Do you offer walk-in piercings?

Yes — we offer walk-in piercings most days. All piercings are needle-only, fully hygienic, and done by Chris, one of Manchester’s most trusted piercers. You can also book online 24/7 for guaranteed slots.

Are your piercings needle-only?

Absolutely. We use 100% single-use, fully sterile piercing needles — never piercing guns. Needle-only is safer, cleaner and heals better, especially for ear, nose, facial and body piercings.

Do you accept tattoo walk-ins?

Tattoo walk-ins are occasionally available, but most appointments are pre-booked. You can book tattoos online 24/7 through our Setmore booking system, or message us for availability.

How do I book a tattoo or piercing?

You can book tattoos and piercings anytime using our 24/7 online booking system. It’s fast, easy and perfect for clients travelling from Irlam, Salford, Trafford Centre and Manchester.

Are you licensed and health inspected?

Yes — The Viper Pit Tattoo & Piercing Studio is fully licensed, council approved and regularly health inspected. We use top-grade equipment and strict hygiene protocols for every client.

Do you offer custom tattoo designs?

Yes — every tattoo is custom designed. Chris specialises in black and grey realism, fine-line tattoos, pet portraits and mandala work. No generic flash unless you ask for it — everything is tailored to you.

Do you cover scars or old tattoos?

Yes — we offer both cover-up tattoos and scar cover designs. Every case is different, so we usually recommend a consultation to see what’s possible.

Is the studio accessible for disabled clients?

Yes — our tattoo and piercing studio in Irlam has clear pathways, an inclusive setup, and we’re happy to support clients who need extra time, adjustments or assistance.

Do you offer aftercare support?

Yes — we provide full aftercare advice for both tattoos and piercings. You’ll get clear instructions, healing advice, and guidance on what products to use for safe, smooth healing.
