Walk-In Piercing at Timebomb Croydon

You don't need an appointment for a piercing at Timebomb Croydon. Piercing is a walk-in service, Monday to Saturday from 11am to 5.30pm. If the piercer is with someone, you may wait a few minutes, so have a look at the jewellery while you do.

What's included in the price

• Implant-grade (G23) nickel-free titanium jewellery
• An aftercare pack with cleaning product and instructions
• Ongoing advice if you have any questions while it heals

See the full list on the piercing prices page.

Bring photo ID

Photo ID showing date of birth is required for everyone being pierced, and for any parent or guardian with them. Under-16s must come with a parent or guardian. The ID and age page has the full rules and the minimum age for each piercing.

Before you come in

• Eat a meal or a snack. Steady blood sugar helps prevent dizziness.
• Drink plenty of water in the hours before.
• Skip alcohol the night before and on the day, and avoid aspirin, which can increase bleeding.
• Wear loose, comfortable clothes that keep the area easy to reach, especially for navel and body piercings.
• Remove make-up around facial piercing sites, and tie long hair back.

What happens on the day

1. Tell the team which piercing you'd like and show your ID.
2. Your piercer checks the placement with you and marks it before starting.
3. The piercing is done with a sterile needle (never a gun) in a studio licensed by Croydon Council.
4. You leave with your aftercare pack and instructions. Questions afterwards are welcome.
