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.
Tongue Piercing – Age Policy (Liverpool, England)
In England, there is no specific national law setting a minimum age for tongue piercings. However, at our Liverpool studio, we follow strict safety and consent guidelines to ensure client wellbeing and professional standards.
We offer tongue 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 tongue 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 Tongue Piercing?
Pain levels for a tongue piercing are generally moderate but short-lived, and they can vary depending on the individual. Most clients describe it as a quick, sharp pinch through the centre of the tongue, followed by slight pressure or mild tenderness. Because the piercing goes through dense oral tissue, some sensitivity is normal, but the discomfort usually subsides quickly.
After the procedure, it’s common to experience minor swelling, redness, or tenderness for a few days. Healing generally takes 6–8 weeks, though some sensitivity can persist if the tongue is pressed, irritated, or exposed to certain foods and activities during the healing period.
Our experienced piercers use sterile, single-use needles and implant-grade, hypoallergenic jewellery to ensure the procedure is as smooth and comfortable as possible. With proper aftercare—including avoiding excessive touching, hot or spicy foods, and oral trauma—your tongue piercing should heal safely and look stylish with minimal complications.
Pain Reduction for Piercings
Everyone experiences pain differently, and while most Tongue 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 Tongue piercing experience is as smooth, safe, and stress-free as possible.
Tongue piercing Healing / Aftercare
The tongue piercing is a bold and popular choice among Liverpool locals. Positioned through the centre of the tongue, this piercing creates a striking yet versatile look that’s visible when you speak or playfully hidden otherwise. Whether you’re exploring Liverpool ONE or enjoying a night out in the Baltic Triangle, a tongue piercing adds a confident, stylish edge to your personal expression.
At Liverpool Tattoos, we’ve performed tongue piercings for clients across Merseyside, from Sefton to Toxteth, helping them achieve a clean, precise look that suits their oral anatomy and style. 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, ensuring a safe, smooth, and comfortable experience from start to finish.
Professional Tongue Piercing Process
Every tongue 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 tongue piercings, as they go through dense oral tissue. We’ll also show you jewellery options and carefully mark the location for your approval before starting.
We review your medical history and answer any questions you may have. By keeping detailed client records, we make sure every tongue piercing is tailored to your individual needs, providing a safe, professional, and personal experience.
Safe & Professional Piercing Procedure
Our tongue 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 procedure itself takes only 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 tongue piercings at our Liverpool studio are fitted with implant-grade titanium or surgical steel jewellery. These hypoallergenic materials reduce irritation and encourage healthy healing from the start. You can also choose jewellery styles that suit your personality, from classic barbells to vibrant custom options.
