The Viper Pit is an independent tattoo and piercing studio based on Liverpool Road in Irlam. We welcome clients from Urmston, Eccles, Salford, Trafford, Warrington and across Greater Manchester. Our approach is simple: good work, proper care and no intimidating studio nonsense. Custom Tattoos Planned Properly A good tattoo should be designed around the person wearing it—not pulled from the same sheet used for everybody else. At The Viper Pit, we work across a range of styles, including: We’ll discuss the idea, placement, size and level of detail before the appointment. If something won’t work properly as a tattoo, we’ll tell you honestly and suggest a better option. Whether it’s your first tattoo or the next part of a larger collection, you’ll receive straightforward advice without pressure. Professional Needle-Only Piercing Every piercing at The Viper Pit is performed using sterile, single-use needles. We do not use piercing guns. Using the correct equipment allows the piercer to work accurately while reducing unnecessary tissue trauma. It also means the jewellery, placement and aftercare can be properly matched to the individual piercing. We offer professional piercing appointments with clear advice before the procedure and ongoing support afterwards. You’ll never be rushed out of the door with a leaflet and a hopeful shrug. Children’s and Infant Ear Piercing Our specialist Little Viper service provides calm, needle-only ear piercing for babies and children from four months old. Appointments are never forced and never rushed. Both ears are digitally measured to 0.1 mm, and the proposed placement is shown to the parent or guardian before piercing. The £65 complete package includes: Little Viper appointments take place inside The Viper Pit’s professional studio environment and are booked through our existing online booking system. Easy to Reach from Trafford and Urmston The Viper Pit is located at 84 Liverpool Road, Irlam, Salford, M44 6FN. We’re conveniently placed for clients travelling from: Choosing a studio should never come down solely to which one happens to be inside the nearest shopping centre. Experience, hygiene, honest advice and proper aftercare matter far more than saving a few minutes in the car. A Friendly Independent Studio Tattoo and piercing studios can still feel intimidating, particularly when someone is booking their first appointment or bringing in a young child. That isn’t how we operate. The Viper Pit has grown by making people feel welcome, explaining everything clearly and treating every appointment with proper care. You can ask questions without feeling daft, discuss concerns openly and take your time making the right decision. We’ve been serving local clients since 2015, and much of our work now comes from recommendations and returning customers.

I’d been wanting a daith piercing for ages and had done some research on the best reviewed piercers in the area and the “Viper Pit” topped the list. Not actually knowing where the shop was located, I drove past today and decided to call in to see if they did “walk in’s”. Chris greeted me and luckily, was able to fit me in. Chris has a “gift” of making you feel immediately at ease. cracking jokes and asking questions. Before I knew it, my piercing was done! Chris was professional and obviously very experienced.The whole procedure was efficient and (almost) painless. I woke up this morning with no intention of getting a piercing, but I’m so glad i did.

Highly recommend Posted on Victoria Fitton 2025-07-10 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’d been wanting a daith piercing for ages and had done some research on the best reviewed piercers in the area and the “Viper Pit” topped the list. Not actually knowing where the shop was located, I drove past today and decided to call in to see if they did “walk in’s”. Chris greeted me and luckily, was able to fit me in. Chris has a “gift” of making you feel immediately at ease. cracking jokes and asking questions. Before I knew it, my piercing was done! Chris was professional and obviously very experienced.The whole procedure was efficient and (almost) painless. I woke up this morning with no intention of getting a piercing, but I’m so glad i did. Already looking to return for a new tattoo. Thanks again for fitting me in Chris. The “mature” lady with the funny ears 🤣😂 Posted on Natasza Kowalska 2025-05-11 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Clean placement, crisp lines, smooth healing. Is he really one of the North West’s best piercers or is that PR?✚ It’s a thing. Implant-grade titanium only, sterile single-use setup, calm and clinical. Ears curated, not guessed. What’s Chris like in the chair—comedian or quiet assassin?✚ Chill, straight-talking, and will lightly take the mick to keep you smiling—never mean, always respectful. You’ll feel looked after. What does he do when he’s not making people look cooler?✚ Watches Manchester United, binges boring documentaries (his words), and plans the next clean placement. Can he do teeny tiny fineline without it turning into a blob?✚ Yep. He’ll guide size and placement so your fineline heals sharp and still looks mint months later. I want a Pinterest-worthy ear—can Chris plan the whole thing?✚ Absolutely. Anatomy-led mapping for lobes, helix, conch and daith so the final stack flows and heals well. What’s the damage—deposits, reschedules, the awkward money bit?✚ A non-refundable deposit secures your slot (comes off the final price). You can reschedule once with 48h notice; late changes/no-shows lose the deposit. Book Chris

- [PIERCING AFTERCARE](https://www.theviperpit.co.uk/piercing-aftercare/): Piercing Aftercare – Keep It clean keep it cute So, you’ve got yourself a shiny new piercing – nice choice!  Now let’s keep it looking fresh, healthy, and not like something out of a horror film Piercing Aftercare Thanks for completing your medical form!Here’s everything you need to know to look after your new piercing. At The Viper Pit Tattoo &amp; Piercing Studio, we only recommend using our official aftercare products, available to buy in-studio and on our website. These professional, sterile products are the only ones we trust for safe and effective healing. Using any other products — such as homemade salt water, antiseptic sprays, or creams — is not recommended and can cause irritation, swelling, or infection. Follow the aftercare instructions provided with your Tattoo Goo Piercing Aftercare Kit, and always make sure your hands are clean before touching your piercing. If you experience any unusual swelling or irritation, apply a cold compress and take ibuprofen to reduce inflammation — then get in touch with us if you’re unsure about anything. Your piercing is in good hands — now keep it that way! General Piercing Care Tips Hands Off – Don’t touch your piercing unless you’re cleaning it, and even then, wash your hands first. No Twisting or Turning – This isn’t the lid of a jar – leave it alone so it can heal. Shower, Don’t Soak – Avoid swimming pools, hot tubs, and long baths for the first month. Skip the Harsh Stuff – No alcohol, peroxide, or Savlon. They dry and damage healing skin. Watch for Snags – Be careful with clothing, hair, and bedsheets. Healing Times (average) Lobes – 6–8 weeks Cartilage – 6–12 months Nostril – 3–6 months Septum – 6–8 weeks Lip/Oral – 6–8 weeks Eyebrow – 6–8 weeks Navel – 6–12 months Nipples – 6–12 months Remember: every body heals differently.
