Why Choosing the Right Piercing Studio Matters
A piercing is a permanent modification to your body. Done well, by a trained professional using high-quality materials, it heals cleanly and looks beautiful for years. Done poorly — in a studio that cuts corners on hygiene or jewellery quality — it can lead to infections, keloids, scarring, or rejection.
In Lichfield and the wider Staffordshire area, you have options. But not all piercing studios are equal. Here’s what separates a truly professional studio from the rest:
- Trained, experienced piercer — not just a tattoo artist who does piercings on the side
- Implant-grade jewellery — titanium, solid gold, or implant-grade steel; never mystery metals
- Single-use, sterile equipment — needles opened in front of you, autoclaved tools
- Clean, clinical environment — proper cross-contamination protocols
- Aftercare advice included — written guidance, not just a verbal “keep it clean”
- Free downsizing — changing your initial jewellery once swelling reduces (not all studios offer this!)
Tick all six boxes and you’re in the right place. Piercings by Jenny in Lichfield ticks every single one.

Meet Jenny: Lichfield’s Professional Piercing Artist
Behind Piercings by Jenny is Jenny herself — a dedicated, professional piercing artist based at 9 Eastern Avenue, Lichfield, near Boley Park. Jenny’s studio is not a walk-in tattoo parlour with a piercing gun in the corner. It is a specialist piercing studio, focused entirely on delivering safe, precise, and beautiful piercings.
Jenny uses only implant-grade titanium jewellery — the gold standard in body piercing materials. Titanium is hypoallergenic, lightweight, and ASTM F136 certified, making it the safest option for new piercings. Unlike surgical steel, it contains no nickel, which means even clients with sensitive skin or metal allergies can heal comfortably.
“The quality of your initial jewellery directly affects how well your piercing heals. That’s why I only use implant-grade titanium — it’s not a luxury, it’s a standard.”— Jenny, Piercings by Jenny, Lichfield

Jewellery Quality: Why Titanium is the Only Choice
Many studios use cheap, unbranded jewellery sourced in bulk. This is one of the most common causes of piercing complications. Poor-quality metals can leach nickel, harbour bacteria in surface scratches, and delay healing by months.
At Piercings by Jenny in Lichfield, every piece of initial jewellery used is:
- ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium — the same material used in surgical implants
- Threadless or internally threaded — external threading tears the piercing channel during insertion
- Anodised for colour — vibrant, durable colours that don’t fade or irritate
- Appropriately sized for your anatomy — not one-size-fits-all
Once your piercing has healed and downsizing is complete, you can browse an extensive range of upgrade jewellery — from simple titanium bars to ornate gem clusters and hinged rings.

The Lichfield Studio: What to Expect on the Day
Visiting Piercings by Jenny for the first time? Here’s exactly what happens when you walk through the door at 9 Eastern Avenue, Lichfield:
Step 1 — Consultation
Jenny will talk you through your chosen piercing: placement options, jewellery choices, healing expectations, and any questions you have. There’s no rush and no pressure. If you’re not ready to proceed, that’s completely fine.
Step 2 — Preparation
The piercing area is cleaned and marked. You’ll approve the exact placement before anything is done — because millimetres matter, especially on facial and cartilage piercings.
Step 3 — The Piercing
Using a sterile, single-use needle (never a gun for cartilage), Jenny performs the piercing quickly and precisely. Needle piercings create a clean channel that heals far better than gun piercings, which crush the tissue.
Step 4 — Aftercare Guidance
You’ll leave with clear written aftercare instructions, including how to clean the piercing, what to avoid, and when to book your free downsizing appointment.
Proper aftercare is just as important as the piercing itself — Jenny provides clear guidance to every client
Free Downsizing: Why It Sets Piercings by Jenny Apart
Here’s something many people don’t know: the jewellery you’re initially pierced with is longer than you’ll wear long-term. This extra length accommodates swelling in the first few weeks of healing. Once the swelling goes down, a shorter post is fitted — this is called downsizing.
Skipping this step (or wearing your initial long bar indefinitely) can lead to the jewellery snagging, migrating, or causing unnecessary irritation. It’s a crucial part of the healing process.
Piercings by Jenny offers free downsizing to all clients. This is included in your piercing price and reflects Jenny’s commitment to your piercing healing properly — not just looking good on the day.
