The Piercing Shop was opened in Brisbane in June 1994 as the culmination of several years of personal training by the proprietor, Lynette Rose.

Lynette is fully self taught and made extra money piercing ears in America in the 1960′s.

Moving back to Australia, (Lynette was born in Brisbane), she became re-involved with piercing in the mid 1980′s and progressively expanded her knowledge.

Having had this interest in piercing for many years and now possessing a small yet successful clinic at her home Lynette decided to make the leap from part time to full time and take piercing into the centre of the city at the end of 1993.

Many people claim to have trained under Lynette Rose. However, the truth is that very few of these people have even worked at The Piercing Shop.

The shop currently has two piercers and several part time ancillary staff and is open seven days a week.

We aim to maintain the highest standards. At The Piercing Shop sterile technique and hygiene are of paramount importance. All our needles are single use, and all other equipment is autoclave sterilized. We open all packages in front of our clients, including the needle.

Standards

The Piercing Shop has earned itself and excellent reputation over the years for upholding the strictest hygiene standards. We are constantly upgrading our facilities and procedures to ensure the highest standards are achieved.

Some recent improvements include:

We have been spending more time and money than ever into the further education of our staff members and the improvement of our sterilisation area.
We have recently had automatic sensor taps installed in all four of our piercing rooms to further minimise the chance of cross-contamination as we don’t have to touch the taps to turn them on.
We have also set up a system that allows us to track every sterilised package that is used on every individual in our rooms. This is to guarantee our customers absolute safety as we are able to ensure that every package has been autoclaved properly.
A file is kept on every customer that has a piercing, check up, or change recording which instruments were used, what date they were packaged and confirming that each instrument has been sterilised correctly.
Our staff keep up with the latest information and technology on sterilisation by attending a year long certificate course designed specifically for those who work with sterilisers in the medical and related professions.

Metals

When you are being pierced at The Piercing Shop we only like to use the best quality metals available.

Are there different grades of surgical stainless steel?

Yes. The most commonly used surgical stainless steel is known as 316L. 316L steel starts off as a solid bar of steel and it is ground down to the size that is required, because of this process, there can be microscopic scratches all over the jewellery. At The Piercing Shop we prefer to use a certain type of steel known as 316LVM. The major difference between 316L and 316LVM is the process in which they achieve the desired thickness of jewellery. 316LVM is actually heated up until it is in a liquid form and set at the desired thickness, because of this process there is no need to grind it down, therefore there are no microscopic scratches on the jewellery.

Why do we only use 18ct Gold?

We do not use anything less than 18ct because the percentage of inferior metal used to make 9ct gold is more than half. 9ct gold is in fact only 37.5% pure gold, 14ct is 55% and 18ct is 75%. Our jeweller makes all of our jewellery by hand ensuring that every piece is highly polished and free from any possible scratches.

Are there any other metals that can be used for first time piercing?

There are two other metals that we can use for first time piercing, they are titanium and niobium. Niobium is the only hypoallergenic metal that is used in body piercing. Niobium naturally exists in humans in blood, bone, liver and muscle. Titanium is much lighter than surgical steel and much stronger. It is often used to make implantation medical devices. What these two metals have in common is that they are able to be coloured. The colour is an oxidisation layer which can break down over time but will not damage the piercing in any way. Some people can hold colour in titanium and niobium better than others depending on the acidity of the skin.

What is internally threaded jewellery?

There are two different types of threading. Externally threaded jewellery has the thread on the bar and the ball has a hole in it which the bar threads into. The disadvantage with externally threaded jewellery is that because the thread is on the bar it can damage the inside of the piercing during insertion, particularly if you are changing your own jewellery. Externally threaded jewellery is also more prone to having balls unscrew and fall off. We prefer to use internally threaded barbells and circular barbells not just because there is less risk of damaging your new piercing or loosing a ball, but because all of our internally threaded jewellery is made from the highest grade steel (316LVM) which means that it is free of all nicks and scratches.

Reviews

“If only customer service everywhere was as amazing as it is in the Piercing Shop. Jackie and the lovely girl behind the counter (sorry, didn’t catch your name) did everything possible to answer my questions, make me feel comfortable and even make someone sticking needles in me a pleasant experience!! And they did a fabulous job of the piercings to boot!! I’m a 39yo getting my ear lobes re-pierced and they made me feel just as important as the other customers in the shop getting more ‘exotic’ piercings….Thank you!! ��”

“I have gotten three ear cartilage piercings from them so far, and all these experiences were great. I’ve had two piercers from here and they were both so lovely and professional. They gladly helped me with any concerns or questions I had, and during the piercing process were very experienced, skilled, and just ble to make me feel not as worried about it all. Really recommend ”

“Yesterday I took my daughter to have her ears pierced at “The Piercing Shop” for her birthday. The staff were wonderful, they put my daughter at ease and fully explained our options (needle or gun) and all about the aftercare for her ears. They had a great variety of jewellery for her to choose from.
The shop and piercing rooms were exceptionally clean and the lady who did the actual piercing was just fantastic! Thank you for a great experience and a few good giggles while we were waiting to go in.
I would highly recommend going here.��”

“I would recommend the piercing shop to everyone, especially people who are nervous when getting pierced. I’ve been pierced by Jackie two times – both times I was freaking out and both times she was awesome at calming my crazy nerves! Very professional and welcoming. I would never go anywhere else �”

“Had to set aside some time to find the shop, sings were not that great. After reading some of the reviews and seeing some saying the owner was rude. I am pleased to be able to say my experience from start to finish was a good one. Not only do they pierce they help you heal it if your having an troubles. Would go back for future piercings, and recommend to others.”

“The most professional, hygienic, precise, respectful and down to earth bunch I have been too. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to do my piercings.

If you are serious about who permanently marks your body, book in…..In advance!!!!

I have had tongue, eyebrows, nose, septum, labret and face dermals done.

Great work as always ladies.
Love your stuff!!! �����”
