If you’d like to add some sparkle to your style in the form of a new piercing, Leeds’ best-rated piercing studio has just moved into the Grand Arcade and its 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 conveyer belt-style piercing studios and it boasts a luxurious, spa-like atmosphere where there’s no rush, pressure or judgement.

Diamond & Dagger prides itself on being the city’s only aseptic piercing studio and its medical-grade setup prevents infection while shortening your healing time. Your piercer will use disposable gloves and a single-use needle, and you’ll only be offered jewellery that’s made from implant-grade titanium, premium niobium or solid 14-18kt gold – 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.

Your choice of piercing is personal and your jewellery should be too. Diamond & Dagger stocks a wide range of beautiful pieces by world-leading brands like Junipurr, BVLA, Anatometal, NeoMetal and Tish Lyon, including one-of-a-kind designs. 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.

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.
