I’ve been here with my mum and on my own , I’ve had 5 piercings done in the last 2 months by Adele and I cannot stress enough how nice and calm she is with me . I was very nervous with mine and she made me smile and laugh throughout the time there . I really recommended jynx because of how sweet and caring they are . Thankyou Adele !!!!

My sister and I decided on a spontaneous piercing day and we were glad we did! Adele made us feel so welcome along with other staff. I brought my son in and they were more than welcoming to him. I had my septum pierced and I cant express how impressed I am with it, Adele really took her time to make sure I was feeling okay and that the clamp was in the correct place. I was so happy with it and it goes perfect with my nose ring! Thank you so much Adele x

Decided to go here for the 2 for £30 piercings, staff were very welcoming and the piercer was very attentive- she made sure I liked the placements and was okay through each step, offered me some water and asked if I wanted a break in between. Really good experience. Lots of options for jewellery and overall just a clean and sterile environment. In and out, didn’t take long at all. Would absolutely go again. Went back for a septum and nostril piercing, Adele was my piercer and she was lovely. Nostril was really easy and quick. Initially the septum was a little bit crooked because of my cartilage cracking the wrong way and Adele was quick to fix the issue, she didn’t want me to leave with a piercing that wasn’t up to her standards, so we pierced it again and it’s perfect. No issues what-so-ever and I’d definitely go back to get another piercing with Adele.

The studio is beautiful. the staff are professional but kind. prices reasonable.

Jynx is easily the friendliest, most down to earth and honest studio I've been in. Everyone there is just awesome and nothing is too big or too small. I've had a few tattoo sessions there now and have more booked in. There is a great range of specialties between the artists and Freddie will always make sure you get the artist that suits what you want best. Freddie and his wife have done an amazing job with Jynx, creating a welcoming, friendly and relaxed atmosphere that is shared between the customers and the artists. Jynx will always be my go to studio now, genuinely couldn't ask for more!
