Newcastle Jewellery Company — Local services in Newcastle upon Tyne

I am leaving a review to warn people of the man who does the piercings here. Some recent reviews echo the same feelings.

If you are quite comfortable with piercings and quality is not the priority, then you won't mind this place. I don't mean that in a snarky way, piercings are expensive and they offer a cheaper rate so it depends what you are looking for.

I went for my first piercing and the guy traumatised me. Why is he in this job when he lacks communication skills with zero empathy. Very unprofessional, bad attitude and I would perhaps have overlooked this after abit if he could atleast do a good job of piercing. But lol can't even do that because he can't align piercings so they are in the right place.

A while back when I got my nose pierced, I hd to argue because of where I wanted my nose pierce. He was placing it too low. A few weeks later the nose stud fell out in the shower and I went back within an hour to get it put back in. He said he can't and repierced it....in the same place. As in the front is the same hole but he pushed it through and the exit is slightly higher. As a result, my stud now will pop out from different exits bcs it didn't actually close. It took ages to heal properly.

I was going to get my ears done but as soon as I saw he marked them too close to the edge I was OUT.

Go to Blue Lotus at Haymarket for quality and people who actually care about...

I would NEVER go back here i went in for the first time to get my 3rds done and tragus but was told i was only allowed one in total which i’ve never known before but i chose the tragus because i didn’t want to walk out with just one of my 3rds done it was silly. he seemed rude as soon as we walked in not even a hi or anything i didnt know he was doing it until he handed me paper to fill out. i tried making conversation to feel a bit more relaxed but he basically had non of it made me feel super uncomfortable. he put the dot on then i looked in the mirror and i personally thought it looked a bit close to the edge but was shut down with “it’s in the middle” so i sat down i asked for a second because i was nervous since i am having a needle stuck through a thick part of my ear then was told right your too nervous and wiped the dot of and turned his back to me i sat for a second in shock and confused what just happened bare in mind i’ve got a few piercings so i could deal with it but still doesn’t take nerves away. i am so so so glad he did not do it especially having experience with such better places he made me feel super uncomfortable and not relaxed at all. definitely a blessing in disguise not getting it done here. i went somewhere else afterwards and they were lovely and made me feel relaxed getting them done and actually spoke to me and weren't rude...

For the piercings, an entirely 50/50 experience

I know that one woman who works here is amazing, ensures you're happy with it all and is entirely supportive if you're a bit on edge but I can't say the same for anyone else. I've gotten nine piercings here mostly just because I'm not too fussed about things being perfect and thank god I really don't mind because nobody could get the piercing locations correct if their lives depended on it. My thirds are uneven and I honestly have no idea why they used a gun for it because I'm sure my left one ended up going through the cartilage so it's still yet to heal months later. My helixes aren't as bad, my first one was perfect and they use needles so it's over with quickly but when I got another just below it they somehow managed to get it to come out at a different angle?? The first is just facing straight out so I don't even understand how they've managed to mess that much up. I got my septum done too here and that went just fine, honestly the best one I've gotten here however one of the balls did fall of under an hour later. I came back and the lady from the start was nice enough to give me another and another two or so as spares.

Overall, if you're looking for something cheap, you'll get it here, but if you want something guaranteed to be good, find somewhere else to...
