Durham Piercing Academy

I can not recommend sarah enough for all of your piercing needs whether that be for your own piercings or to become a certified piercer.I have been lucky enough to have had 8 piercings in 8 weeks (4 on the same day) 4 of which were as a model for her training academy which was an amazing and privileged position to be in!Having had a few piercings else where i was ready for more and i found sarah was local to me. Started with an amazing offer she had on (by 1 pay £5 for 2nd) and came home with my nose and tragus pierced.. i was so impressed with sarahs friendliness, career background, cleanliness and approach to providing the perfect service. My SEN daughter also received 2 piercings that day alongside me and felt so relaxed with sarah. Within a few weeks i was back for more and i knew i was becoming addicted!!!Sarah took her time to discuss what i wanted and what would suit my ear shape and helped me make the perfect choice to start building up my ear piercings as well as change my jewellery with some id purchase from her beautiful range! Forward a week and i took a friend to start the build up of her ear stack piercings. Forward 2 weeks and i took my sister for her belly button piercing.. AMAZING!!!Forward to yesterday where i was a model for her academy students. We had discussed which piercings i would like to add to my collection and which would benefit her students and together we decided on bilateral nipple piercings, a flat and septum. Unfortunately on the day i was full of cold so septum changed to a conch after deep discussions with her very well informed students. I felt so comfortable throughout the training day as a model and was very satisfied that the students (amy, anya, ana) had received a very informed education prior to consenting, consulting and piercing me.I am left confident, happy and wanting more everytime i see sarah and can not recommend her enough to everyone i meet!Thank you so much Sarah and i will see you soon!

I enrolled in a course for piercing and business at the Durham Piercing Academy which is run by the lovely Sarah.If I'm honest I wish I was still there now.What an experience!!Sarah was by far the best, she made everyone feel at ease, even when slightly nervous about completing a certain piercing. She made everyone feel safe and confident in their surroundings.The course itself was very informative but also hands on which was both, perfect for me.She also took us through all the places to buy your equipment for when your up and running, which was very helpful.Since completing the course and returning to Essex if I ever have a question she is always more than happy to answer which is so lovely.If your considering this course then all I can say is go for it.If I was living in Durham I would have begged Sarah for a job because working along side her every day was an absolute privilege.Thank you for providing me with the confidence, information, practical and experience.Amy Quigley

Sarah was a great trainer. Made us feel so at ease. Thorough training and practicals. Highly recommend :)

After the best two days of my piercing training, i can honestly say it’s the best course i’ve been on. so thorough with all her theory and practical and you are given an amazing and helpful folder/ note pad to take home with you. Would definitely recommend to do a course with Sarah!xx

Attended the academy as a model for the trainee piercers. Sarah had clearly taught them well, they did an incredible job and Sarah was standing by and making sure they did a great job!

Thank you Sarah! I had the best time. So lovely. Nothing was ever a bother. The information provided and the guidance given has got me raring to go!If you’re wanting to learn how to pierce give Sarah a message. She’s the best!

I have just recently completed my body piercing course with the amazing Sarah. I have had such a wonderful learning experience.Sarah is very professional and patient, and thanks to this course I move into the future very confident. Sarah not only give’s you the skills to be a confident body piercer, she also delivers the course to the highest standard, she goes out of her way and also advise’s you in your piercing set up and journey. Highly recommend .. this course.

I recently completed a 1-1 piercing and business management course with Sarah. I cannot recommend this place enough. From the start the atmosphere was welcoming as well as professional.I learned all the necessary theory and health and safety as well as having live and silicone models to pierce.If you're thinking about doing this course...stop thinking and just do it! You will not regret it at all- take my word for it!

Thank you for everything Sarah! Absolutely loved doing the course. So welcoming, helpful, informative and detailed. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to do this course, couldn’t praise Sarah enough, don’t hesitate to book! Sarah gives you confidence and guidance to set you up for this career x
