I went in to the studio for a consultation and piercing. From the conversation I had with the piercer, Quentin, over the phone, I could tell that he's knowledgeable in that type of piercing. It's a rather advanced one with little room for error so I don't plan on getting it done by just anyone. At the studio, I felt comfortable and we discussed the options and healing times for what I wanted. He was patient and answered all my questions. I chose to get another piercing done and go back later to do the more advanced one. During the piercing process, he talked me through what he was doing. It was all transparent.
I would definitely recommend this studio. The staff were pleasant and friendly. Quentin is professional. They even provided an after hours number for emergencies. I left the shop smiling that day. It was a great experience. Read Less

Quentin went through everything with me before he did the piercing, including complications that may come up with healing. He also explained to me the full piercing process while he was doing it.

Can't rate these guys highly enough! I rang in the morning to enquire about a Helix Piercing, spoke to a lovely lady who clearly knew her stuff and gave me all the info I needed immediately. I popped in that evening, a lovely little emporium, greeted warmly and seen straight away. I was informed I could be pierced with a small labret (flat backed) crystal stud, which I was delighted with, I didn't want a chunky ring or barbell, especially as you have to leave them in a long... time to heal before they can be changed. I was given a choice of several studs and they had exactly what I was after. Quentin was amazing, I was very nervous, but he has a fantastic ability to calm and even help you enjoy the piercing experience. His knowledge, standards of hygiene and professionalism are exceptional, a quick pinch and it was all over! The after care info is clear and conscientious, you even get a lolly and some stickers! Quentins home made Herbal Tincture that comes with the care pack is clearly phenomenal, because less than 2 weeks after the cartilage piercing I have no pain, swelling or redness, healing is coming along super well. I could even sleep on that side now if I wanted to (I just choose not to until it is completely healed inside and out) All in all I'm chuffed to bits, top marks guys! Keep up the fantastic work Xx See More Read Less

I have always gone to Kalima for my piercings as to me, they WERE the best. My last visit was a septum piercing. I am so disappointed because the woman performing the piercing was clearly very incompetent at her job.
Over three months later, my WONKY septum piercing is still sore to the touch even after religiously cleaning twice a day. My cartilage has also collapsed, so my nose is now permanently damaged. Will never return to them, which is sad for me, but maybe they need to be a bit more careful on who they employ. Read Less
