EXCELLENT Based on 319 reviews Posted on Emily BrocklehurstTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris was fantastic at piercing my daughter's ears. We had to make a return journey 2 months later as they'd healed up after one night of no earrings in and he was fantastic at getting them sorted again. I'd totally recommend the viper studio after our great experience.Posted on Beth StubbsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend the viper pit. I had an appointment on the Friday morning which I was going to struggle to make so I dropped them a message on Facebook the day before and got a reply straight away saying I could go in anytime before 5 and they would fit me in for a conch piercing. I’m usually so anxious going in to new places but Chris was so welcoming and immediately made me feel at ease. I also had jewellery in that I wanted changing and Chris had no problem doing this for me and at a very reasonable price! My new go to for piercings.Posted on Piggy AdventureTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This cheeky man was absolutely great 👍 Professional and so funny !!
