Piercing professionally since 2011. Jade shares where she began and why she got Jade Alexandra piercing where it is today. ABOUT THE OWNER A real human owns this business 💕 My Humble Journey: The Story Behind Jade Alexandra Piercing Hi, I’m Jade - the piercer and proud owner of Jade Alexandra Piercing. This is the story of my journey, one built on perseverance, passion, and a deep love for my craft. How It All Began My career in the industry started back in 2010, when I was given an opportunity that, to this day, I remain incredibly grateful for. I began an apprenticeship with Lee from LLCooltatts, initially training as a tattoo artist. I had always been artistic and creative, and tattooing seemed like a natural path for me. But as life unfolded, I didn’t end up becoming a tattooist - yet this was still my first step into the world I now love so much. At the time, I was young, without family support, and struggling financially while trying to make it on my own. Apprenticeships back then were unpaid, and as much as I was passionate about learning, I needed a way to support myself. That’s when I turned my focus towards body piercing - a skill that could not only sustain me but allow me to express my artistry in a different way. I was fortunate to receive support from Bert Moutter, a local support worker from the charity DISC. With his help, I applied for a grant from BUTTLE UK, allowing me to enrol in a body piercing course. I share this part of my journey because I will never forget where I started and the people who helped me along the way. Charities like these, and the individuals behind them, truly change lives. A Hard Lesson in What Not to Do In 2011, I completed a four-day “above-the-waist” piercing course. I use quotation marks because, in hindsight, it was far from what I now know proper piercing education should be. The first piercing I ever did was a tongue piercing, and I was terrified. No real training, no proper guidance - just a mark and the instruction to “go for it.” That was it. I was naïve, and my knowledge was brand new. Equipped with a so-called “piercing kit,” I had been led to believe that I was ready to begin my career. In reality, I had been misled. What I learned in that course was outdated, incomplete, and completely insufficient. I had to teach myself everything - properly - from scratch. Looking back, I now understand that piercing courses like these are a money-making scheme, giving out certificates that are meaningless and sending undertrained piercers out into the world without the knowledge needed to practise safely. It is irresponsible, unethical, and dangerous - for both the piercer and the client. This is why I now advocate strongly for proper training through a real apprenticeship with a reputable mentor. Piercing is not just about “poking a hole and putting in jewellery.” It is a serious practice that involves skin penetration, sterilisation, cross-contamination prevention, and an in-depth understanding of wound care. The fact that the industry remains unregulated means that many people are operating without the proper knowledge, which is why I always encourage clients to do their research before choosing a piercer. Growing, Learning, and Evolving From 2014 to 2017, I worked in a busy city centre studio, and it was during this time that I truly began to understand what was lacking in the industry - and what needed to change. I became increasingly aware of: The importance of jewellery materials (not all jewellery is safe!) The quality of surface polish and how it affects healing Proper wound care, healing stages, and potential complications The critical role of aseptic techniques in piercing procedures This was also when I attended my first United Kingdom Association of Professional Piercers (UKAPP) Educational Seminars. It was a game-changer for me. I saw what was possible, and I knew I had to do better. However, I also realised that working under someone else meant I was limited in how much I could evolve. Not everyone shares the same values when it comes to growth, education, and integrity. For some, “if it works, why change it?” But that’s not how I see things. If I have the knowledge to do better, why wouldn’t I? If I can provide safer, higher-quality services, why wouldn’t I make those changes? If I truly care about my clients’ health and safety, why would I settle for anything less than the best? It became clear that to continue growing, I had to take a leap of faith. Taking the Leap - Jade Alexandra Piercing Is Born I asked myself a very simple but important question: “Do you believe in yourself?” The answer was yes. So, I left my job, determined to build a business that put integrity before profit, ethics before convenience, and client safety above all else. I won’t lie - it was terrifying. At the time I was in my early 20's and I had just lost both of my parents, I had no savings, and I had no financial safety net. But I had self-belief, and that was enough. I remember the moment my first order of high-quality jewellery arrived. It was flawless, hand-polished to a mirror finish - a stark contrast to the subpar materials I had been restricted to in the past. This was the standard I wanted to uphold, and there was no turning back. I spent years learning, saving, and investing in both myself and my business. It wasn’t always easy, but I was evolving - not just as a piercer, but as a person. Integrity is the most valuable investment we can make. Finding My Home at Buzzin Guns In 2019, after searching for the perfect space, I met Sue and Chris, the owners of Buzzin Guns. They weren’t just studio owners—they were people who shared my values and commitment to growth. I am so grateful to be a part of such an incredible studio, where I can run my business with absolute dedication to quality, safety, and client care. Beyond Piercing Outside of work, I am a lifelong learner. I love reading, gardening, and spending time in nature. There’s nothing quite like a peaceful morning with a cup of tea, listening to the birds before starting the day. I also occasionally breed and show long-haired Miniature Dachshunds, who bring endless joy to my life. And, of course, I’m incredibly blessed to have a wonderful partner who supports me every step of the way. With Gratitude I am endlessly grateful - for the lessons, the struggles, the victories, and most of all, for every single client who has put their trust in me. This business isn’t just something I’ve built - it’s something that has shaped me into the person I am today. So, thank you. Thank you for being a part of my journey and for allowing me to be a part of yours, even if just for a moment. With love and eternal gratitude, Jade x (She/Her/They/Them) About the owner: About

Your one stop for understanding how your professional piercing jewellery works. How professional body jewellery works. If you’re unfamiliar with the types of body jewelry used in piercings today, it can be a bit confusing. You may be wondering how to remove it, take it apart, or put it back in if it becomes loose or falls out. Modern professional piercing jewellery is quite different from the older “scroll” or “butterfly” backed designs, which can be commonly used. While those styles can still be fine for healed earlobe piercings, they pose significant challenges in fresh piercings or in areas beyond the lobes. The main issue with older styles like the butterfly backing is that they are difficult to keep clean, often collecting dirt and debris in their crevices, which increases the risk of infection. Additionally, the poor surface polish of these designs makes healing more difficult and can lead to prolonged irritation. They also typically come in only one size, which can result in the jewellery being too short, causing it to embed into the tissue and sometimes requiring surgical removal. Given the vast differences in human anatomy, it’s simply not practical to use this outdated style of jewellery for modern piercings. Thankfully, piercing practices have evolved, and today’s jewellery is designed with both size and style flexibility, ensuring it’s easier to clean, more comfortable to wear, and better for healing. Modern body jewellery also features innovative mechanisms for secure attachment, offering a wide range of options that suit various placements and accommodate individual anatomical differences, all while supporting successful healing and long-term wear. Style of jewellery. If you were pierced with us, your piercer should have given you an aftercare leaflet with your jewellery details on it, including the type, length, gauge and mechanism. If you still have this it will be good to take a look for your reference. Body jewellery for piercing is made up of components, which typically include a shaft or post and attachment. The shaft is the part that passes through the piercing, whilst the attachment is typically the decorative part of the jewellery. Attachments are inserted into the shaft or post with either a threading (screwed into) mechanism or held in by tension with a thread-less/push pin ( pushed into) mechanism. Shafts come in numerous styles, such as: Labret - a straight post with a fixed disk and single hole for attachment Barbell - a straight post with holes for attachments on both ends Curved barbell -a curved post with holes for attachments on both ends Circular barbell - an almost fully circular post similar to a ''horseshoe'' with holes for attachments on both ends If your style of jewellery is a ring, it may be hinged, captive/segment or seamless in style. To tighten threaded jewellery, turn the attachment clockwise to screw into the threaded post until it will not turn further any further and has locked into place securely. To remove the attachment, simply unthread it by unscrewing anti-clockwise until the attachment is released from the post. To adjust the tension or remove thread-less jewellery, please watch the video demonstration. See diagrams for reference

Frequently asked Questions, hopefully you can find the answer to your questions here. Frequently asked questions. Thanks for taking the time to browse this page, hopefully we can answer any questions you may have here to make things a little more convenient and more time efficient. Do I need an appointment? Yes, you will certainly need an appointment, whether it's for a piercing, aftercare check up or to purchase and look at jewellery. Appointments can be booked easily and conveniently through the booking system on our website, or direct through the "book now" button on our Facebook page. Can I have my piercing or more frequently asked my nose pierced with a ring? We do not pierce noses and most piercings with rings for a number of reasons, but particularly due to the shape causing healing complications and general lack of stability for wound healing. Small rings can be very restrictive to healing tissue and any uneven pressure or distortions of tissue effecting the wound usually result in piercing bumps and hypertrophic scarring among other things. What methods of payment do you accept? We accept cash, debit or credit card and contactless payments including apple or google pay. We also accept Clearpay, if eligible. Do you use a needle or Gun? We use single use hypodermic needles only, we do not advocate the use of guns for piercing. Needles are designed to puncture the skin with little trauma, whereas a gun uses blunt force trauma to penetrate the tissue, forcing inappropriate styles and limited size of jewellery into the tissue at high speed. Not only that, guns cannot be sterilised in a medical grade autoclave after use and simply wiping the instrument down does not protect against the potential spreading of bloodborne pathogens. Do you offer refunds or returns? For hygiene reasons, no. All sales are final. Body jewellery cannot be exchanged once it has been fitted into your piercing or if you have not had it fitted at your appointment, it cannot be returned or exchanged once it has left the studio. Piercing procedures are not a refundable service, you can of course always change your mind after having a piercing and we are happy to assist you to safely remove the jewellery, however we cannot be expected to give refunds for a service properly provided. Do you pierce babies/infants? We do not pierce anyone under the age of 7. Not only is it morally and ethically wrong to pierce an infants ears against their will, infants and small children are still very much growing and developing anatomically. It is much better to wait until they have had the chance to be more anatomically developed, cosmetic piercing can be more well placed etc. We will not pierce anyone who is unable to give us their consent and we respect every individuals bodily autonomy regardless of age. Can I bring my own jewellery? We do not pierce with or fit jewellery into existing piercings that have been sourced outside studio. We must ensure we work with verifiable materials and we cannot ensure jewellery purchased outside studio is safe or suitable for human implant. We cannot reuse Jewellery previously purchased in studio into fresh piercings, as we cannot sterilize previously worn or soiled jewellery and risk contamination to our sterilization equipment. When can I change my jewellery? We do not recommend you change or remove your jewellery yourself until healed. However your piercer may be able to change attachments. Do I need an anatomy consultation? Some piercings are not anatomically suited to everyone, particularly "industrial" and "navel" piercings, so it would be advisable to those considering these particular placements to book an anatomy consultation, prior to booking a slot for the actual piercing, as this will prevent time being wasted if you are turned down for the placement. Anatomy consultations are also advisable to anyone who has had surgery, has scarring, past trauma etc in the area they wish to be pierced or those with uniquely shaped anatomy for advise. Do not book a piercing appointment for the same day as an anatomy consult, please book your piercing after you have had your consult, as it would be counter-productive to book both at the time. I have had a piercing done at another establishment & I have concerns, can I come in for a check up? If your piercing was not done by us, you would need to book a troubleshooting appointment and pay a small fee for our time and expertise, we would certainly be happy to take a look and advise, aftercare check up appointments are a routine service we offer to our piercees to utilise as part of their piercing package free of charge. It would be unfair to deal with issues from piercings we did not originally preform. Do you offer numbing? No we don’t offer numbing and we don’t recommend you attempt any personal numbing at home before your appointment either. Numbing products are medical products and do pose risks in terms of allergens, skin irritations and vasoconstriction. Vasoconstriction is the narrowing (constriction) of blood vessels by small muscles in their walls. When blood vessels constrict, blood flow is slowed or blocked“ which is harmful to a new piercing because healthy blood flow for delivery of white blood cells are needed to start the healing process. How many piercings can I have done in one sitting? We do not recommend you have any more than three at any one time, with the exception of four ear lobe piercings. We will not do more than 3 cartilage, body, or facial piercings or any combination of them in a quantity of more than 3. We recommend waiting at least 12 weeks in between appointments to allow for the initial swelling and tenderness to pass before having more work done to make after care manageable and mitigate infection risk. You cannot waive your rights and ask to be pierced more times than this, as we always maintain the right to set safe boundaries on the procedures we perform. What prices can I expect? The service charge for a single piercing is between £15 - £30. This covers the cost of completely Sterile and Single use procedure set up, appointment time, sterilization, topical skin prep & in store consultation. As we only stock premium jewellery, jewellery purchases are not included in the service charge and can be anywhere from £20 - to over £300, depending on pieces and customization of the components chosen on the day.

Downsizes are charged at £15. Jewellery changes are charged at £6 Aftercare products range from £8-£12 Is your studio Wheelchair accessible? The Studio is street level and whilst we are situated on the ground floor for piercing services, unfortunately there is two steps prior to the front door to access the building. The street outside is cobbled and wheelchair users or those with limited mobility may find it difficult to attempt access. Apologies. Where can I park? There is on street parking outside the studio which is subject to pay and display. There are also near by multi storey car parks: Riverside and Prince Bishops. Alternatively, we are right next to the City centre bus station on North Road, if public travel is easier. Do you sell gift certificates?

We also sell physical eco friendly plastic gift cards in studio with the optional addition of premium giftbox with magnetic clasp and gift bag for those of you that would like to add a touch of luxury to presentation when gifting their loved ones or to make it easier to wrap for those special occasions. My piercing has closed up can I have it re-pierced? Yes, in most cases piercings can be re-pierced. As long as healed and healthy tissue is available piercings should be ok to be pierced again. We do not take responsibility for piercings closing over, if your piercing has closed over, you are responsible for paying for it to be pierced again. Re-pierces will not be discounted. It is the piercee's responsibility to ensure jewellery and attachments are secure and that jewellery remain in the piercing to ensure it does not close over, even healed piercings should continue to have jewellery installed.

Swelling after a fresh piercing and the importance of downsizing. DOWNSIZING - WHY IT'S IMPORTANT Downsizing refers to switching jewellery in a piercing to a shorter post, once initial swelling has subsided. Because of the way piercings heal, most require initial jewellery with a noticeable amount of extra room to allow the tissue to swell in the early phases of healing. This is crucial to avoid jewellery embedding in the skin. However, once the initial stages have passed, this initial swelling will have gone away. This will reveal the initial extra room and results in the initial jewellery now being too long. Jewellery that is too long can snag easily and move around excessively, leading to irritation and renewed swelling. In oral piercings, excessively long jewellery can lead to damage to teeth, gums, and other oral structures (read more in Oral Piercing Risks ). At this stage, it’s important to return to your piercer to have shorter jewellery installed to reduce these issues. The piercing is not healed enough to safely change your jewellery by yourself at this point in healing. If this window for downsizing is missed for piercings such as the helix, the excessive length may lead to migration or a change of angle of piercing, especially if the piercing gets slept on. This damage is irreversible and can get bad enough to result in the piercing failing. CREDIT - SAFEPIERCING.ORG

JEWELLERY POLICIES, TERMS AND CONDITIONS JEWELLERY PURCHASE - Jewellery is to be purchased separately on the day of appointment and is not included in the service charge. Our most affordable jewellery starts at £25.00 JEWELLERY PURCHASE BREAKDOWN - Due to the nature of professional body jewellery, pieces are designed with interchangeable components to ensure compatibility with different styles and placements. As a result, jewellery is priced per individual component. For example: 1 x Titanium Labret (Post with fixed flat back disk) = £10.00 1 x 3mm Titanium Ball Attachment = £10.00 Total = £20.00 This allows clients to mix and match jewellery for a fully customized fit and style. JEWELLERY STANDARDS AND SAFETY POLICY - At Jade Alexandra Piercing, all jewellery used is made from verifiable, high-quality materials that are suitable for human implants. To ensure we meet the highest health and safety standards, we will never fit or pierce with any jewellery that has been previously worn or sourced outside of the studio. This policy is in place to prioritize your safety and ensure a clean, hygienic procedure. JEWELLERY FITTING AND PLACEMENT POLICY - At Jade Alexandra Piercing, jewellery fitting and piercing placement are 100% anatomy dependent. We reserve the right to refuse to fit jewellery or perform a piercing if the piercer determines that it is inappropriate, not suited to your individual anatomy, or unlikely to heal well. If this situation arises, the piercer will advise you on the best course of action and often offer alternative options to ensure a safe and successful piercing experience. RINGS IN FRESH PIERCINGS POLICY - We are frequently asked if we can pierce with a ring, especially small and thin ones. Unfortunately, in most, if not all cases, it is not possible to fit rings for an initial or healing piercing. For a piercing to heal correctly, it requires suitable jewellery in the correct size and shape to provide stability and support during the healing process. Petite rings can usually be fitted once the piercing is successfully healed. Certain piercings, such as a “Daith”, may be able to be done with a ring initially, but the ring must be large in gauge and diameter to ensure it is anatomically suitable for proper healing. We always prioritize your health and healing, so we recommend appropriate jewellery based on your individual anatomy. JEWELLERY & PIERCING RESPONSIBILTY POLICY We do not accept responsibility for the loss of jewellery or attachments, jewellery becoming loose or falling out, or piercings healing over. Once a client leaves the studio, it is their responsibility to ensure that jewellery attachments are securely fastened daily. Clients must also refrain from removing their jewellery while the piercing is still healing, as part of their commitment to following proper aftercare advice and protocols. Jewellery losses or any accidental/deliberate damage are not covered by manufacturers' guarantees. JEWELLERY RETURNS/EXCHANGE POLICY - For health and safety, all Jewellery purchased in studio or online through our online store is strictly non-refundable and non-exchangeable. JEWELLERY SALES AND QUALITY GUARANTEE POLICY - All jewellery purchased from Jade Alexandra Piercing is final sale, meaning that items are non-refundable and non-returnable.

We are a private studio and operate on an appointment only basis, with a strict one in one out policy. As Jade is the only piercer and will likely be with a client, she can't realistically be in two places at once which means that we are unfortunately unable to accommodate a walk in service for any of our piercing services including jewellery browsing or to give prices and/or assist with jewellery purchases. You will need to book an appointment to have Jade's full attention and expert advice. You can book yourself in easily and conveniently by clicking the book now button below. Book Now AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT All clients are offered an aftercare check up appointment 2-4 weeks post piercing. Aftercare appointments are not limited, you can come in for check ups as frequently as you like. Aftercare. All clients will be given a leaflet with their specific jewellery information and aftercare instructions, alternatively aftercare instructions can be found here . Downsizing. You may need to come back for a shorter post. Piercings may swell initially, therefor it is appropriate to fit jewellery that is a little longer, once swelling has subsided, to ensure the piercing is getting the correct stability to heal, jewellery should be downsized to prevent jewellery that is too long to cause any healing complications/ future problems. Read more about downsizing here . Check your attachments are secure. Often, we use threaded jewellery for piercing. It is not unheard of for jewellery to become unthreaded over time. It is good practise to check your jewellery is threaded securely at the end of each cleaning routine twice a day. We do not accept responsibility for lost jewellery. After you have left the studio, it is your responsibility to ensure aftercare is properly followed and your jewellery is secure. If you have any concerns or encounter an issue, experience symptoms of problematic healing, make an aftercare check-up appointment promptly. The earlier it is seen, the better chance your piercing has of overcoming any issues. We are here to help you heal your piercing every step of the way.
