Piercing,
perfected
Fine piercing and BVLA gold in Parnell. By appointment, one client at a time.
The work is permanent. The standard is non-negotiable.— Thomas Manning, Platinum Point
Auckland has no shortage of piercing studios. It has a shortage of studios that treat the work with the rigour it deserves. We exist because piercing is permanent, and permanent decisions deserve proper standards.
Every session reflects that. The instruments. The jewellery. The time.
About the studioTwo piercers
One standard
The only dedicated piercing studio in Parnell. Two specialist piercers, clinical aseptic technique, New Zealand's only exclusive BVLA studio. Built around the work.
Three ways to work with us
A long-term creative partnership. We map your anatomy, plan placement sequences that account for healing timelines, and build your ear across multiple appointments with a clear direction.
Every placement, from lobe to septum, performed under pharmaceutical-grade aseptic conditions. Anatomy assessed, placement mapped, aftercare included.
New Zealand's only exclusive BVLA studio. Handcrafted solid gold with hand-set stones, fitted by a piercer who understands the anatomy as well as the jewellery.
Your wedding ear is in every photograph. We map a healing timeline around your date, plan placements that photograph well, and help you choose BVLA pieces that sit alongside your bridal jewellery.
"I made the appointment, walked up the stairs in Parnell, and stopped second-guessing. That part is worth the price on its own."— Sophie L., Auckland
Most studios perform a piercing. We plan what the result looks like. The difference shows up before the needle: the conversation, the anatomy check, the jewellery selection.
