Extreme Needle

I got my nose pierced here and have nothing bad to say. The staff was super friendly. When I went in to get the piercing done, the room was very clean and every surface was spotless. There wasn’t even a stray pen resting on the counter. When piercing my nose, the technician talked me through the process, made sure they knew exactly what I wanted, and changed gloves three times for sanitation purposes.
I would definitely recommend.

I got my first tattoo done today. A small heart behind my ear.
I was freaking out, but the staff at Extreme Needle were fantastic. They even searched and played a song with wooden pan flutes to help me Zen out lol.

I was recommended to this place by a friend, and boy was it the right place to go.
I went to the Leicester Square branch today to get my left nipple pierced, with my housemate who wanted to get her ear done (I’m gonna say it was outer conch, through the cartilage on the outside of her ear about halfway up, but I’m no expert). As it turned out, Roni was the expert. She knows her stuff! She was charming and soothing for both of us — my housemate was more nervous, I was just excited. There was no wait at all (we went on a Saturday afternoon).
Neither of us are particularly embellished with piercings, these were our first non-​earlobe ones, but the staff were completely welcoming and I didn’t feel judged like I have in some other places I’ve visited in the past.
Only one person can go into the piercing room at a time, so I can’t speak for my housemate’s experience but I can speak for mine. The room was extraordinarily clean and hygienic. I’ve been working in biological labs with viruses for the last two weeks and Roni’s hygiene put lab protocol to shame.
Roni made me feel very at ease, marked up the area, continuously checked if I liked the look of everything, and went ahead and did it freehand. It felt like a slight pinch and was over soon. It looked great! I got a lot of information on aftercare.
I went for fish and chips in Leicester square slightly sore and very pleased.
So pleased in fact, that I went back an hour later to get my other nipple done! They didn’t even seem surprised. I was even offered the discounted rate which I would have obtained had I done them as a pair. Roni was super efficient and fantastic again, and I am now thoroughly chuffed and holey.
I would recommend Extreme Needle to anybody — clean, professional, friendly, fantastic overall. My pair of piercings was £70 and my housemate’s was £30. I was so pleased that I tipped too — and I’m a stingy student! I’m sure I’ll be back.

Some great customer service here from the girls working the day I went for my piercing.
Have never seen someone change their gloves so quickly and promptly between each step of the piercing.
A reasonable price with jewellery not a hidden cost as so many ink shops keep doing!
Would recommend going back and I will soon for a change in size. Thanks!

I’ve had two piercings done at Extreme Needle, both by Roni. The shop is clean, everyone is friendly and I’m really happy with both of my piercings. I know I’ll definitely come back to Extreme Needle for my next one!

I LOVE Extreme Needle. Seriously, After getting pierced at this place I will never go anywhere else again.
I’ve had 6 piercings before finding Extreme needle and the experience I had here made me really second guess anywhere I’ve been before.
I had my smiley pierced, and my boyfriend had his septum pierced with Roni. Amazing piercer!!! She talked us through everything, and then pierced freehand (The BEST way to do it as clamps can stop blood flow and cause bruising) which was virtually pain free!
She gave us loads of good aftercare tips too, and we still pop in sometimes just to say hi :)
I also went back in to have my smiley bar changed 3 months later and she done it free of charge, I just bought the bar.
There isn’t a price list on the site but expect to pay between 30 – 50 quid for most piercings.
Give them a ring or drop them an email if you want any more info The whole team is really lovely.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Ask for Roni You cant miss her!

Got my biggest tattoo done here! I put a hell of a lot of consideration into where I was going to get the art work done due to the size and detail I knew I needed an EXCELLENT artist!
Extreme Needle was recommended to me by a great friend who had a large piece done by Chris in the Leicester Square shop. The quality of the work spoke for itself and I knew I had to contact Extreme Needle! So I called and spoke with Abz who is the founder of the business and sent him over the image I had for my new piece. He got straight back to me and let me know that one of his Artist’s, Alex, wanted to tattoo me! I went straight over to the shop to get a quote and Alex agreed to start straight away! After 2 and a half hours I was beat No food + tattoos = crap idea! I went home to rest and returned a week later to get my beautiful back piece finished! Also got a piercing while I was there, healed perfectly and virtually pain-​free (although that could be due to being tattooed for 3 hours beforehand! Lol). I’ll be going back!

My experience with this salon was not great. I had an appointment for a small tattoo, but ended up waiting for an hour and 45 minutes because the artist was busy working on his walk-​in customer with a large tattoo.
I know mine was only small and thus not so lucrative for the artist, but what is the point of taking appointments if they prioritise the walk-​in customers? Then, because of all the delay, the tattooing session was rushed.
After going home and closely examining it, I discovered that the artist did not adhere to the design I brought in; he omitted lines, added lines, changed curved lines into straight lines. I returned to the salon the following day, and asked if it was possible to have it more faithful to my design. The artist then told me The way I did it is better, the original design was not good.
I was very saddened by the remark, as the original design meant a lot to me. In the end, the artist agreed to work on the tattoo to make it more alike my design, and told me to come back in 3 – 4 weeks’ time, giving the tattoo the time to heal.
When I returned in 4 weeks’ time, I was told the artist has gone on holiday and won’t be coming back for 5 MONTHS! The salon told me I can ask other artist to work on it, but then that would cost me another £120.
At this point I had lost my faith them. I decided to go to a different salon to have the tattoo fixed. Very disappointing experience.

Ich hatte eine Woche vor der Abreise nach London eine Mail ans Studio geschickt mit unseren Motiven und der Anfrage auf 2 kurzfristige Termine. Die Antwort hat nicht lange auf sich warten lassen. Mein anliegen wurde trotz meines Spartanisches Englisch gut verstanden und wir bekamen unsere Termine. Das Studio liegt etwas versteckt und wir sind mehr als 2 mal daran vorbei gelaufen bevor wir es dann doch entdeckten. Die Atmosphäre und die Einrichtung sind wirklich cool, die Tätowierer super drauf und unsere Tattoos sind grandios geworden! Der hohe Preis hat uns doch etwas überrascht, aber für ein Londoner Souvenir das ewig hält zahlt man halt auch gerne mal etwas mehr. Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen

I’ve never written a Unilocal review before, but after my experience today I just had to!
I went to the other location in Leicester Square because the Charing Cross one is tattoo-​only.
I went tonight without an appointment. I was extremely nervous going into the shop, as I hate needles and I’ve only had my ears pierced once before, but as soon as I met Roni (who has the most interesting collection of facial tattoos and piercings, and his eyeballs are tattooed black! whew!) I instantly felt better. Roni made the whole process quick and (practically) painless. My wait time was around 20 minutes tops, and it cost £25 for my nose piercing.
The atmosphere of the shop was busy busy busy, with loud upbeat music playing and a tattoo machine buzz in the background.
After waiting, Roni took me to the back and was calm the whole time, asking me about myself and talking about life in London. It definitely helped relax me, and for that I’m grateful. He was very patient and gave me time to decide exactly where I wanted the stud to be. Everything was clean and sterile. I was done within 10 minutes — Roni really knows his stuff (I think he said he’s been in the business for a decade or so?).
I would definitely come back here for any other piercings/​tattoos.

Although I haven’t gotten a piercing here, I dropped in to have jewelry changed and one piercing stretched. Angela was so great! She was professional, talented and so helpful. I had become so disenchanted trying to find a piercer in London that I felt comfortable with but Angela definitely fits the bill! I will definitely go back for any piercings in the future! Highly recommended.

Was here today and was fortunate to get a tattoo from Alexandre Mansuy (from France). Alex was excellent. Although young, he is very talented and has an excellent touch with the gun. I was very impressed and happy with his work.
My wife and I enjoyed a few drinks at a pub around the corner then stopped back in to say thanks. It was then that we met Abraham, the owner. He couldnt have been nicer as he discussed his shop and his artists. We had a great time discussing all things tattoo and am happy to have received my London ink at his shop.
Many thanks to Abraham and Alex. Job well done! Please look here if you are in the area and looking for some fresh ink :)

Located in Chinatown Market, on the 2^nd floor.
Alex the owner has 2 shops, this one, and another one in Leicester square. This one specifically is tattoo only. His other shop has one stall for tattoos and piercing only. Very decently priced.
few artists there that are pretty cool, theres this female there who specializes in dots, and Pogo specializes in japanese.
