If you’d like to add some sparkle to your style in the form of a new piercing, Leeds’ only fully-aseptic and fully-disposable piercing studio has moved into the Grand Arcade and Lewis and the team are waiting to help you achieve your desired look through a safe, caring and personalised service.
Founded by experienced piercer Lewis Millard, Diamond & Dagger was created as an antidote to conveyor belt-style piercing studios and it boasts a luxurious atmosphere where there’s no rush, pressure or judgement.
Diamond & Dagger prides itself on using a fully aseptic, single-use piercing setup and is the only studio in the city to do so. The piercing process is designed to prevent contamination from the outset, not simply to manage cleanliness.
Each piercing is performed within a controlled sterile field, using sterile gloves, single-use sterile needles, fully disposable tools and receivers, and single-use sterile drapes. No reusable instruments are used at any stage, and nothing non-sterile is permitted to contact the piercing site. Once the piercing is completed, all items used during the procedure are disposed of, ensuring sterility is never carried between clients.
You’ll only be offered jewellery that’s made from implant-grade titanium, premium niobium or solid 14-18kt gold, from world-leading brands like Junipurr and Tish Lyon, all of which are hypoallergenic and won’t corrode or tarnish. The studio’s warm and professional staff will put you at ease and take the time to understand your vision.
They can also help with any post-piercing issues at an aftercare appointment, even if your piercing was done elsewhere. If you have multiple piercings but are struggling to curate a cohesive look, the studio offers styling sessions that will help you to shape a collection around your chosen aesthetic.
An aseptic setup is not a buzzword for them – it refers to their very specific way of working. Their procedures go beyond industry standards by following strict cross-contamination controls through the entire piercing process.
Despite Diamond & Dagger’s high-end feel, its prices start at £25 for an earlobe, eyebrow or nose, or currently-trending flat, conch and helix piercings. It even offers discounts on selected days for students or blue light and armed forces members.
