Piercing Planet

I have had two very good body piercing experiences at Piercing Planet. Downstairs was busy with shoppers and I did have a short wait to see the piercer (from memory I had made an appointment). They do not have any waiting seats downstairs so I got to check out the piercing (and other) jewellery in stock (and there’s plenty to see.).
Upstairs the piercing rooms have that recently disinfected smell and everything was clean and in order.
The woman who did the piercing was very experienced (10 years in the business) and made me feel very relaxed (for someone who was about to have a needle shoved through a very sensitive part of my body). hahaha! I was given an after-​care kit and I had no issues with the piercings and still have them.
If I every plucked up the courage to get something else pierced, I would not hesitate to go back to piercing planet.

All staff are super nice! Know what they are talking about, they always make you feel really welcome. The piercings are always good there and super quick. I’ve had my seconds, conch, helix, tragus, belly and septum and have had no problem with them

Been here several times. This piercing shop is ok. Staff are always busy so you have to wait for a while and it can be hard to get their attention. Some of the staff aren’t particularly friendly. This piercing shop has a huge selection of piercing jewelry so your spoilt for choice. If the staff were nicer it would get 4 stars. They are also one of the only places in Brisbane that I’ve seen that have a large variety of belly button rings.
Although if somewhere else had a large range of belly buttons with better service I would go there. I’ve never had a piercing job done here so I can’t comment on that part of the business.

Absolutely horrible.
The girl that was helping me down on the floor was nice enough, I told her it was the first time I was buying new jewelry for my nose since having it piercing and I was after the same jewelry I had in my nose but in black… but I had no idea what size or anything about it. She looked at it and pulled out two different sizes and said it was one of them and the girl upstairs changing it would sort it out.
When I got upstairs for it to be changed I told that girl the same thing. She took my jewelry out, and quickly popped in one of theirs… I got up to look in the mirror and it wasn’t the same as what I had. She rang downstairs to see if they had the proper one, and they didn’t…apparently they don’t stock it. I wasn’t happy with the way theirs looked, and they wouldn’t do anything for me to refund my money.
I asked for a managers name and number to call and they don’t give out that information but took mine. I hadn’t got a call in two weeks so I stopped in and left my name and number again and then I finally got a call. The manager tried to turn the blame around on me that I didn’t know about my jewelry — which I was upfront with the girl about from the beginning, and she had led me to believe she had the same one. He also told me to go ahead and call the government department for fair trading, and said this happens to hundreds of customers (and yet they are specialist?) and he’s never heard of someone «whinge» about it. I don’t think that’s an appropriate thing to say to a customer that’s had a negative experience.
The MANAGER went so far as to hang up on me in the end of the call, completely unprofessional.
They advertise themselves as specialist, but clearly that’s not quite the case. I wouldn’t trust them now to go back for other body jewelry, which is unfortunate because I do have other piercings that I wanted to get new jewelry for. I’ll definitely be taking my business elsewhere.

Confession? I’d never been to Piercing Planet but decided it was a crap business because I knew a couple of 13-​year-​old girls who’d been pierced without their parents’ knowledge and I thought it sounded irresponsible. When I went there though, I was pleasantly surprised at the professionalism of the place. The staff were very knowledgeable and the studio is immaculate.
The Piercing Planet website urges kids to get parental approval before going ahead, but only genital piercing actually requires written parental consent under 16, although it remains a contentious issue among parents and schools. Getting back to Piercing Planet, they have a huge range of silver jewellery and some of it is outstanding. I love it when I find something different and there are some unusual pieces here.

Whether you’re looking to get a few more holes in your body or just some jewellery for piercings you already have, Piercing Planet can help you out. They have the hugest range of silver jewellery and body piercing jewellery I’ve ever seen. If you’re after a particular-​sized barbell for your tongue, navel, or any other conceivable piercing they’ll probably have it.
They perform piercings in hygienic studios upstairs, and sell their wares downstairs. The prices here are great. I’m always surprised by how cheap it is when I get to the counter to pay. I haven’t been pierced here because I have another piercer who I’ve been going to for a decade, but if she weren’t available this would be my first pick. I have had jewellery changes done here, though, which is how I can vouch for their hygienic rooms and sterile procedures.
It’s always packed, but the staff are helpful and can offer advice on what size jewellery you might need. If you’re not puncture inclined, they also have a crazy range of rings, bracelets, necklaces, pendants and any other silver jewellery you can think of.
Piercing Planet is out of this world! (ha, sorry, I couldn’t resist)
