anything but kind words to say about Holier Than Thou and I can totally see why. All of the staff are so lovely and friendly. They immediately put me at ease and I knew we’d picked the right place. They took their time to explain the process - there were forms to fill out and it just felt like an incredibly safe and caring environment. Just been back yesterday for her downsizing and again another wonderful experience. Thank you so much team (esp Sage) - we’ll be back !
S. R.
Really fantastic service. This was my first piercing and all the staff were absolutely lovely. They guided me through the whole process and put me at ease as I felt quite nervous. Everything was very clean and hygienic. Can't recommend highly enough!
R. R.
I got my nipple pierced here at the beginning of December and I couldn't rate them highly enough! Knowing I was a bit nervous, Elise (and everyone else!) made sure to put me at ease and make sure I was 100% comfortable and happy.
Elise herself was so gentle with the piercing, and kept me at ease throughout the piercing, she reassured me and gave me thorough instructions on how to care for my piercings. The support after has been fab too, they reply to messages quickly, and help whenever you have an issue.
Don't think I'll ever go anywhere else for my piercings. :)
Y. M.
Eventhough the wait was a little more than what I expected, the experience was positive and the piercing was quick and a lot less painful than what I was imagine. Thank you
C. B.
I had 4 ear piercings done in 2 weeks and I can't recommend Holier Than Thou highly enough. The staff are extremely professional and make you feel very welcome - this was my first time in the studio. The whole process is explained thoroughly and they are happy to spend time with you choosing the perfect piece of jewellery. I've had problems healing cartilage piercings in the past and so far I'm not experiencing any of the problems I've had before. If you want extra holes added to your body definitely go to Holier Than Thou!
M. M.
Really friendly atmosphere, I had my septum pierced last week and the piercer, Kitty, was very nice and down to earth. And also the person with purple hair at the desk (sorry i forgot your name) really brightened my day! Love the piercing thank you!
S. T.
I came in to have my second lobe piercings and tragus done. Very wide range of beautiful jewellery, the staff are absoloutley lovely, so friendly and really put you at ease. Extremely professional and clean, will only be going here for my piercings going forward. Highly recommend
K. G.
A great experience and fantastic, friendly staffing team! Super facilities, clean and safe environment.
Really couldn't be happier with the service received and would recommend them as THE best piercing place in Manchester.
You can tell that they care about their profession, their clients and about the creative work they're doing in the field of body mods.
C. R.
I took the plunge and went to get my ears pierced after a failed attempt a few years ago. I am so happy I did because the experience I had at Holier Than Thou was nothing short of amazing. I was so impressed by the range of earrings and the staff were so lovely and knowledgeable. It's well worth going!
L. S.
I had such a great experience earlier today at holier than thou, all the staff were so warm and welcoming it didn't feel like a piercing appointment in a covid environment at all. The staff worked really really hard to reduce wait times and managed the busy lunch time queue really efficiently and professionally in a time when it's really hard to see people quickly. The whole team greeted you with a hello, they were playing great music to listen to while you wait and the most important part my piercings were handled gently and have turned out exactly how I wanted them to. Big thanks to everyone at holier than though for a great appointment.
B. S.
Great experience here. Staff were super friendly and really organised. Everything was explained meticulously and I felt really at ease. Will definitely be going back for all future piercings.
J. S.
I'm someone who gets nervous quite easily in these kinds of places as I have quite a bit of sensory issues- but I had the absolute best experience ^^ Jenny was super helpful and accommodating helping me find the best jewellery for me, and making me feel completely at ease. My helix piercing was done by Marcus, and I felt hardly any pain whatsoever, which is big coming from me as I'm a total crybaby. Thanks so much guys <3 I'll definitely be back
N. B.
Brilliant from beginning to end. Girls were super friendly, medical questionnaire was lengthy. Marc the piercer was fantastic. Very in depth when talking about the process of a microdermal, and the after care. I expected pain, but honestly felt none. He made sure he kept checking the anchor was in and sat flat, obviously cares about his work. if I lived anywhere near Manchester I would go there for all my piercings.
E.
The professionalism from the staff sets these guys apart from other piercing shops. They was so lovely and helpful. Best piercing studio in Manchester without a doubt!
N. P.
Amazing staff, super friendly, very knowledgeable. I had my nose and tragus piercer at a different studio and recieved very little advice and was sold dodgey aftercare products. Holier than thou pierced my helix and my seconds and gave me advice on how to care for my other piercings too! Amazing selection of jewellery for all budgets. Can't wait to go back and have my daith and other helix done.
I. E.
The people there are so friendly and helpful. Also do care about your health which I have never experienced from any of the other tattoo parlours I've been too. Will definitely be back for future piercings and tattoos!!
C. E.
I visited for a treatment with Lashes of Lillith, and couldn't be more pleased. Not only do the lash extensions look great, but the establishment as a whole was so lovely. They are friendly, professional and inclusive from the get go. I was so looked after by krystle, soni would love to use her services again, but I would also visit fornpuercing needs. Overall, super positive, coulsnt recommend them more!
f.
Absolutley love this place! That staff are always so friendly and enthusiastic, and the selection of jewellery is amazing. This was my second time getting pierced here and I can defo see myself coming here for all future piercings :]
A. W.
I went here upon the reccommendation from a friend... I was not disappointed! Although I was nervous, I was put at ease by everyone I met. They were so kind, professional and helpful. I would definitely go back if I decided to have any more piercings done in the future! Thank you to everyone at Holier Than Thou xxx
S. B.
I had a great experience with the team at Holier Than Though! Caring, knowledgeable and professional. Would recommend them to anyone wanting to get a piercing!
S. O.
I have been here a couple of times now and felt the need to write a glowing review. I most recently went at the bank holiday weekend and was pierced by Kitty. I was expecting a bit of a wait but I was seen super quickly. I initially went in to get a double tragus piercing but unfortunately I didn't have the correct anatomy, although Kitty did inform me I had space for a double rook instead so I decided to go with that (which I now prefer!) She also told me my old daith piercing was migrating (pierced at another shop) so kindly removed it for me and pierced my daith on my other ear. She was super professional and welcoming and asked if Jenny the apprentice could watch my piercings. Jenny was also lovely and was telling me about her learning experience. I've previously had another great experience a few weeks before with a male piercer but unfortunately I didn't catch his name.
Prices are possibly slightly higher than some other places but you definitely get what you pay for! Excellent customer care, jewellery quality, cleanliness and all-round experience! Will be going there exclusively for any future piercings - and not just for the free bravery stickers!
G. K.
The only place I will ever get pierced! I went here yesterday for yet another one of my piercings! They are always so so extremely polite! All of the staff are so welcoming and friendly! i had both of my nostrils pierced by Kitty and Jenny was watching and learning!
I felt really comfortable and they were great moral support seeing as you can’t have friends in with you because of COVID!
I was quite early and they weren’t bothered in the slightest they got me in straight away and had time for everyone! Everywhere was super clean and everyone was following the right social distancing and guidelines! I was extremely happy with both my piercings and would absolutely recommend to anyone for any piercings, tattoos or any other body mods!
By far the best place to get pierced with the most lovely and open staff and well trained staff! Always feel so safe and welcome there!
Thanks guys,
Grace 💓
D. Z.
I’ve been going to holier than thou since i got my belly pierced 5 years ago and I’ve never had a bad experience! They’re all amazing and the quality cant be beaten. Ill never go to anyone else for piercings, you just cant get better than them!
j. r.
Great place for piercings lgbt friendly

Don't usually post reviews but was blown away by how wonderful everyone at Holier Than Thou was, went for my jewelry change appointment with Sage (who is just so lovely) about 3 weeks ago, I traveled from approx an hour away because I wanted to go somewhere that was listed on UKAPP and there's nowhere by me that is, this place is great! Everyone's very knowledgeable and I've now got a nice good quality titanium piece in my tragus - which I had pierced elsewhere with steel and it just wasn't healing - will definitely be making the trip back here instead for my next few piercings once this has fully healed! Plus it's a nice excuse for a day out in Manchester as well haha!
J. K.
5/5 in every way! I got my ear pierced and the whole experience was amazing. The staff was helpful, professional and made me feel welcome straight away! Can't wait to go back💯
D. F.
Amazing place, they were really nice and super profissional. I was a bit anxious about getting my first piercing, but they calmed me down and the whole thing was super fast. If I ever decide to get another piercing, I will definitely come back here :)
L. S.
The ONLY place to go for a piercing. First of all, the staff actually care about you as a person and make you feel safe. Second, they’re experts in their field of knowledge. Finally, the piercings are super quick, so quick you barely feel anything. Huge respect for this place!
S. C.
Great service and advice from the start. My original idea was worked into a beautiful piece by Christine that I am absolutely thrilled with. They even threw in a touch up on an old tattoo at no extra cost. Also, great music and conversation. I wouldn't have work done anywhere else!
A. P. (.
Had my ears pierced here around 8 weeks ago (wanted to wait until my piercings healed fully before reviewing) and honestly cannot recommend this place enough, I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Jenny helped me pick out the jewellery and Marcus pierced my ears, they were both lovely and calming and the piercings have healed really nicely. Was so nervous about getting my ears pierced but everything went so well that I’ll be having more done. Thank you holier than thou for a fab experience!
D.
Hands down the best experience every time I go, wonderful staff, mind boggling array of jewellery, super clean studios. And a wealth of experience and loveliness. You’d be a fool to consider anywhere else xx
N. M.
Amazing staff! Very friendly and made me feel very comfortable. I have tried many other places for piercings and their service was no where near as good as HTT! I will be back for sure
O. R.
I went to Holier Than Thou to get a conch piercing and was so nervous after having previous piercings be very painful. However, I hardly felt! It was over so quickly and everyone was so friendly and made me feel relaxed. Would definitely recommend going here for any piercings.
H. D.
Couldn't be happier with my experience at Holier than Thou, everyone was so friendly and helpful. I felt relaxed the entire time I was there and they made everything as safe and painless as possible. I wouldn't go anywhere else from now on.
B. W.
Amazing atmosphere, great pricing, very professional and a great experience overall. If I could stand the pain, I would get pierced here again!
J. C.
HTT have a spotless studio from which they run a fantastic piercing and tattooing studio.
The staff are approachable and knowledgeable and give advice and support without any pressure to use the services available. My experience was excellent from start to finish, from discussion about my piercing (ie how much discomfort to expect, agreement on location of piercing) before to thorough advice about after care.
The studio has an amazing range of jewellery, something for everyone. The staff can advise about which pieces are suited to initial piercings if this is required, or go feast your eyes and treat yourself!
I wouldn't go anywhere else and I can't recommend HTT highly enough.
A. K. E.
Easily the best place for piercings in Manchester! Staff are so friendly, thorough and really easy to talk to
S. C.
Booked an appointment for a stacked lobe piercing yesterday. Very friendly staff, felt very comfortable and not intimidated at all, answered all of my questions, very quick service, very happy with my new piercings, thank you very much. I will be back for more in the future ☺️👍🏼
i.
fave piercing place i’ve ever been. now had three done there (with one being an amaze apprentice piercing). the friendliest staff who always make me feel comfortable and relaxed. nowhere i could recommend more :)
K. E.
Great place to get your piercings. Everyone was really helpful and friendly. Got my tragus done and a couple of lobe piercings re-opened that had closed a bit. Explained what was going on and what to expect. Really quick and gave plenty of advise after. All the jewellry is high quality and lots of variety. Would definitely recommend.
L. P.
Brilliant! Will always recommend Holier Than Thou for piercings. Professional, considerate, friendly and knowledgeable folks who put anyone visiting at ease and give each person their full attention and assistance. Plus, have you seen the cabinets? 😍 ...the jewellery selection is immense! I'll be back soon to treat myself to some lovely sparkles.
R. S.
Great place, clean & friendly. Immediately helped out when I was having a problem. Will be back for sure.
B. W.
Really clean and lovely piercing shop with super friendly, knowledgeable and proffessional staff. Great range of prices for jewelry pieces, simple and easy booking system and reasonable prices for services considering quality and skill of staff. Had my medusa repierced here, was super fast and the piercing is perfect! Highly recommended for any piercing/tattoo needs in Manchester City centre (just make sure to book online first!) 🖤
g. S.
Thanks guys, I had my septum done on Saturday and it was super quick and efficient!
Staff was friendly and helpful. Although I didn't get a much needed cuddle afterwards 🙄. I wouldn't go anywhere else! Thanks again.
Oh and just to let you know, after the actual peircing pain, iv felt hardly anything! It's been 3 days and it feels pretty much healed! So I'm super happy 😁
P.s im your 1000th review! 🎉🎊... I will accept my prize through the post 🙃
D. D. N.
I've never had a piercing in my life, and at 28 I chose to have myself pierced by holier than thou! She was beautiful and professional at the same time, obviously I was a bit nervous as my first experience, but she managed to make me feel comfortable with all the information she provided me. What is left? A beautiful and unforgettable experience! See u soon!
B. T.
So professional, the most lovely staff and top notch piercer. Everything spotlessly clean, everything opened up in front of me so reassured by standards. I was pierced by Kitty who's incredibly skilled and knowledgeable and could advise me in order to get an optimal result. Would not consider going anywhere else.
K. D.
Professional, fast, very friendly. Had my septum done here almost a month ago - healed perfectly. Lost a ball, went to ask for advice - they have me a bunch of new ones in case it happened again. Absolutely can recommend!
P.s. also gave me a cute 'i was brave' sticker even though I really wasn't hahahaha.
J. H.
Fantastic experience. Very strict with hygiene and cleanliness, no compromises on that which is great. A large selection of different jewellery for all budgets. All staff very friendly and helpful and will take the time to offer advice on the right jewellery for the piercing.
J. A.
Every time I’ve been here the staff are knowledgeable and super friendly! Also their selection of different jewelry options is great, the most options out of any shop I’ve been to. Would definitely recommend.
M. G.
I had the best experience here. Panicked because I chose a nose stud I thought was too big once it was in. I was so embarrassed to ask to change it less than an hour later, but they were so kind and told me to come back the same day to sort it out because they wanted me to be happy with it. Can't thank them enough for their kindness and patience.
H.
I highly recommend HTT. After I moved to Manchester and first visited HTT, I have not been anywhere else for my piercings. I even travel in now that I live out of the area! All staff are friendly and professional. The studio is always clean to the highest standard. Thank you, guys!
N. G.
Staff are so nice and understanding and reassuring. I had my septum done here and the lady talked me through the whole thing and helped my worries, everything is sanitised and sterile. The actual piercing went very smooth, they know what they're doing. Deffo worth it
s. h.
All the girls were super super nice and friendly, they made me feel so comfortable when choosing the jewelleries and getting the piercings done too!! Don’t know what was the name of the girl who did my piercings, but she had a bun and was wearing like black velvet pants, she explained everything so nicely and clearly to me😭♥️ you can see that they really love their job and they do it with passion♥️ the place is clean too! I’m surely going back to you to get the rest of my piercings done!! Thank you so much guys!!!
H. F.
I had my septum and nostril done at the weekend. Staff were so polite and accommodating. Highly recommend. I am back in this weekend for another!
P. T.
I’ve gone here for all 10 of my piercings and had an excellent experience every time, the staff are very friendly and efficient and make sure I feel comfortable!
S. t.
Booked in for a piercing 17th Oct, was super nervous. Kitty and Aj were so lovely and supportive calming me down. Honestly cannot recommend them enough
S. M.
Got pierced today and I can honestly say it was the best piercing experience I’ve had! Super friendly staff and an immaculate studio! I was only in Manchester for a couple of days and they made sure that if anything goes wrong or I’ve got questions they will be happy to keep in contact and sort it from a distance! I was waiting for a while to be seen but the staff made me feel really relaxed and made me feel so welcome. They were also incredibly professional to myself and the dozen or so other clients that came into the studio. Highly recommend and I will definitely be back to get more piercings here ❤️
H. C.
I came and got my nostrils pierced by the lovely Jenny, and it was by far one of my best piercing experiences. She was so sweet and bubbly, and she asked for my consent on EVERYTHING which made me feel welcome and safe. The piercing itself is expertly done with high quality (gorgeous) jewellery, and I can't wait to go back <3
J.
Absolutely brilliant staff, couldn't rate it more will definitely return.
They were obviously so so busy so many people coming in and even repeating themselves over and over they were still as polite as the first time .The piercer did an amazing job very happy !! Very professional place !!
H. M.
Amazing service.
Got my third appointment booked here. Love it.
L. “.
All staff where friendly and happy to help, very knowledgeable too, with nothing being to much for them! There was no rushing either, nice chilled environment. Had my daith pierced by kitty who was wonderful and very professional, would definitely come back for another piercing when in Manchester again. Thanks guys for a spot on experience 👌
K. F.
I visited them on Saturday for downsizing, they were really sweet and helpful, they helped me find something in my budget. I love the earrings we picked out, we picked out a paw print, moon and a pair of 3mm Swarovski earrings, I will be visiting again when I decide to get some more ear piercings!
G. R.
Absolutely brilliant. I got my eyebrow pierced there by Kitty. I'm definitely getting more piercings there.
S. M.
Super quick and easy even with multiple piercings. The team were super friendly and answered any and all questions. I'll definitely go back !!
R. G.
2nd time having my ears pierced and its a wonderful, welcoming place! Really felt same with covid secure measures and the staff were so so helpful. I can be pretty anxious at times so they were brilliant at putting my mind at ease about all the steps of the procedure and I'd definitely recommend it
P. D.
A UK Association of professional piercers member, they are a piercing studio with a great reputation. For the very best in the region they are my first choice.
Just bought myself and my partner some pretty things :)
K. R.
Amazing quality piercers for affordable prices! They were all so friendly and lovely, they made my first time visiting them feel so welcomed! Can't wait to go back and see them all again!
G. C.
First piercing and I was really nervous, but wanted it done so much. I was reassured and treated with patience. The staff are very knowledgeable and professional. The person who pierced my nose went through a dummy run so I knew exactly what to expect. Plenty of aftercare advice is given, verbally, in a pamphlet and is also available on their website. The shop is full of beautiful pieces of jewellery to choose from and I can't wait to buy a new stud after the initial 6 weeks is up. Thank you for a perfect first experience. ❤
V. W.
had 3 ear piercings , no pain, the staff were brilliant. Recommend Holier than Thou to anyone, I will certainly be back.
Apologies, this was definitely 5 star service all the way!!
L. I.
Can't rate this place high enough. Brilliant service, brilliant people and amazing results. So happy with my new piercings and will definitely be back.
G. B.
Couldn’t recommend this place enough! Came in for a septum piercing today and I absolutely love it!!! The person on reception was so professional and lovely! I was abit nervous about the piercing but Kitty made me feel really at ease, and was so so nice!!🥰
I. M.
Absolutely brilliant place! Staff are all really well trained and friendly, brilliant jewellery selection only down side is they’re always so busy because they’re so good!
C. C.
Had a piercing there yesterday with Sage.The staff were all incredibly friendly and all were very helpful.
K. A.
Would never recommend anyone else for piercings or mods ever! The studio is bright and immaculate, there's always plenty of wonderful jewellery. All of the staff are AMAZING and very knowledgeable and know what to do if you are feeling a bit nervous. Getting piercings is a total and complete delight going there and I cannot thank them enough 💜
O. G.
Amazing customer service, friendly staff and a mind boggling amount of beautiful jewellery pieces to choose from. Clean, tidy and professional.
They gave good advice about aftercare when I developed a bump on my piercing, which has now resolved. Highly recommend.
I. S. E.
Got my Septum pierced here today! Wonderful team, patient and helpful. Clean studio and good cleanliness standards (new needles, gloves etc), which is to be expected from a UKAPP studio. I went in the day before my piercing to pick the brains of the team and to look at jewellery, bringing up every worry I had about my piercing, and they answered every question I had in full detail. They were also really professional when I originally messaged them on social media. So impressed and delighted with new piercing! It’s well placed and everything I wanted. Would definitely recommend them to anyone who may be a bit nervous and wants to make sure they go to a reputable place. Thanks guys.
M. B.
I went to get my septum done and honestly received the best service. The staff we’re so kind and welcoming. It was all done fast and efficiently. I definitely will be going again for more piercings. Highly recommend
S. G.
Love the team at HTT - for both tattoos and piercings they have always provided a friendly and professional service! Cheers team 🙌
G. R.
The only place I will get piercings done.
This is the best bunch of friendly, calm, inspiring, helpful people you’ll ever meet. A very progressive business that include all and make everyone feel welcome and well looked after. Stunning selection of jewellery too
A. N.
Super clean, lovely ambiance and wonderful people. I recently had some body piercings done by Kitty and I am in love with the results. Kitty is a master of her craft, working with a surgeon like precision besides being very kind and understanding. For any body piercings, I highly recommend her and Holier Than Thou.
J. W.
I’ve never had a quicker piercing procedure in my life! All of the staff were extremely lovely and helpful, considering it being quite a busy day for them. My piercer made me feel very comfortable and welcome! The studio is extremely clean, and has such a great atmosphere! Definitely recommend to anybody wanting safe and professional piercings.
K. F.
Nice and quick ear lobe piercing for a very reasonable price.
q. t.
Absolutely exemplary, all the staff are so lovely. I love my piercing and although I'm a customer with complex needs they took it in stride and couldn't have done more to accommodate me.
K. D.
Amazing place. All the staff are super friendly, knowledgeable and awesome at their job. I’ve had all my piercings done here and I now have my tattoos here too. Their client education is so good I now find myself giving lectures on safe piercing and always recommending Holier. Keep up the good work guys! Xxx
E.
I am scared of needles and often get a bit sick/faint. I thought a piercer would tell me to just not bother getting pierced. They didn't, they supported me and made me feel welcome and not like I was causing a problem. They knew what to do when I got a little bit faint and I managed to get my piercings safely, and as comfortably as possible. They also made sure I got jewellery I liked within my budget, it was such a personal experience. I will be returning for more and don't want to go anywhere else for my piercing needs!
J. B.
Top studio, top people who stick up for the community! well done
G. J.
Thank you so much for looking after mee on Monday fantastic service. The best in the biz I'm so happy with
my piercing.
H. S.
Very clean and professional place to go for a piercing or tattoo! I went on a Saturday for walk in to get my ears done and was seen to in 15 minutes (it was about 5pm though they are always busy on the weekend) the people there are very welcoming and lovely, once I sat down in the room to get my piercings I noticed how organised and hygienic they all were. My walk in literally took 30 seconds and use needles- no guns thank goodness! Made it less painless and shall definitely go back for my next future piercings! :)
P. R.
I dont know the name of the gentleman who pierced me but he said he has been doing it for 20 years. He was AMAZING. He was so quick and it was virtually painless. He was also so lovely to talk to and very honest and kind. If i lived in Manchester i would demand to be pierced by him every time. He was honestly brilliant (but i hear they all are)
Edit: maybe his name was Marcus??
K.
Tl;dr: Very friendly staff. Professional, courteous, quick, and very precise and well done.
I had been wanting a septum piercing for a while and since I’m on vacation, I figured now would be the perfect time for a new first. I looked up piercing places and found this was the best reviewed, and I totally understand why. Everyone was so nice and Marcus is the one who did my piercing. He explained every detail while staying very courteous and professional, and while I was freaking out a bit he made sure to explain every step. The piercing didn’t hurt nearly as bad as I expected and honestly, waiting in line was the longest part of being there. Even so, we were in and out within 20 minutes. 100% would recommend to everyone.
I. I.
A perfect place to get pierced, the staff is super nice, knowledgeable and available, everything is clean to the highest standard, everybody take their job very seriously. Highly recommend !
L. M.
I've had a total of seven piercings and one tattoo at Holier Than Thou over the last five years, and they are consistently brilliant. Friendly, professional, welcoming and still reasonably priced. The shop is spotlessly clean and there's a great range of jewellery to choose from. Everything I've had done there has healed beautifully, and when I've had questions during the healing phase they're great at responding to messages and continuing to offer support and advice. Can't recommend this place highly enough!
D. R.
Excellent service, when having a double helix, completely put at ease by staff. Studs chosen, medical form completed and piercings done in about 15mins. Could not fault the place. Fully recommend. 10/10
C. H.
I got my helix pierced by Elise yesterday and cannot reccommend this place enough. I've been pierced at a few different shops and this is the one I'll be coming back to for any future piercings! Elise was really helpful, helping me pick some beautiful jewellery - the piercing was so quick and pain-free, definitely the best experience I've had being pierced! Can't wait to come back for my next one! :-)
M. W.
Fab service, clean and very professional... the guy who did my piercings was really friendly but didn’t mess around so it was over and done with before I even got chance to get nervous; brilliant!! The woman on reception was lovely too, very accommodating and I overheard her giving another customer solid advice
Seem to really care about the customers in here, great value for the service you get! :)
J. A.
I've had 3 piercings from Holier Than Thou, always get amazing customer service from the desk and from the professional piercers. Great advise on the dos and donts during healing and the cleaning process.
J. M.
I'm pregnant and couldn't unscrew my navel piercing which had been in for 8 years. Id been worrying about it and quite a few friends and clinicians had already tried to remove it with no success. I popped into Holier Than Thou who saw to me straight away, removed it quickly and sensitively (I was nervous about baby) and didn't charge me a penny! I really can't rate them highly enough
J. S.
I've had four piercings done at holier than thou since moving to Manchester and I have had amazing experiences each time, all the staff are friendly and professional, and want to make sure you have the best experience you can.
I got plenty of advice on the aftercare and upkeep of my piercings and they were happy to address any concerns I had after my nape piercing wasn't healing like it was supposed to (I get a lot of swelling so the bar was just a bit too small, they sized it up for free and it's been perfect ever since).
The studio was kept very clean and had a huge range of jewellery for you to pick from, I recommend this place to anyone wanting a new piercing.
L. F.
Holier than Thou have done all my piercings and jewellery changes for the last few years. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Had a new snug piercing yesterday by the very lovely Kitty who was fab as always. Friendly, professional and very smiley (can see that even with her face mask on). Both her and Alex spent time helping me pick out the right jewellery too which was great. Never had a bad experience at HTT. I one hundred percent recommend.
A. A.
Superb knowledgeable service. Really friendly and reassuring. Plenty of choice of jewellery.
H. M.
Have been coming here for piercings for over 10 years and they consistently deliver. The staff are professional, knowledgeable and genuinely seem to care that you have a 5* experience with them. The aftercare has always been excellent too (particularly from Bex) which as someone who tends to panic, is really important to me. You pay for what you get, and you get the best. Amazing selection of high end jewellery too.
A. H.
Had all my piercings hear as has my fiancee. Never an issue, always clean, always professional and the jewelry is top quality (never had an infection from it). The team make you feel so at ease. We will always come back!
J. H.
Kind and attentive staff with a lovely selection of jewellery. Thank you for your patience with my questions and uncertainty, especially the lovely receptionist!
E. M.
The friendly staff here helped me fix my nose piercing. They were so helpful and sympathetic of my situation and managed to fit me in even though I didn't have an appointment and they were booked up. Thank you!
Y. S.
I had my piercing done today ( dermal piercing on chest ) I was very nervous about the whole idea but determined to get it done. The man who did the piercing was very nice, helpful and quick. It did not hurt as much as I had imagined and within minutes I was out. I definitely recommend this place as it's professional, clean, quick and no need to book an appointment. I am very happy with the service, thank you xx
J. L.
Been meaning to write a review for ages! Had about 7 piercings done here over the years & won't go anywhere else. Staff are welcoming & knowledgeable & my piercings always heal well by following provided aftercare. The studio is always clean which is a main factor for me in continuing to feel safe & getting pierced here.
M. J.
Extremely professional and friendly piercing staff! Brilliant experience, felt very safe and looked after the whole time. Highly recommend :)
K. L.
Came in today to get my Rook pierced. Have been here a few times before to get piercings and every time the members of staff have always been very professional and friendly. However today was the first time I had Bex and if I were ever to get another piercing I would request her every time!! I was very nervous about getting it done but she was so friendly!! She done everything to make me more relaxed, allowed me to ask as many questions as I wanted and the piercing was done so quickly that I didn't even have time to panic about it once in the room!! Highly recommend this piercing shop and Bex!! Wouldn't dream of going anywhere else!
M. J.
Great service from booking to visit. Lovely, friendly knowledgeable staff. Visited for a piercing, full process explained from start to finish including aftercare. Will definitely recommend.
S. E. W.
Extremely happy that I found this gem of a shop. A big shout out to Elise in particular for helping me fix 2 piercings that I’d had done previously that another piercer (from a different shop) had completely messed up. Her professionalism and kindness towards me was outstanding. Thank you so much! I will be coming back to this store in future for anymore additional piercings I choose to get 😊
F.
Very friendly experienced staff. Knowledgable and honest. Piercing after-care instructions were very helpful.
The place was super clean too, which is the most important thing to me when looking for a piercing place.
Bex (piercer) was absolutely great! Would definitely recommend to anyone in Manchester looking to get a new piercing! 🤘
M. B.
The staff are absolutely amazing and a credit to Manchester. Really impressive how safely and well organised they're running with covid restrictions in place for such a small shop. And not once have I had any post piercing issues from this place. Great place
L. L.
I've had lots of piercings done at lots of different shops but this is HANDS DOWN the best. Got my nose pierced today with Kitty; she was so nice and really put me at ease. There is a FAR wider choice of studs than I've ever seen before and the staff have real expertise; this was also DEFINITELY the quickest and most painless nose piercing I've ever had done. There are cheaper places, but it's definitely worth paying the extra to come here. I recommend x1000. Thanks, Kitty! 😽
E. N.
I've had tattoos before but not in Manchester, I was a little nervous about visiting a new artist but Pippa was so lovely and I am so happy with my new tattoos.
D. L.
Took my 10yo to have ear lobes pierced. The staff here were amazing, friendly, well informed, covid safe and most of all took the time to make the person who was getting the piercings feel reassured.
L. B.
I will always be coming here for my piercings. Had 2 so far done here after it being recommended by friends and it is such a friendly and professional environment. You know you're in safe hands and leave feeling confident you've had the best advice on how to look after your new piercing.
L. B.
Amazing staff. The guys here are brilliant, warn and friendly, professional, polite and they genuinely care about what they do. They're always happy to give aftercare advice and help you no end to pick the jewellery type and style you want. Only place I'll ever go for piercings.
M. R.
Nice clean shop, went through the piercing well in advance and made me feel really at ease. Fantastic aftercare advice, I would definitely recommend them.
A. J.
Not going to lie, went once.... came out with my nose and ear pierced... so, why did I only go once I hear you ask.... well, because I live in the Midlands and this place is in Manchester... having said that, I'm definitely going back on my next visit! Staff were great,very knowledgeable and to me (someone who's terrified of needles) really, REALLY reassuring. If it's your first time guys, go here... you'll be a customer for life!
K. C.
Huge, huge thanks to Tall who pierced my septum today. Super easy, quick and informative. Wouldn't go to anyone else - he's a piercing hero!
The shop is well equipped for all things COVID-19 and such a warm welcome. Thanks so much!
S. K.
Spot on studio. Hygiene, knowledge and professionalism second to none, had several piercings and some scarification done here, no problems with any of their work. The staff are always friendly and helpful, offering great follow up advise aswell as talking you clearly through each procedure. The piercing room is spotless and private (though they did let me and a friend go in together for some much needed support). Tried other studios in the past and it was a piercer from another studio that recommended these guys to me...quite ironic?! I seriously wouldn't recommend anywhere but here, fantastic work.
W. M.
Holier is the only place I go for piercings now, and they've done most of my tattoos as well. Recently I've had a lot of my jewellery out and went to see if my conch piercing was still open, and if not, if they could re-pierce it.
When I arrived the shop was scrupulously clean as always and I was met by the lovely Nicky, who is currently apprenticing as a piercer there. She took a look and confirmed it had closed up, and booked me in. I was given the choice of being pierced by herself or or one of the fully trained piercers: I opted for Nicky.
Nicky was supervised by an experienced piercer but did the job perfectly, and was friendly and professional throughout. I've never had any trouble with a piercing from Holier but as usual she nevertheless checked I knew what to do about aftercare, and stressed I should come back if I experienced any problems at all.
Holier is also probably your best bet if you've never been pierced before, or never had anything beyond basic lobes: the staff are always friendly and knowledgeable and more than happy to explain anything you're unsure about.
H. M.
Had my ears re-pierced here recently and the staff are all friendly and super professional with Covid precautions. Shout out to Elise for who pierced my ears, they were very bubbly and helpful!
R. K.
I had a daith piercing here. It was very safe, hygienic and supportive. Everyone was friendly and it was the least intimidating piercing place ever. Totally recommend.
K. M.
Been going to these guys for years now and have ended up with some really great piercings and mates as well! Super friendly and comforting so exactly what you need! I trust them with every one of my piercings! Always recommended to piercings newbies and seasoned body modifiers alike. The jewellery selection is there is 10/10 as well!
B. M.
Had my nose pierced here today and the staff were lovely and helpful. Pricing is amazing (£13 for my piercing) and every piercing I've ever had here (ears, helix, belly button, tongue and the other side of my nose) has been expertly placed. They handed me an after care back containing some Q tips and sea salt, and made me feel very at ease throughout the entire process.
Can't recommend highly enough.
L. P.
Great place to get a piercing. They are very professional, friendly and helpful. The premises are clean and tidy, and the piercing is done quickly, after which sterile equipment is disposed of.
I have gotten 3 piercings here so far and I've loved them all. The first two healed brilliantly and the third one is still in the process of!
G. M.
Super friendly and helpful staff! It was my first piercing and I didn't really know how it would work or how much it would hurt but everyone I met was really kind, explained how it would all work, and talked me through it all.
A. S.
I got some piercings done here and I wish I went here sooner! Such lovely people and they really do look after you!
Z. B.
Amazing range of super high quality body adornment jewelry. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Exceptionally clean, well organised and accomodating. Will definitely be back for future piercings
P. B.
Had my daith and rook redone (and added a conch too) here yesterday. I’ve used HTT lots over the years and cannot fault them in all areas. Super knowledgeable, clean, professional and friendly. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thanks everyone.
L. J.
Really friendly staff - super helpful when I was getting my 3rd lobe piercing. Felt really safe and knew I was in good hands - the whole place was very clean and always sanitised too! Would definitely recommend.
S. C.
The best experience I have ever had with a piercing place! Bex pierced my helix and I was so calm and at ease thanks to her caring attitude. She was so knowledgeable and I will definitely be getting more piercings done here in the future.
The whole studio was clean and hygienic. Would highly recommend.
c. d.
Been coming to get pierced here for the past couple of years and have always received brilliant service. All the staff are super friendly and professional - Shout out to bex, who has done a couple of my most recent piercings, for always being super patient and understanding with my pre-piercing nerves. Would not go anywhere else in Manchester!
A. F.
Staff are really nice here, very approachable. I got my nose pierced here and currently having one of my tattoos removed. The lady who did my laser test patch and first session was lovely and put me at ease as I was a little nervous.
My nose piercing went fine and they even changed my stud to a ring for free which I wasn't expecting. Best place to get pierced!
A.
Had loads of my piercings done here and you definitely get the service you pay for. Everybody is so lovely and the do a great job every time
K. V. B.
On my last visit I got a lovely gold Deathly Hallows piercing in my conch. It looks fab, the team were very caring as always and I got great aftercare when it developed a bit of a fluid bump (it was piercing number 13!). I've had all my good piercings here and have been a customer for years. Couldn't recommend it enough!x
R. R.
Amazing place! Love the staff in here. If your nervous they make you feel at ease and any questions or enquires they are more than happy to help you. Brilliant aftercare advice too! Always go here for my piercings and i have 19 of them! Xx
E. T.
There's a lot of fantastic things to say about this place. The staff are all incredibly friendly and positive, which makes you feel very welcome. They have a wealth of knowledge between them and are more than happy to answer any questions you might have. Prices are very fair and competitive, especially considering their prime location.
One downside is they are often very very busy - no doubt due to their positive nature in the market. Expect a wait, or I'd recommend booking an appointment.
My partner has had a tattoo here and I've had piercings done by them and would definitely recommend them for both.
K. C. K.
I went to Holier Than Thou during my exchange semester and cannot recommend them enough! I got a beautiful triangle triple lobe which I absolutely love. It has been a great piercing experience and their creativity, open mindedness and professionalism was amazing! When I had some issues upon returning from Manchester I called the studio and received great support from the team. They were even so kind and sent jewellery to me in Germany as it was difficult for me to find the kind of high quality jewellery that Holier Than Thou uses here. If you’re looking for high quality piercing and kind humans look no further :)
F.
I chose to get my nose pierced here as one of my friends told me how amazing they are! I didn't get the person's name at the desk but they were extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Bex pierced me and was so professional, really friendly again and more than happy to talk through absolutely everything with me. The room was immaculate as well. 100% will be coming back here for any future piercings and couldn't recommend it highly enough. Thanks for making me feel so comfortable during my first 'proper' piercing! I'm sure I'll be back soon! :)
J. M.
Just got my nostril pierced around half an hour ago at this shop, staff were so kind and patient, my piercers bubbly personality had me completely at ease although I was bricking it! Very professional and quick, was in and out of the shop in a matter of minutes and my piercer made sure I was happy with my placement before piercing me, extremely happy with the results and will definitely return here the next time I’m in Manchester!! :)
1.
Had a Tragus piercing last weekend. The shop was beautifully clean & well equipped. The staff were super friendly, helpful & professional. They also have an extensive range of jewellery & they are more than willing to give you advice about your choices, but there is no hard sell whatsoever. Best of all for me wa that it was a pain free piercing! I highly recommend this place. Don't hesitate to book in 🙂
C. K.
I've had 14 piercings done here over the years and would never go anywhere else! They are immaculately clean, stock the best range of highest quality jewellery from simple titanium to stunning gold pieces, and are incredibly helpful and friendly! They put all my worries at ease, make things as painless as possible, and provide advice whenever I need it whether it's about changing jewellery or aftercare. I absolutely love that I don't need to be pierced with a basic piece and upgrade later, you can request to be pierced with most of the beautiful jewellery and can even customise the colours!
N. W.
Really nice staff, the best collection of jewellery for miles and a very professional shop. I had to book an appointment because they were so busy (which I think speaks volumes in itself), so had a look around and came back. When I came back, I went through the legal documents and paid up. While I was waiting, the staff were chatty and I got to look around at the huge collection of piercing jewellery. The room you get piercings in was very clean and had nice distracting wallpaper :) I can't stress how clean and professional this business is, great aftercare advice and an all around great experience! I will be traveling back to hear for my next piercings, definitely the bast place around!
E. J.
Very clean and professional! Everyones friendliness, personalities and professionalism made me feel at ease while I was getting a more intimate piercing. Felt in very safe hands!
L. W.
I have been a customer of Holier Than Thou on a number of occasion for both body modification and tattoo over the years and can’t recommend them or their staff enough. Their friendly experienced professional staff always leave me feeling I’m in safe hands and each visit has always been a brilliant experience with excellent end results. The Studio is clean, bright, welcoming and well presented, which show a sense of pride in what they do. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my body mod needs!
T. J.
Don't normally write reviews but had to give praise. I wanted a piercing and felt passionate about not getting a botch job that would later get infected. I LOVED holier than thou. They were friendly, informative and seemed to really care about the quality of what they did. I was quite new to piercings having only had my lobes done previously but don't feel in the dark about anything to do with the aftercare. I also found the shop a comfortable environment which was also very important to me. I was made to feel right at ease. Absolutely recommend
C.
Fantastic place. Went this morning to get a very dodgy swollen nose piercing looked at and the gentleman who looked after me (sorry didn’t get name!) was absolutely amazing. Changed the sterling silver piercing out and fitted new jewellery and didn’t charge me a thing! So happy there are decent people out there who are clearly masters of their art.
A. L.
Couldn't fault the piercing or the piercer. I was in and out in minutes, you could tell the guy knew what he was doing, his confidence really put me at ease. The short time I was in there he was friendly and chatty.
Piercings here are definitely slightly more expensive than elsewhere but I have confidence that they are professional and good quality so it's a no brained to pay the extra few quid (I've never had an issue with a piercing from here but have from elsewhere)
It's often busy on a weekend but I was given a time slot 10 minutes after arriving. The only slight area of improvement could be friendlier customer service.
Overall I would definitely recommend.

Had my second helix piercing done today by Kitty, who helped me pick the jewellery for my second helix and changed the jewellery in my first helix. very professional and really friendly. I have been pierced by both Kitty and Marcus would definitely recommend HTT for any piercings!
A. L.
Really kind and helpful staff. Would recommend going there- however make sure to have an appointment as this place can be busy! Thank you to Bex for the painless+quick piercing and their friendly demeanor.
Will definitely go there again if I choose to have another piercing.
The place is also lovely and so so so clean, puts my mind at ease knowing that I'm not going to some dodgy piercing place but a safe and sterile environment.
5/5 - absolutely brilliant.

The only place I will go to be pierced! Professional manner, but lovely friendly staff, im always made to feel welcome and that I'm taken care of. Very competitive prices for piercing and jewellery, and always top quality products. Absolutely love these guys <3

Visited holier than thou to find something to hide my piercing for a formal workplace. The gent at the desk was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and recommended a silica-glass retainer, which did the trick perfectly. Definitely coming back for my next piercing.

I booked 2 appointments this weekend, 1 for 2x large gauge lobe piercings and another for a tattoo.
Both visits went very well, great staff and great results!

I had my nose pierced here today. The front of the store was lovely, very nicely set out. Received a friendly serviced and felt completely at ease. The actual piercing room itself was extremely clean and hygienic. The price was very reasonable and I even got student discount! The guy who pierced me was genuinely friendly and really nice and chatty and didn't mind when I made him change position of the dot on my nose a few times. Naturally I was a bit nervous about the pain I was about the experience, however it was over and done with in seconds and the piercist talked to me throughout the whole procedure making it a lot more comfortable. Extremely satisfied with the whole experience and if I ever want another piercing, I will be returning. Couldn't recommend them enough, they were honestly great. Only wish I'd had my other piercings done here!
A. R.
Staff are sound, and the whole process is very chilled. Was in and out in 10 minutes and love my new piercing! Would definitely recommend for first timers and seasoned pros alike.

I got high nostril piercings by Nicky and had such a positive experience. The staff that dealt with me were knowledge, friendly and made me feel at ease. I would highly recommend getting pierced at Holier Than Thou as the level of expertise the staff have is impeccable!
F.
I got pierced here 8+ times! This place is flawless and extremely clean. The staff is incredibly professional and honest. They are not after your money. I’m a loyal costumer here and never thought of going elsewhere to get pierced. Their jewellery range is amazing. High quality stuff!
C. M.
Hands down the best piercing place I've been to (and I have 13 piercings!!) The loveliest and most professional staff. They really take care of you. I live in London and I prefer to travel to Manchester for my piercing that have it down here! The pricing is very reasonable and it is super quick (sometimes advised to book- especially Saturdays as it does get busy!) Bec is such a lovely person and a great piercer! Would definitely recommend!
j. b.
Very friendly staff and helpful. I had Justin he explained the piercing procedure and made me feel relaxed. He was very good at advising on aftercare and his advice was greatly appreciated. I am so happy with Justin I'm thinking about having some more work done in the near future. It was a good experience and I feel confident that I will get good advice from someone that I can trust.
P. P.
10/10 experience from beginning to end.
The guy (sadly didn't get his name) who booked me in on the phone was super friendly and nice.
Jenny was a ray of joy who just was the most delightful person to choose jewelry with.
Kitty was my piercer (insta: piercingsby_kitty). Kitty was super sound. Really nice to be around and lovely to have a bit of banter with.
S. M.
The staff were very welcoming and helpful. I will definitely be going back for my next piercing.
C. W.
Such a lovely experience! Staff were really lovely and made sure I was comfortable! Wore badges with their pronouns on too which is incredible! Would highly recommend:)

After lots of research and speaking to different piercers about a genital, triangle piercing ,described as a specialized intense piercing (so you want an experienced piercer to perform this one), most advised me to see Helen at holier than thou, as most wouldn't do it and all advised me Helen was the person to see, and trust in the north of England. I booked an appointment to see Helen, and nearly 2 weeks ago, me and my husband drove 120 mile round trip to see if I could have the piercing, and to be be pierced. We weren't dissapointed, the studio was clean and hygienic, and Helen lived up to her reputation knowing her stuff,her professionalism,and her reputation made me feel I had chosen the right person and she was lovely too, talking us through it all and made me,and hubby feel really at ease.I would definitely see Helen again for more piercings and when I can to have my jewellery changed,thanks so much Helen, and yes we are definitely still friends, Kate (Kat)X

I've had all my piercing done here over many years. My girlfriend had been talking about getting a new piercing so I decided to get us both a new one last week as a little gift for her birthday. She had her septum pierced and I had my horizontal eyebrow done. The staff are always very friendly and professional and the shop it's self is extremely clean and prices are good too. I personally wouldn't go anywhere else and I always recommend them to friends.
S. P.
Can't recommend highly enough. Friendly staff helped put myself and my daughter at ease. Huge choice of jewellery to suit every budget and the place was spotless!
H. T.
Got both nipples done here today after getting tired of my last piercer. Absolutely brilliant, really bright welcoming shop, easy to talk to staff and obviously really clean. The piercing room is fairly small, but private and my boyfriend was able to come in with me which helped a lot. The pricing is reasonable for the service that you get and I will definitely be coming back!
What I also liked was how you could walk in without any previous body-mod experience an still feel 'in-place', there's no daunting, crazy body jewellery, or hardcore paintings/pictures to put anyone off. In fact, I'd even recommend this place to parents whose children want ear piercings (much, much, much safer than Claire's!) because it's so professional.
The only thing that would've made my experience any better is getting a small sample of saline solution to clean with (but I only expect this because of my previous piercing experiences). Besides that, the only other wobbles were that I didn't get asked for ID (although apparently I do look over 18) and we did have the opportunity to just walk off without paying because the member of staff on the till was busy sorting out jewellery and didn't notice us until we asked to pay.
Otherwise, fab!
E. C.
I chose this place because it was highly recommended online and the recommendations were true, this place is amazing, so clean and sanitary from the shop itself to the equipment they use to pierce with. I was very nervous to have my ear done because it was the first time getting my ear done with a needle and I was getting my daith done too. When I was getting my daith done, Marcus calmed me down a lot by telling me the process of what will happen and before you know it, my piercing was done. I give this store a 10/10 because it was the best experience ever. Shout out to Marcus for the amazing piercing and experience.
All staff were very friendly and professional too.

Got my rook pierced today by Bex and she was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable - as were all of the staff. She did the piercing amazingly well. It was swift and quick and I felt very looked after. The staff were very well informed and gave me great advice about another piercing that was giving me trouble. The place was very professional and clean and I am definitely never going anywhere else to get a piercing. Just remember to book in advance even to just get jewellery changed as it is always very busy (understandably). 100% recommend the place and especially Bex.
A. B.
I've been going to HTT for many years now and can honestly say I will never go anywhere else. I moved further away from Manchester but it's 100% worth the travel for me to know that I'm getting the best! Every one of the htt team (new & old) are wonderful, professional & caring humans who offer great service and are always willing to help as much as they can. I feeling welcomed, safe and accepted everytime I set foot into the studio, it's also very clean.
Anyone looking for a friendly atmosphere that is also highly professional with a motto of 'be your own kind of beautiful' 🥰 should definitely visit! 10/10 recommend.

I had a nose piercing and helix piercing at Holier Than Thou and was so happy with the result and how the actual procedure went. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful upon my arrival and I only had to wait for five minutes before being seen. I was told exactly what to expect and how to look after my piercings and felt relaxed during the process thanks to Bex, who was incredibly informative and professional. The shop and piercing room were hygienic and comfortable and I'm thrilled with how everything went overall. I'd definitely recommend this place, particularly if you haven't had piercings before!
L. B.
My favourite piercing and tattoo studio in Manchester. Definitely couldn't fault it, all staff are very lovely and the place is immaculate. Very professional and makes you feel comfortable straight away. Had all my piercings done here and majority of my tattoos. Very reasonable with tattoo quotes and the quality of work is brilliant. My favourite tattoo, and one of my firsts, being the jellyfish on my arm done by Kris. Very reliable for piercings, a beautiful selection of jewellery now available is great too. Always my go to studio, and I will be back soon for more tattoos. Thank you!
K. R.
I've now had 8 piercings and this is by far the best place I've been. Everything is super clean, they are so kind and completely put me at ease about what I was having done. Just phoned with a query and gave brilliant advice over the phone too. In depth about what I'd feel during and fab advice about after-care. I even got a sticker for being brave! Could not recommend them more, I'll be back soon for another piercing!
S. G.
I’ve been to Holier Than Thou for a number of piercings and tattoos. The staff are very welcoming and extremely knowledgable about piercings and after care as well as tattoos and body modifications.
Phoning ahead to make an appointment is recommended on weekends as, due to their amazing reputation, the shop can get busy. Even at busy times the staff have listened to my requests and taken time to make sure my piercing experience has been as relaxed and as pain free as possible.
There is a huge range of jewellery to chose from and to suit all budgets. With jewellery starting from as little as £3 yet still maintaining the quality you expect from such a professional studio.
All the staff are friendly and approachable and are more than willing to help with any questions and queries you have about body mods and have all have a great sense of humour.
I wouldn’t go anywhere else for advise or piercings and have always come out happy and smiling!
R. F.
This place is the finest piercing shop I have been to (of which there have been many). The place is spotless and the staff are so incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, professional and welcoming.
If this is your first piercing or your 30th, this is the place to go!
A special shout out to Marc, he was the most amazing gentleman with the best bed side manner! Will be coming back :)
D. W.
I had my nose pierced today by the lovely bex. I would highly recommend using holier than thou. Bex completely put me at ease with her friendly manner, I was completely informed of each stage of the piercing process and the aftercare. All staff were friendly and welcoming from start to finish. The studio is spotlessly clean and hygenic. I travelled to get here and if was totally worth the drive. Thank you!!
N. T.
I get pierced quite a bit and always get super nervous. These guys are proper lush, dead calming and good craic as well as knowing everything you could want about piercing. Had the last 3 of mine done here and will still travel 170 miles back to Manchester whenever I want a new one.
Keep it up beauties!
M. A.
I can’t recommend this enough. I popped in a couple of weeks before my appointment with some questions which were all answered really clearly. Bex who did my piercings was amazing, she made me feel really comfortable and was such a great calming presence. She is so professional and really kind, chatted to me loads and explained everything she was going to do. If you’re looking for somewhere amazing, definitely go to HTT, you won’t find anywhere better
H. B.
HTT are amazing. I got my septum piercing by Marcus and despite the fact I have a severe needle phobia he made me feel at ease. Everyone is friendly and the place is exceptionally clean. The piercing is healing really well and now I am planning to get some more!
M. A.
Had planned on coming to Holier Than Thou for about 7 months, since I had some lobe piercings done at a place local to me which I kept having problems with. I finally got to go to Manchester today where I was helped by Nicky who immediately knew what was wrong with my piercings and helped me sort out something that would be bettor for them since the place I went before used completely the wrong kind of jewelry. She also helped me choose some beautiful pieces of jewelry for some fresh piercings I got done today by Bex, who did them so quickly and perfectly, and made me feel so at ease. Overall I had such an amazing and professional experience at Holier Than Thou today with people who gave me such confidence in what they were talking about, and who took the time to share their advice and knowledge with me. Will definitely be coming back for more piercings!
S. B.
Staff were very professional when i went in to get my helix pierced. All really friendly and helpful when i asked about some of the hair products in store. I also had a fluid build-up and when i went back in for advice they couldn't have been more helpful and gave me a brochure on how to treat it and explained to me what was wrong.
K. L.
I travel all the way from Shropshire to Manchester and get all my piercings done at Holier (If you want the best you have to be willing to travel right!?) the staff are always so friendly and are quick to put my worries at ease! (I am a massive wimp!)They give great advise and have the best quality jewellery! I recommend them to everyone who asks me where to go! I wouldn't go anywhere else!
C. G.
I am living in South Africa, I had a forward helix piercing done approx 2 months ago. A piercing bump developed. I went back to my original piercer, and 2 others for advise. All the advise was different, the answers not really helping and most of them insisting I take it out, let it heal and re-pierce,which isn't really something I wanted to do.
I turned to google and found this site and they sounded so excited bout piercings, I took a chance and mailed them for assistance, send a pic of my bump.
I was really happy when Alex mailed me back with a clear, logic answer and a method to get it better. It has been exactly a week now, I have been doing exactly what he said and its working brilliantly!! Thank you Alex!!!
If you are anywhere near this place, use them, everyone knows the importance of using a good piercer, but I can tell you, you need someone you can count on for aftercare as well!!!
S. D.
Professional and friendly, with excellent aftercare. I came in to have my tragus pierced, and as well as receiving guidance on choice of jewellery etc. they also were kind enough to advise on an existing piercing (done elsewhere) that was infected, and assured me they were always happy to help on these sorts of issues. Will be going back soon!
J. D.
Had 3 piercings done here, An ashleigh, nose and jestrum each 1 by different staff. They were all equally good. Very good at explaining the procedures and aftercare. The new studio is lovely very clean. The staff are very helpful and but you at ease. Highly recommended .
J. J.
I've had both my nose pierced and my first tattoo at Holier Than Thou and cannot recommend this place enough. The staff are super friendly and helpful. I got my tattoo with Kris and he made me feel at ease and was nice and chatty which took my mind off things. Great place and fantastic staff!
A. T.
The best piercing shop in Manchester, the staff are so professional and welcoming. Nicky pierced me today and swapped out my existing piercings to match the new one and I couldn't be happier. The staff always make sure you leave with a smile on your face even though they have just put a needle through your skin. They make sure your comfortable throughout and make sure you are 100% happy. I can't thank you enough for making my ears look so pretty I will be back soon to continue continue ont ear journey.
L. H.
Went to Holier Than Thou to get my Helix re-pierced. I’d had it done years ago and had let it close up due to not being able to wear the piercing at my job at the time. The staff were fantastic and talked me through the process as it was my first time being pierced with a needle. Totally the best way to be pierced and they were able to re-pierce the existing hole rather than make a new one. It’s healing beautifully and I can’t wait for my next piercing!
H. A.
I was recommended this place by a patient I was looking after. Amazing customer service and very welcoming. All staff kept me reassured and were very helpful with choosing a peice of jewellery for my peircing. They had alot of patience as I couldn't decide on what sort of jewellery to place once having the peircing done. The peircing of my nostril was done in a timely manner and wasn't rushed. After care advice also given to look after the area and to prevent any infections and damage to the skin.
S. S.
I had my nose pierced at studio 95 and they completely messed it up so I took myself to Holier Than Thou and they removed the piercing on the right side and re pierced my nose on the left side. Barely any pain, plenty of information on aftercare and it's healing brilliantly. Thanks Holier Than Thou, you guys are life savers and a very friendly team. You've got a very happy customer, would definitely recommend.
b. h.

A. E.
Got two piercings done here now. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Price's are good. The staff are knowledgable and gave me great advice. Will definitely be going again!
L. H.
I came here for my first piercings, was a very pleasant experience was in and out of the piercing shop very fast, got my septum and nostril pierced. Couldn't of asked for anything better all the staff were super friendly and happy to answer any questions all very knowledgeable about there jobs. Stunning pieces of jewellery are available from here too I would definitely recommend this to anybody looking to get some piercings as they accommodate for everybody's taste. I would also leave a review on Facebook but I do not have an account there, but I'm giving Holier than thou 5 stars.
P. H.
Holier Than Thou are such a lovely group of people who made me feel so welcome, esp as I am a lot older than the general clientele. I had a very sedate 2nd piercing alongside my 40 year old original ear piercing & it looks gorgeous & exactly what I was hoping for; just a delicate 2nd piercing so I could wear more choice of earrings & everyone took such care & time to listen to my request. It was customer service at its best. There are a huge choice of earrings & I needed 18ct gold but it was no problem at all. It really is less painful than epilating or plucking & the aftercare is perfect. Thank you so much to everyone there - I love the piercing, the earrings are beautiful & I had a ball. ❤️❤️❤️
