I visited York not too long ago with my friend. We spent our first afternoon looking for a piercing place, as never visited before, used google to find the best. Checked out reviews and portfolios of the_york_piercer and that was it we'd chosen. We called up and immediately got an appointment booked in (there are also walk ins available too). We was greeted in a friendly manner and shown where to go. I then had the other side of my nose pierced while my friend had her tongue pierced. The gentleman was happy to answer all of the questions that we'd had and was super helpful and informative with aftercare etc. I then jokingly said I'd come back tomorrow to get my septum done. He then said I should go for it if I wanted too and that was it, I was booked in again. I've only ever had nose or ear piercings so he was happy to answer the questions I had and how it would feel differently, again all my questions got answered and within 10 minutes I was all done. This is the best place personally I recommend for any piercings. I didn't get the opportunity for a tattoo but I'm sure they are just as great. We spent a good hour looking online and especially us being tourists of this city we wanted to find the best and we absolutely did. All the staff are friendly and it was a pleasure to be pierced there!
