Legend! 💙Posted on Alexandria MorganTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A big thanks to The Viper Pit in Irlam for their insane customer service today. I had originally booked in with a tattoo shop in Urmston for my daughter’s first ear piercing and she was so excited - she’s harped on about it for weeks. Unfortunately, our appt was cancelled very late last night and this morning I found myself scrambling for another appointment or facing disappointing a girl who has waited weeks for her big day. I found the website for The Viper Pit online and immediately booked the 9:30am appointment. Within minutes, the owner, Chris, called me to explain that the online system shouldn’t have taken my booking as the shop was actually closed today as the staff were getting prepped for Christmas and asked if we could rearrange for tomorrow. This was totally fine with me however after I mentioned that my daughter’s original appointment elsewhere had been cancelled, he insisted that he opened the shop especially for us. Such an incredibly kind and generous offer!!! We met Chris within the hour, and I then learned he’d driven at least 25 mins from his home to meet us. He doesn’t actually live nearby. That’s an hour he’d taken out of his Sunday to make my daughter’s day, and her Christmas! 🥹 The piercing was super affordable, only £30, and was done so quickly. It was beautifully executed and zero tears from my 9yr old. Thank you so much to Chris for a fabulous experience and for being so remarkably generous at a time that is really busy for us all. If anyone is considering children’s ear piercing, I’d totally recommend this place! Massive Christmas spirit, unbeatable service and an owner with a really big heart 🥰🤩Posted on Charlotte GreenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Got my tongue pierced and a little line work tattoo done by Chris. He was lovely through the who experience, dead chatty and both have healed really wellPosted on hannah mansfieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolute fantastic guy. Helped me within 10 minutes with an infected helix piercing. We had a good laugh which helped the pain!! Thank you so much, I will be back for a ‘proper’ piercing soon! ❤️Posted on Mass Beauty WorxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Walked in for my lobes piecing again & was in and out within 20 minutes. Would highly recommend! Thanks again 🙂Posted on Nicola TitherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First time visiting the viper pit and will definitely be coming back my daughter had a labret piercing done chris was so funny instantly felt at ease had us both in stitchesPosted 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.
