Why Choose Jade Alexandra Piercing?
Ethical piercing & Exceptional Jewellery
Choosing where to be pierced is a big decision. It’s about more than just the piercing - it’s about trust, safety, and knowing you’re in the hands of someone who genuinely cares about both your experience and your long-term wellbeing.
​
At Jade Alexandra Piercing, that commitment runs through everything we do. Jade is fully DBS checked, highly trained, and works in a clean, private studio environment where the highest clinical standards are upheld at every appointment. From the moment you walk through the door, you can feel confident that your safety and comfort come first.
​
Your jewellery is just as important as your piercing. That’s why we work exclusively with world-leading manufacturers, using only implant-grade, ethically made jewellery that’s as safe as it is beautiful. Every piece is carefully chosen to ensure it honours your body while reflecting your individual style.
​
Excellence in piercing means never standing still. Jade invests in her craft continually, attending the United Kingdom Association of Professional Piercers annual seminars, where she studies the latest developments in anatomy, skin preparation, asepsis, and jewellery standards. Alongside this, she renews her First Aid and CPR training routinely and completes annual Bloodborne Pathogen certification because true professionalism means being prepared for everything.
​
When you choose Jade Alexandra Piercing, you’re not just booking a piercing. You’re choosing a safe pair of hands, a meticulous eye for detail, and a service built on passion, skill, and integrity. Every step from consultation to aftercare is designed to give you complete peace of mind and an experience that feels every bit as special as the jewellery you leave with.
Because your body deserves more than just a piercing, it deserves the very best.

Sterilisation & Processing
Body Jewellery and piercing equipment are sterilised in Medical grade Autoclaves, which are tested daily onsite.
Everything is sterilised after first being cleaned thoroughly in designated ultrasonic cleaning machines. Sterilised Jewellery and equipment are stored in sealed pouches or are transported into the procedure room via portable tray directly from our autoclaves.
Piercing consumables and procedure technique
We use some of the highest quality hypodermic needles available to the industry, made specifically for piercing which is single-use and discarded of immediately after piercing. We use a disposable set-up, with no expense spared - meaning all other procedure consumables, such as gauze, skin marking implements, dressings, cotton swabs and topical skin prep packs such as chlorhexidine, iodine and saline swabs are all completely sterile and single-use.
​
Piercings are performed using an aseptic technique, meaning we do not touch anything that is outside of the sterile field and have implemented things such as a no-touch bin, hydraulic foot-operated bed, hands-free wash basins and sterilisers uniquely equipped with portable tray so asepsis can be maintained throughout.
​
The studio is equipped with UV sterilisers on every floor.
Our piercing procedure room has the added benefit of HEPA air filtration, as does our dedicated sterilization and processing room.
​
Ensuring our facilities provide the safest and cleanest possible environment to be pierced in.
