Meet Aaron, Professional Body Piercer
Hi, I’m Aaron from Liverpool. I’m a tattoo artist and piercer with several years of experience in the industry, and I’m still as passionate about learning and developing my craft as I was on day one. Tattooing and piercing allow me to combine creativity with precision, and I love working with clients to create pieces that hold personal meaning and leave a lasting impression.
Outside of the studio, I spend much of my time exploring other creative outlets. I enjoy photography, drawing, and painting, which often inspire my tattoo designs. In the evenings, you’ll usually find me playing PlayStation or switching between guitar and piano, as music has always been another form of self-expression for me. When I want to recharge, I hit the road on my motorbike, riding across the country and finding inspiration in new places and experiences.
Smiley Lip Mouth Piercing – Age Policy (Liverpool, England)
In England, there is no specific national law setting a minimum age for Smiley piercings. However, at our Liverpool studio, we follow strict safety and consent guidelines to ensure client wellbeing and professional standards.
We offer Smiley piercings from age 16 with valid photo ID (passport, driving licence, or citizen card) to confirm age. Anyone under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian present to provide written consent and remain in the studio during the procedure. For younger clients, we may decline the piercing if we feel the anatomy isn’t suitable for safe and comfortable placement.
All Smiley piercings are performed by skilled professionals using sterile, single-use needles and implant-grade, hypoallergenic jewellery to ensure maximum safety and comfort. After the procedure, we provide full aftercare instructions and ongoing support to help your new piercing heal smoothly.
How Painful is a Smiley Piercing?
Pain levels for a Smiley piercing are generally mild and brief, though they can vary from person to person. Most clients describe it as a quick pinch on the thin tissue under the upper lip, followed by slight pressure or minor tenderness. Because the Smiley piercing goes through delicate oral tissue, it may feel a bit more sensitive than ear piercings, but the discomfort usually passes quickly.
After the procedure, it’s normal to notice minor swelling, redness, or tenderness for a few days. Healing typically takes 4–8 weeks, though some sensitivity can linger if the area is pressed, irritated, or exposed to harsh oral activity during the healing process.
Our experienced piercers use sterile, single-use needles and implant-grade, hypoallergenic jewellery to make the procedure as smooth and comfortable as possible. With proper aftercare—including avoiding unnecessary touching, eating spicy foods, or oral trauma—your Smiley piercing should heal cleanly and discreetly, leaving a stylish accent that’s subtle yet playful.
Pain Reduction for Piercings
Everyone experiences pain differently, and while most Smiley piercings involve only a quick, sharp sensation, we understand that some clients want ways to make the process more comfortable. At our Liverpool studio, we do not provide or recommend numbing creams as part of our service, since they can sometimes affect skin texture, blood flow, and healing. They aren’t usually necessary for a safe, smooth piercing.
If you choose to use a numbing cream, it’s at your own risk. Popular options people use include Emla, TKTX Numbing Cream, and No Tears Numbing Cream. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions, perform a patch test first, and inform your piercer before your appointment.
Other effective ways to minimize discomfort include:
Eating a nutritious meal beforehand to keep your blood sugar stable.
Staying hydrated and avoiding alcohol or caffeine prior to your appointment.
Taking slow, deep breaths during the piercing to help you relax.
Remembering that the procedure is very quick — often just a few seconds.
Our experienced piercers work efficiently and gently, using sterile, high-quality equipment to ensure your Smiley lip piercing experience is as smooth, safe, and stress-free as possible.
Smiley Lip piercing Healing / Aftercare
The Smiley piercing is a playful and subtle favourite among Liverpool locals. Positioned on the thin tissue connecting the upper lip to the gums, this hidden piercing is discreet yet adds a unique accent to your smile. Whether you’re walking around Liverpool ONE or enjoying a night out in the Baltic Triangle, a Smiley piercing offers a fun, stylish way to express yourself.
At Liverpool Tattoos, we’ve performed Smiley piercings for clients all across Merseyside, from Sefton to Toxteth, helping them achieve a clean, precise look that complements their smile. Many clients ask about discomfort or healing time, which is why we use only sterile, medical-grade needles and implant-grade jewellery, along with full aftercare guidance to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience from start to finish.
Professional Smiley Piercing Process
Every Smiley piercing appointment at our Liverpool studio begins with a friendly, in-depth consultation. During this time, we examine your oral anatomy and discuss your style preferences to ensure the piercing is placed in the best position for both comfort and long-term healing. Placement is especially important for Smiley piercings, as they sit on the delicate tissue connecting your upper lip to your gums. We’ll show you jewellery options and carefully mark the location for your approval before starting.
We’ll also review your medical history and answer any questions you may have. By keeping detailed client records, we make sure every Smiley piercing is tailored to your individual needs, providing a safe, professional, and personal experience.
Safe & Professional Piercing Procedure
Our Smiley piercing procedure meets strict hygiene and safety standards. We use sterile, single-use needles opened in front of you and never use piercing guns, which can cause unnecessary damage. The piercing itself takes just a few seconds, and many clients are pleasantly surprised by how quick and manageable it feels. Our team guides you through positioning and techniques to keep you relaxed and comfortable throughout.
High-Quality Jewellery
All Smiley piercings at our Liverpool studio are fitted with implant-grade titanium or surgical steel jewellery. These hypoallergenic materials are safer than cheaper alternatives, reducing irritation and encouraging healthy healing from the very start. You can also choose jewellery styles that match your personality, from subtle hoops to sparkling studs.

A Smiley piercing, also called a lip frenum or Lip Mouth piercing, is a small, discreet piercing through the thin tissue connecting your upper lip to your gums. It’s mostly hidden when your lips are closed but becomes visible when you smile, adding a subtle, stylish accent.
At our Liverpool studio, Smiley piercings are £45, which includes sterile equipment, high-quality implant-grade jewellery, and full aftercare guidance.
Most clients report mild, brief discomfort—a quick pinch followed by slight pressure. Because the piercing goes through delicate oral tissue, it may feel slightly more sensitive than an ear piercing, but the pain is generally short-lived.
Healing usually takes 4–8 weeks, though some sensitivity can remain if the area is pressed, irritated, or exposed to harsh oral activity. Following proper aftercare ensures a smooth and safe healing process.
We offer a range of implant-grade titanium or surgical steel jewellery, from subtle hoops to sparkling studs. Our piercers will guide you to choose jewellery that suits your smile and comfort.
We offer Smiley piercings from age 16 with valid photo ID (passport, driving licence, or citizen card). Anyone under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian present to provide written consent and remain in the studio during the procedure.
