If you’re looking for the best place for piercings in Manchester, The Viper Pit in Irlam has you covered. We’ve been piercing clients from Salford, Trafford, Warrington, and beyond for over a decade, and 2025 is already proving to be a huge year for new piercing trends. From stacked ears to the return of belly piercings, here’s what’s been popular so far.
The Biggest Piercing Trends of 2025 (So Far)
Stacked & Curated Lobes
Forget stopping at one earring – this year is all about lobe stacks. Multiple piercings climbing the ear, mixing studs and hoops to create a curated look. We’ve had loads of clients across Manchester and Warrington asking for these, and every stack we do is custom to your ear shape and style.
Belly Piercings Are Back
You heard right – navel piercings are trending again in 2025. Early 2000s fashion is making a comeback, and the belly bar is front and centre. Unlike the dodgy piercing guns of the past, we use sterile needles and implant-grade titanium jewellery, so you can show off your midriff without worrying about it rejecting.
Constellation Ear Piercings
The curated ear trend has gone next-level. Constellation piercings use multiple placements to mimic star patterns – tiny studs and hoops creating a galaxy effect across your ear. Clients from Salford and Trafford are loving this trend already, and it’s only growing as the year goes on.
What’s Out in 2025
Piercing guns – still unsafe, still outdated, still a no from us. Cheap jewellery – if it’s not implant-grade titanium or steel, don’t bother. DIY piercings – your mate with a sewing needle is not a piercer.
