Hey hey people!

Does anyone happen to live in the Cheltenham/Gloucestershire (UK)area, that can recommend a top notch piercer, please?

Thanks...

I'm not from the UK but here's a directory from a forum I get on that might help you: http://www.bodyjewelleryshop.com/piercing_directory/

Here's some info from the Association of Professional Piercers about what to look for in a piercer. It's based in the US but this still applies: http://www.safepiercing.org/piercing/ch ... a-piercer/

Good luck! Choosing a good piercer is super important. The piercer I go to now (who is now the only person I'll let pierce me) is amazing but I've also been to some really crappy shops and I can tell you that the difference is unbelievable.
I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!

Try No Regrets at the top of the high street.
Depends what you're after though. Some (rarer) things are always gonna be worth travelling for.

Thanks for this - really useful.

Thanks for this.

I am after a piercer to do my septum. I had my lobes done in there and they used acrylic in a fresh piercing which I hear is a massive no-no. I've had massive problems including more than one infection whilst the new piercings healed. Not saying it was them at all, but once bitten and all that...

Ah, a gentleman never kisses and tells... I ain't no gentleman, but I'm not really comfortable naming and shaming...

Sorry dude.
